I guess I don't understand the big deal with getting drunk all of the time. It's okay to cut loose once in a while but I know people that do it all the time. I'm not saying I have never been drunk in my life. I certainly have and still enjoy throwing a few back now and then. But doesn't there come a time in your life that you should grow up and realize that there are better things in life and that drinking like that all of the time just makes you look foolish. I don't even want to be around people who drink all the time. They can get really annoying sometimes. Why does anyone want to be that out of control of their brain all the time? Just curious what others think is the big deal about it. There is a line between doing it now and then to have a good time, but it can't be possible to be fun all the time when you do it every night.

People are basically immature. It is easier to do irresponsible things and make excuses than to always make the mature decision and be responsible.

Yes, that is true to a point, but there are people who do it on a constant basis even when they are older. My mom can't go anywhere unless she can drink. That means that if there is no drinking at the place she is going, she won't stay very long.

That's why it is called immature and irresponsible behavior because those people who are old enough to know better chose not to do better.

I guess that is what makes everyone different. Some people grow up and stop doing that once they're out of college. I know I did (although I have had one or two episodes recently that I'm not too proud of). Others may not stop doing that for years.
I have a female friend that lives in Vegas. She is in her 40s, and she still spends all her weekends in clubs, dancing and drinking until almost sun-up. I don't know how she does it. She's the only one in our former girls group that still goes out like that.
We go out a lot, but it is for things like a nice dinner and a show, or something a little more sophisticated and grown-up.
But, like I said before, everyone is different. To each his own, and all that jazz. If you don't want to hang out with people like that, maybe it is time you found some friends who are on the same page as you!
It makes a huge difference!

I don't have a lot of close friends and the is one of the reasons. I am a loner anyway. I have to hang out with my family though haha... I sometimes would love to replace some of them but not really, I love them all and it wouldn't do me much good to try to deny that fact. I do know some people that do those things though and it just makes me scratch my head. It's worse when the person is a whiner too, then when they are drunk, well, they whine even more.

It's easy to get addicted to the escape from reality. When I get drunk, I giggle a lot and it's nothing but fun, funny stuff. I would like to get drunk more often. It is a good time but I wouldn't ever do it that often that I do it all the time every week and stuff.

People who get drunk frequently are people who had many problems.
Sometimes they just want to drink to forget their problems. They
are the people who has no plans for the future. Their life is taking
a spiral dive below. They are out of control and they need help more
they are ready to admit.

I suppose. I can see why it's attractive to young people cause they don't know any better. I did that when I was younger, but I guess to each his own.

I think that drinking in moderation once in a while is fine. I don't know why anyone would want to get drunk on a regular basis, tough. I know a lot of people that do it, but I just don't get it. If I drink too much, even if I don't drink enough to get sick, I still feel nauseous and don't really want to do anything the next day. I can't imagine wanting to feel like that on a daily basis. I guess I might get used to it over time, but I don't know why I would want to go through that.
