Dunno about other people, but I do it to loosen up and be more relaxed with my friends.  I only do it as a social thing, and I can honestly say I've never gotten drunk.  I have my limits to how much I'll drink, because I don't want to get *drunk*, I want to just get the buzz.

because its fun.  I drink just the right amount to get drunk.  I don't get so drunk that I don't remember anything the next day, thats dangerous.

A bit of alcohol every day is supposed to have medicinal qualities:  it is supposed to help thin the blood, allowing less strenuous circulation for people with weak hearts.

That's what I've heard, and I'll choose to believe it because it legitimizes booze!

It's also fun.  Isn't happiness the bottom line of human achievement?

Drinking is straight-up poison...I mean, that's literally what it is so I can't really say WHY people want to drink.

Please...so is every pill you've ever taken.  So is every soft drink you've ever drunk.  So is every cosmetic you've ever put on your skin.

Good thing our bodies have ways of dealing with "poison," huh?

Hey!  Where are we going?  And why am I in this handbasket??

Drinking is bad.
Drinking makes you an Alcholic.
Drinking is vial.
Drinking is an excuse.
Bla Bla Bla

I try to live my life to the fullest.  A day where at some point during that day I honestly believe I could have died is a great day.  I have no plans about growing old and living long, I just want to live a full life and experience as many things as possible.  Beer is a pleasure, and frees you from your inhabitations.  I can dance with out fear of embarrassment, have the courage to get that girls number that I always liked, or just do something stupid that creates a great story.

I love anything that makes me feel more alive.  If you don’t drink because of Laws or health reasons, really are you living a life that you can be proud of when you are on your death bed?  I plan on having no regrets on my death bed, knowing I did everything I wanted, knowing that I have learned not to fear death itself. To be happy about my life on my death bed, I have to know that I lived life not scared of it.

Exactly. I know this. I drink. lol....I guess my point was that there is not really a BENEFIT to drinking. You know? I mean, pills are poison, but sometimes they can't be avoided because they are the only treatment for certain things. As for Chocolate, Soda, and the air we breathe they are poison too, but I don't think I could do without some candy here and there let alone live without air.
