It's hard to tell from Daryl's tone in general whether or not he's teasing, but yeah, that was an attempt at a joke. Even for him, it's flatter than usual, but he sets the bottle on the edge of the desk.
"Probably been picked clean."
But they can make a go of it. He tips his head to the side, just a little. Going on a wild goose chase is probably a smarter move than drinking alone; he just doesn't want Aaron doing something for his sake, or to keep up appearances. Sometimes drinking alone in a basement is the way to go. Whatever'll keep him together the next day.
