This Valentine's shirt by Social Decay lets people know how you really feel about the romantic holiday.

When you're single on [Valentine's Day](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-day-capsule-collection), it's easy to get discouraged. After all, we're constantly told that being in love and paired up is the ultimate end goal for our lives. However, sometimes the stars simply just aren't aligning, and we're left alone on February 14th. Well, not exactly, because as long as vodka is around, no one is truly alone. It's a [spirit-friend](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-brewers-coalition) for those in need!

In fact, I would even go as far as to say that [vodka makes the perfect valentine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tipsy-cupid): it's cheap, doesn't require anything in return and has no expectations of you. What's not to love?
