Whats your thoughts on someone who drinks alone?

I tend to drink by myself a lot, sometimes its a few beers, on occasion its binge drinking. I’ll just stay at home, watch TV, play video games, or listen to music, and have some beer. I don’t think its getting in the way of my personal life, or job; obviously if I have something better to do, I’ll go do that. But for some reason whenever I tell people I drink by myself, they look at me weird.

What are your thoughts on drinking by yourself?

*note: I’m in my mid 20’s so, would drinking alone be more acceptable at a later age? I have a friend who is 40 who goes to the same bar (alone) every day and drinks, but people don’t think twice about him.
