What is the main reason you/people drink alcohol?!
Answers: I'm interested to know... I've been asking around, and I have not gotten very good answers... what's yours?
Its a form of escapism. People drink alcohol to excess on weekends etc to help them temporarily forget about how rubbish their life is but then they have to deal with it in the morning as well as having a stinking hangover.
I havent drunk alcohol in almost 2 years and have no intention of doing so. Dont need a horrible substance like that to blot out the harsh realities of my life. I just deal with them , instead of hiding behind the bottle!
Some people think they have to get as much in there as they can and some people like to slowly sip the spirits and watch the ripples in the glass.
It gives me a confidence boost. I generally have quite low self-esteem, but it gives me the confidence to come out of my shell a bit - talk to guys etc.
After a few wines, I feel like Beyonce! lol. I enjoy the feel good factor it gives me, and me and my girls always have good times! (shame we can never remember them!)
To get your drunk on.
The Japanese say first the man takes a drink. Then the drink takes a drink. Then the drink takes the man.
Confidence, my fat white ****.
Because life is a continued state of boredom.
Because I like the feeling when I get drunk. It's liberating to be able to dance like a maniac and not care! :D
Unfortunately as time passes and my tolerance builds up it becomes harder and more expensive to reach that stage and it doesnt even last as long.. shame.. :(
But yea I guess its just because it's such an excellent social lubricant.. some ppl are just physically addicted however which sucks for them.. btw fact: alcohol is one of the few physically addictive drugs.. you can die from withdrawal if your a chronic abuser unlike the misconception that you can die from heroin withdrawal for example. So yea drink responsibly ppl and rock on!
Because I enjoy it, it loosens me up and is a good wind-down from a long and tense week.
It's not just the alcohol ingestion, but usually when alcohol is involved, I'm in a social setting with my friends and really, it's the whole experience that makes it fun. Although I've enjoyed wine with dinner and a beer in the evening while watching tv too.
Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy

As you've particularly used the term "reason of drinking" then I'm not going to describe the so many cultures, race, societies where 'drinking' is part of their eating items. They don't find or do not need reasons since their great great grandfathers are having drinks.
To come to your point i.e. reason of drinking, I'm going to mention few:
1) Mixing with bad friends & keeping relations with already addicted guys, sometimes you might be too curious to get the taste of alcohol. That's the begining, dear! :-(
2) Some stupids see others drinking---so they think they also need drinking!
3) Some fools watch movie & watch the Hero's drinking when hero's heart broke(!) huh huh huh ....so those fool take it as the remedy of so-called broken-heart-solution:-)
4) Sometimes Doctors advise to drink moderate alcohol especially when they need thin blood (Heart-case). Truly speaking, red wine is good for heart. But the sad thing is this, many of them increase the limit of alcohol & become addicted.
5) Tasting anything by anyone doesn't need any reason, that's another point of drinking! :-)
because it's fun
its tastes good
well ... 2 have fun ... n ofcors 2 have sum oda taste dat u usually dnt have daily...
Because I want to. So may people today feel this is not a good excuse because it goes against their belief system or some wish to simply control others in what they do and what they think. As long as someone's tastes or habits are not interfering with others.
What's wrong with?
Because I want to!
I love my Midori and Baileys which are yummy and sometimes after a hard days work you just need a drink to wind down. Wine is the best for that.
I simply like the taste. A good bourbon, scotch, or beer can be as enjoyable as the finest meal. I would still drink it even if it didn't have the inebriating effects! Tho, that is sometimes a bonus as well...
