Blokes are banding together nationwide to shatter the "stigma" surrounding solo , hailing it as "one of the best".
The trend for solitary pub visits is gaining traction on /X, with individuals venturing out to their local pubs alone for a beverage.
Social media user @HarryAFC86 has sparked a conversation with his lone Stella Artois, insisting that the taboo of drinking solo "needs to be broken." He tweeted: "Stigma behind having a pint on your own needs to be broken."
The sentiment resonated with many, and although some argue there's no stigma in enjoying a drink by oneself, Harry contends it exists because it's not as widely accepted as it ought to be.
One commenter expressed their love for solo pints, saying: "There's not stigma fella, love a pint on my own in the summer, sat outside a London pub people watching." However, Harry countered: "I'd say there is, it's not really the done thing and there's defo people that judge, not that I care tho."
