Why do people drink?

Why do people drink alcohol?

  • I have a lot of friends that drink and pretty much everyone I know drinks. And I don't, I've never drank, I just don't understand why someone would want to try to drink something that obviously doesn't taste good the first few times. Why would u want to drink something u have to get used to? You obviously aren't doing it for the taste when u start. Idk, I know I want to be sober for life because I hate the idea of alcohol and I just don't get why people do it. I assume most of the reason why is to be socially accepted, but i just don't know.

  • Answer:

    I am a social drink and prefer red wine over liquor. A few drink can loosen up a person. I love the feeling of having little buzz. Make people more friendly and fun. I like how it taste so i don't need to "get used to" If you don't like drinking then don't drink.

Personally, I think beer is delicious. I've always liked the taste of it. I don't like liquor (it tastes awful) and I don't like getting drunk...I have a fear of throwing up...but it's nice to relax and loosen up with a couple drinks now and then. I just had a beer while cleaning my room and it really helped with my back pain. ;) There is nothing morally wrong with having a beverage or two every once in a while provided you don't turn into a sloppy, douchey mess. :)

well people drink because alcohol kinda brings people together. even though it tastes bad people just drink it to feel good you know? i mean like why do you do a little dance after you do something awesome when you know its embarrasing? its just a makes people feel good. im not an alcoholic and im too young to drink but from just watching my family alcohol just loosens people up.

i drink it because i love it and drink to get drunk, even tho im a loner with asperger's syndrome because i HATE being sober and alcoholism runs in my genetics and i think the taste of beer never bothered me lol i tried it for the first time at around age 4 and i liked it! :) people have said to me that i have a problem with alcohol and am an alcoholic but i still drink and get drunk (alone more than socially and when im at the bar i go alone and only start talking to people once im tipsy (i blackout lots as well, EVERY TIME i get drunk) also several generations in my family are alcoholics, i have no real friends but that wont stop me from getting drunk :) i also hide lots of my beers and sometimes liquor bottles in my basement and drink out of my dads liquor cabinet ETC, i have driven drunk over 30 times easily and a few weeks ago when i was drunk the police gave me a ride home (twice in two months) i wasn't arrested or anything lol, but i also drink to get drunk and HATE being sober! i also try to sell things just so i can drink more (secretly which i do lots) my personality also changes quite a bit when im drunk but i like my drunk self better! i think it really does show who you REALLY are whether im depressed when i get drunk or in a silly i dont give a **** about life mood, im not at all ambitious or have no plans for my future (im 21, male almost 22) been drinking for four years, im also on a tight budget i work part time and can only spend 40 dollars a week but i spend ALL of it on booze and more than 40 dollars all on booze lol, so yes i have a drinking problem, my dad said to me i would hate to lose you from drinking but im still drinking/getting drunk, i also have asperger's syndrome and obsessive compulsive disorder/addictive personality, although recently i have felt both cheerful and depressed every time i get drunk and have imagined faces looking at me after drinking and my hands do shake a little as well sometimes so i dont know how im going to get more drinks but i WILL somehow! hahaha :) i also think/talk about alcohol a lot at wrok with co-workers i talk about it a lot down they're necks ETC, and im obsessed over alcohol! even co-workers have called me an alcoholic
