I think you're looking at the "don't drink alone" the wrong way. I think it means that if you drink alone it's much more likely to become a habit and in turn become a problem than if you just drink with others
Which episode is this screenshot from?
Birthright. Part 1.
I honestly can't remember. I just came across this frame and thought it deserved a caption.
I don't drink anymore, but I have some great memories of snuggling up with my cat and some vodka to binge DS9 and play Witcher 3.
