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

I don't either. But when I'm out with friends, it helps me loosen the goose if you will.
When I first started doing coke, it was fun and I could enjoy myself on it.
Nowadays, I just get really pissed off. Ha

Honestly, I'm not too awful big on cocaine. As a stimulant, it's a waste of money. If I wanted to get up, I'd spend half as much on some form of amphetamine and stay up twice as long.

cocaine changes forms to a more potent 'cocaethonal' when alcohol is present in the body.
It makes coke last three times as long and more euphoric.

Regarding the OP, i find the sedating effect depends heavily on the amount of alcohol you take.
First, it loosens you up, there theres a excited state of energy aand talking loud then later you start getting tipsy then even later you start getting slow and want to pass out.
Alcohol is weird in the sense that it "takes over" and you are along for the ride. Thats where u see like alternative personalities of a person whos nice while sober, and a fuckin dick while drunk. And vice versa.
Can definitely get dissocaited at higher doses where you are detached and totally shit faced and have no control over yourself.

I can definitely get why people like alcohol. It just ain't my thing.
Hell, back when my Pawpaw was in better shape, we made a fuckton of whiskey. Our livelihood depended on people's desire to drink. So I get it. But, fuck, there's just so many better drugs out there.

Depends on the spirit.
Wine has me emotional and slithering all over the floor trying to weave my way into everything.
Scotch goads me into having god head, I feel so pure and clean and do as I please. Which, depending on the environment, can be very good or very bad!

Alcohol is considered a party drug because for most people it makes them more social and more likely to dance and let loose. When you said "Can't hold an intelligent conversation" your obviously talking about the extreme cases when someone is shit faced. In that scenario it's not a party drug but most people who drink and go out will only have 3 to 5 drinks which just helps them let loose.

Alcohol almost always makes me sick and hung over, even 1-2 drinks can have me throwing up till 2 pm the next day... I don't normally drink when I go out, but for me it's a social thing I guess.

Is kava kava a party drug? Or do people drink it then sit around a fire enjoying good times.
I like using alcohol to chill out around close friends or with close friends and other people who I might not know as well. I don't like the whole loud music, people standing up dancing the entire time environment. I like the.. lets sit around and drink and do shit to nothing environment. That's just me tho... You know.. not as many people.. nice airconditioning.. a couch... what ever.. just lazy as fuck ya know. lol.

Lord jesus christ seriously. Someone fucking had to say it. Dont get me wrong, I drink here and there, but I openly acknolwedge the fact that it is not healthy at all. I would venture to say it is more descrutive than opiates in many ways. IMO amps and alc are the worst for my health but thats just experience

The dose makes the poison, a bit of alcohol gets your blood flowing and your heart strong.
I recall a show featuring a centennial who began his day with 2 pints of beer.

I totally agree. I came off a week + binge and only had problems sleeping (not uncommon for me).
Alcohol gives me the DT's and I feel like death and seizures for 5 + days.
I also don't feel sick and disgusting the next day after I do G like I do liquor.
No comparison.

So true.
Its hard to party when youre paranoid about getting arrested.
Makes u wonder...what if all drugs were legal and sold in stores. Would alcohol still be King of party drugs?
I think it still might....

Well that's dose dependent.
A bit of alcohol to loosen the vocal chords and the mind for a bit of intelligent banter is not unheard of.
While one person is a blathering leper, another may be the most reasonable speaker in the room.

Will likely result in death? Or has a chance to?
If not properly treated - yes - most likely. Delirium tremors and grand mal seizures as a result of GABA drug abuse is no joke.
I'm skeptical of this claim. Can you link any studies showing that death is more likely than not in untreated alcohol withdrawal?

Look it up mate, that shit's been known for decades by science, and for centuries by people in general.
Like, you can google shit if you're skeptical, and then draw your own conclusions based on what you have read, which you can share to add to the discussion...

What has, that death can occur from alcohol withdrawal or that it occurs more than half the time? Traditionally in a debate the person who makes a claim is the one who provides the evidence for it.

I've already looked for evidence the the rate is that high and didn't find it. That's why I'm asking him for his source. If you don't have a source for it either, I'll wait for the person I was actually speaking to to respond.

I don't care about death from alcohol withdrawal anyway, but on this webzone people just keep on asking for "evidence" or some shit while google is right there in the corner!
And when some poor sob does go through all the trouble of posting his findings neatly and organized, he gets ignored anyway and two pages later the whole thing starts again.
 So just use google mate.

Let me spell it out for you: I can find no evidence that the death rate is that high. So that's why I asked what his source was.

I dunno, it doesn't sound very appealing from what you describe.
Anyway, this is what I found in a preliminary search:
Quote:
Although seemingly benign, alcohol withdrawal seizures left untreated progress to delirium tremens in nearly one-third of patients
Quote:
Approximately 5 percent of patients who undergo withdrawal from alcohol suffer from DT.
Quote:
Mortality — DT is associated with a mortality rate of up to 5 percent. This figure has diminished from a 37 percent mortality rate reported in the early 20th century, probably as a result of earlier diagnosis, improvements in supportive and pharmacologic therapies, and improved treatment of comorbid illnesses [2,22-26].
http://www.uptodate.com/contents/management-of-moderate-and-severe-alcohol-withdrawal-syndromes
So in cases where there was delirium tremens it looks like it was in the general ballpark of 50% mortality rate without modern treatments (though obviously this does not directly tell us what it would be with no treatment at all,) but delirium tremens itself doesn't always happen in withdrawal. Not sure about non-DT deaths as I did not see this mentioned. If mild cases of alcohol withdrawal are included (he didn't limit his statement to severe cases, just any cold-turkey withdrawal,) I don't see how overall mortality could be anywhere near the majority of cases. But maybe I'm wrong and there is some reliable source stating otherwise, which is why I asked.
Anyway I gotta head out but I will be back on later.

edit: doh >.< just saw your other post
oh well, was in another tab
hah, would have helped if delirium tremens was spelled properly
there's a wiki on it; it says currently, death occurs in 1-4% of cases
you have to keep in mind though, most alcoholics have it happen more than once
which is why it is fatal when untreated in 35% of people
though only 5-10% of alcoholics get the DT's

She dyes her hair preferably in the most unnatural color possible. She wears lots of makeup and draws her eyebrows the way she likes it. When she zips by on her moped the men of Den Bosch say: "Looking good cunt!" Cuntbeer is an ode to her and the pearl of the Den Bosch dialect.
