Perfectly acceptable. Anytime. Unless when you say bar you mean gay club. And by Staurday you mean honeymoon.

So heres what I'm taking from this:
Feeling curious:
It's perfectly fine and encourages things to happenFeeling sad:
Pathetic and deserving of rebuke.Feeling bored:
Sensible way to pass the time.Also, I hear it's less deserving of shame from people who actually do this than people who have less experience soloing the bar, so I'm going to assume there is barrier to entry here and it involves how you pull off your solo drinking. Have to appear like you know what you are doing.
- Also, quantity seems to figure. 2-3 = ok.. peepants mc drunk = sadcannonball1978

i'd rather be solo at a bar than drinking at home alone. usually end up talking to strangers at the bar – much less chance of strangers showing up in my living room.
also very hard to pass up $1.50 drafts at the bar across the street from my apartment.

you can get over the feeling that people might think you've stood up by defiantly...

do you mean one or two pints while having a read of the newspaper / watching the match or do you mean full on session?

depends on how much you enjoy your own company.

I got bored, walked up the street, walked into a bar, had a beer, walked into another bar, had half a beer, went home. Just had nothing to do. Would have liked the "paper and a pint" experience, but it was a Sat. night, not a tuesday afternoon.

I drink home alone.

I used to all the time, granted it would be at 3-4am at an afterhours club in amsterdam on my way home after long hauls at the office

depends on what you're drinking no?

Nothing sad, as long as you dont puke or crap yourself

For some reason, this is a lot easier to do (drink solo at bar) while out of town on a business trip.
So just act like your always from out of town.

I've done it when I travel.... it's fine... I agree with stoplying :)
