I've done it too and never got depressed or sad.. sick yes, and dizzy and sleepy. I don't drink much but I actually prefer drinking alone when I do because I don't want to do anything stupid I would regret later.

I'm not actually sure why it's considered depressing, but it IS usually considered a sign of alcoholism because it gives off the impression you're hiding it from other people.
One would think that feeding negative feelings with any substance is probably habit forming so long as those negative feelings persist.

Don't hate my rig, there's nothing quite like the classics.
Sometimes I drink alone. I don't really see the problem. I'm generally on board with definitions of drinking problems that revolve around whether there's actually any consequence to the behavior. If I have a couple more beers than I really should while watching football on a Sunday, nothing bad happens.
