Alcohol is not a friend for people that are without sex, I can't even explain why. it's like trying to mix oil and water, perhaps it's because alcohol is generally a social drug.
There's no net happiness, or long term solace or forgetfulness to be found in alcohol if you're life isn't already forfilling, I can understand an old hermit spending his days hitting the bottle hard but it's bittersweet for a lonely younger or middle-aged person.
Don't become an alcohol soaked doomer because it's a rut that will be very hard to climb out of, becoming more monk-like is the only way to handle the mental illness that comes from being alone. Chaste men's societies throughout history can teach us something.
