Yeah regarding the drinking alone; it's an easy escape from whatever is happening right now (45+ yrs here). Not an alcoholic but I definitely have a bad habit (that's what all alcoholics say, right?) during non work hours to disconnect (not sure from what to be honest..life?)

Same for me, 19-20 years old working in a small IT department (i.e. lots of scrolling slashdot). Remember going out telling some people in the corridor outside my small office and noone believed me as Swedish news sites had not updated yet
