Why do people drink alcohol?

I am just wondering, why do people drink alcohol?
If you are a regular alcohol drinker can you please tell me why you drink? and how does it make you feel?
thanks.

i used to drink to get smashed and only for that reason.
now i drink about every night, but not to get drunk all the time. 90% of the time im just enjoying the taste. im a big fan of trying new brands of alcohol ive never had before. having sangria (sp?) red wine mix tonight. its not bad, a little tart but not bad. been on a beer thing lately just thought this would be a nice change for the night.

I don't drink to escape, when I used to smoke weed I used to never smoke when I was upset or anything because it was such a waste, it would make me feel like shit, I can only really get fumed up if I'm in a good mood, if I'm planning on catching a buzz itl be as a reward or I just wanna get fucked up cause I'm bored, but I won't if I'm upset or frustrated.
Mxe was the only thing I would've been able to use if I was frustrated because it really lifts your over all mood even afterwards.

Idk I've never wanted to fuck a fat chick when I was drunk, my standards don't get any lower. Now on amphetamines it's a diff story, I'll sleep with anyone. Same with benzo's but I won't remember it anyway and I actually have a tendency to land a good looking chick on those anyway.

Assuming they're of age where they're drinking then it's probably because it's legal and easy to obtain There's about 7 liquor stores within a 10 minute drive from my house and they're open every day When I was not of legal age I drank because I felt the need to be rebellious for some idiotic teenager reason and as soon as I was of age I stopped because there was no thrill anymore

I mean, you may observe that it's someone less attractive, but your horniness just makes it out to be something extra kinky cause it is nastier.

Yes.
My limit is 3/10 on a scale of "barely can walk" drunk.
At this point, I can even compensate an amputated limb, or three. I was always able to see inner beauty.
Obviously, this becomes easier with an amputee.

Yea but you get hornier 
As for the real question, People like the buzz just like not everyone has the same favorite food. I like the taste of most types of spirits, but whiskey (scotch,rye, and bourbon), tequila, and gin most of all, by far. And I love beer more than them. Just like once you drink coffee you can taste the difference between folgers and fresh ground primo stuff, beer (and other alcohol) has many, many flavors. Chocolate milk oatmeal stout? You got it. Wanna pucker? Have a sour ale.

I drink because I've got a good liver and because I'm hanging out in a dimly lit studio on a saturday night painting a child friendly mural on a tight deadline and it all just feels more edgy and artsy with a glass of wine in my hand.

Yeah, me neither.

no but amphetamines do crazy things to my libido, mdma however, has usually ended with me cuddling with a cat or laying on the floor inside of a huge blanket and sometimes platonically cuddling other people. But usually cats.

I don't drink alcohol OP because I don't like it.
However most people drink Alochol for the same reason people consume drugs in general, it makes them feel good. Warm, fuzzy, uninhibited, etc.
Alcohol is nasty on the body. It's hepatoxic (damages the liver), cardiotoxic (damages the heart), nerphrotoxic (damages the kidneys) and neurotoxic (permanently destroys areas of the brain). When you consider that you can get a very similar high from GHB at the appropriate dosage without any of the negative side health effects it makes the consumption of Alcohol seem silly.
I encourage you to beware those that consume alcohol in public. In order to make the choice to drink in public you're basically saying "I don't give a shit about the safety of the people around me, it's someone else's problem"... anyone who thinks this way is bad news, avoid them.

Slows everything down and makes it better. Imagine a depressed brain sitting in a skull and it's ripped out by a long armed entity called alcohol. While it's ripped out it's other hand is also massaging your back in all the right places.
Or to get drunk around other drunk people to bone them

I don't drink alcohol OP because I don't like it.
However most people drink Alochol for the same reason people consume drugs in general, it makes them feel good. Warm, fuzzy, uninhibited, etc.
Alcohol is nasty on the body. It's hepatoxic (damages the liver), cardiotoxic (damages the heart), nerphrotoxic (damages the kidneys) and neurotoxic (permanently destroys areas of the brain). When you consider that you can get a very similar high from GHB at the appropriate dosage without any of the negative side health effects it makes the consumption of Alcohol seem silly.
I encourage you to beware those that consume alcohol in public. In order to make the choice to drink in public you're basically saying "I don't give a shit about the safety of the people around me, it's someone else's problem"... anyone who thinks this way is bad news, avoid them.
You're going to have to back up your statement that GHB isn't neurotoxic.

Uhh, your gonna have to back up your statement that is is? Good luck with that by the way.
GHB is superior to alcohol in every way IMO suuuch a better buzz, and it's relatively harmless in comparison.

 It's widely known that GHB isn't neurotoxic.
IIRC saying it's cardiotoxic is somewhat misleading. It does weaken the muscles (as it does every other muscle) but its somewhat of a protectant while it's in your bloodstream. Any GABA drug has somewhat similar neuroprotectant properties, too, just because GABA (what GHB, alc, benzos release) is a neuroprotectant.

It's neurotoxic in rats, are there any studies that show that it isn't neurotoxic in humans?

I was a regular drinker for a LONG time and it took me many years to really come to terms with the fact that it ain't all it's cracked up to be. It has many multi million dollar ad campaigns behind it to make you think it's the cat's pajamas, but in reality I don't like the way much of it makes me feel. I'll have a beer or 2 on occasion, but even if I have 2 or 3, I'll feel way lower energy and less patient and stuff the next day. Those are both extremely negative things in my book. Not what I need in my life.
Not to say I won't drink these days. Hell I'll even get drunk on a rare occasion. It's just WAY less frequently than it used to be when I used to buy the hype.

I drink to kill the pain, whether it be physical or emotional. I also drink when i'm out of benzos apparently. i'd much rather have a steady supply of opiates and reliable benzos. I think and talk too much. these sedative/hypnotics help me be socially normal and allow me to sleep. I've had sleep issues since I was 2 years old, probably earlier.

If you don't alcohol that's fine but this is a ridiculous baseless claim.

It's not a baseless claim at all.
In a society it is the responsibility of its constituent members to look out for the well being and safety of those around them. Everybody needs to chip in. Think about driving for instance, we all have lapses in judgement now and then but so long as at least one driver is paying attention a collision is unlikely.
Public places are absolutely ridden with hazards. Violent people, broken glass, cars, wildlife and people that just aren't paying attention. It is therefore a collective effort to stay safe. If you see someone about to step on a piece of glass you warn them, if you see a small child about to walk out in front of a car, you grab them and they do the same for you.
Alcohol on the other hand significantly reduces good judgment, reflexes and awareness if favor of hedonistic pleasure. You become ignorant of dangers both to you and the people around you. Because of this the people around you (those than aren't intoxicated) have to look out for your retarded ass because you've forfeited this ability out of pure selfishness.
Not only are you no longer helping to protect yourself and those around you from hazards, but you can actually become one. Not paying attention you may wonder out in front of a moving car and endanger both yourself and the motorist, or get overly upset and violent with someone, maybe accidentally breaking some glass that another poor bastard will step on.
When you're in public you have responsibilities. By choosing to drink in public you're ignoring these responsibilities and this scream volumes about your character (i.e. this person is a self absorbed, uncaring, hedonistic piece of shit that sponges off the good decisions of others)
Private alcohol consumption is an entirely different story as all participants are aware of the collective inebriation and can and should take steps to minimize harm. Trip sitters are a good example of this while using psychedelics.
I'm not saying you shouldn't drink in public, or that it can't be fun. I'm saying that if you know someone who does you should avoid them as they are inadvertently demonstrating the worst possible character traits a human can possess when they do.
