why is alcohol seen as a party drug?

It's just a depressant, sedates you, takes away inhibitions, but you also feel so slow, can't hold an intelligent conversation anymore and you just come across as an idiot to ppl who are not drunk. I've never understood the appeal of alcohol so I may be biased.

Just depends on how you define "partying".
I don't know what to say. Other than, because it's the ultimate party drug.
Makes everyone loose, takes us out of our everyday thoughts and allows us to act a fool.

well I'm probably biased but I never really enjoyed alcohol. I often go drinking with friends but I only drink because that's what's expected socially and it's boring if you're sober while your friends are not. It doesn't give me any euphoria though and while it does remove inhibitions it never helped me to overcome my 'approach anxiety' when it comes to talking to girls because I know I'll make a fool of myself and probably would've a better chance when sober. I have discovered my strength when it comes to picking up girls is just talking to them in a bar and getting to know them, but in a club setting, where non verbal communication is so vital I just don't feel comfortable there and alcohol didn't help me while it may have helped others maybe that's why I became biased.

I'll drink alcohol just to get trashed. If I want to open up and be more social I just take my medication as prescribed.

Alcohol is ubiquitous, its use dates back 12,000 years and for many cultures in antiquity it was if not the only known way to get high, certainly the easiest and most readily available. So for many cultures, their festivals, rituals and even some aspects of their religion were centered around or at least developed in the presence of alcohol. Thus, cultural history and tradition secure this relatively dangerous dissociative's position as the culturally acceptable inebriate of choice for social hour. Dionysus commands you to party.

It's such a toxic drug though. I purposely drink almost nothing - perhaps a cider when out with friends every now and then. Alcohol kills brain cells and kills your liver. It's quite neurotoxic. High addictive, and cold turkey withdrawals will likely result in death. Yet people go crazy about marijuana and MDMA.

I'm not Michaelangelo, so parties are not something I look forward to.
Some time ago I had one which among people featured my dad. I snuck away twice to rectally administer 15mg of MXE, and of course didnt drink. (I drink only very few glasses a month) I was right on top of the party, outgoing and joyful, and it helped catalyze others being more lively also. After the party my dad said "I don't know what you took and if its good for you, but you were at your best, I never seen you like this at a party."
Higher doses draw me deeper into myself though and then I want to be alone.
A low dose of MXE though, 5-15mg oral or rectal, is superb, it almost obliterates your inhibitions and imparts euphoria.

If not properly treated - yes - most likely. Delirium tremors and grand mal seizures as a result of GABA drug abuse is no joke.

Depends on the dose. In Russia they grade alcoholics by whether thery drink 1,2,3 or 4 bottles of vodka a day. Yes, such alcoholism can be quite lethal if you quit it cold turkey. You'd slip into DT and die.

I'm not a big fan of powder, but freebase definitely falls in the "party drug" category for me.
I don't really like alcohol, though. So
