yeah it's kind of crazy that it's a rite of passage for 21 year olds to drink until they black out, and hopefully get so drunk that it's possible people could die from the stupidity, is still so prevalent in our culture, but whatever.
Drinking is good sometimes for dancing, helps induce ecstatic trance states, but there is no need to be harmful to yourself, and possibly others for the sake of a modern outdated ritual.

Alcohol sucks. It gives me a headache and makes me feel like shit almost every time I drink it. I can drink a nice glass of organic sulfite-free red wine every now and then.. and I do enjoy the occasional stout or really good microbrew. But I can only drink in moderation. 1 or 2, maybe 3 drinks and I'm done with it, I never go over my limit anymore. Maybe it was from abusing it way too much too quickly when I was young, but by the time I was of legal age to drink, I had pretty much sworn off getting "wasted". I hate the feeling of being sloppy drunk, I hate how it makes me feel, I hate how dehydrated it makes me, how much it hurts the fuck out of my liver and how my body punishes me for it, I also don't really like being around other completely wasted people. Alcohol is a poison, and my body knows it.
I hate how every time you go somewhere, people want to get drunk, then when you turn down alcohol they give you weird looks even if they don't say anything. There's this huge social stigma that you have to drink alcohol to be "cool" or something, fuck that. If I drink at all it's for the taste first and foremost and then for the mild buzz it may give me, but for me that's what.. 3 times a year that I drink or some shit.
Some people love it and more power to them but I can't really stand the stuff.... only in extreme moderation.

That's how to roll 
Me and my lady do love to try out different wines on the weekends, though it's just us at home making dinner. Being cool is a state of mind, not an obligation.

I didn't drink nor smoke/ingested anything on 21st birthday. Just spent the whole day revising for exams  My gf gave me a decent present though 
lol whats up with all the hatred towards alcohol 
Personally I think its a drug for the slowtards which is what 90% of my friends are I seriously can't stand my lame classmate making arguments out of his ass on how good alcohol is and how evil and malignant every other drug is.

It's just completely not worth it. It's such an empty and unpleasant high. Disgusting to get there, uncomfortable when you arrive.
There's some delicious beer in the world. That's about all alcohol is good for in my opinion

Im in it for the taste not the high which as you said is pretty pathetic. I love a cold pint in a hot summer day or a glass of wine to go along with a fancy meal.
If I wanted to lower my inhibitions I'd just pop a benzo

Well I gotta give some credit to alcohol consumption. My early love life has been fuelled by drunkenness and I guess thats about it.

Indeed. It offers nothing to me. It destroys my body and doesn't give me any kind of insight or consciousness expansion. Rather the opposite.
Pointless. I can see why the masses drown their sorrow and fear in it though I guess.

I actually feel good about myself if I down a pint in one go when I'm thirsty as fuck. The problem is that then I want another one down and so a positive feedback loop is established till I collapse covered in my semi-digested lunch lying under the table 
And yeah there is no enlightenment but the opposite as propensity pointed out. I think thats one of the reasons why its legal. I mean one gotta be fucking stoopid to say alcohol is less malignant than a lot of other drugs. But all in all it keeps the eyes of the masses closed thus making them easier to control.
Fuck you society, you and your ways

It's not alcohol hate! I LOVE wine, and a tasty beer every now and again. I just don't see the appeal in getting so 'twisted' that you black out and get pregnant.
(protip: I get pregnant a lot)

Once you start to become an alcoholic the negative effects really diminish. Right after I turned 21 I could drink a twelve pack and go to class the next day with not even a hangover. Of course, it says a lot when your body has adapted to feeling like shit all the time.
Alcohol has its place but like everything, in moderation.
