It never fails to amaze me when people tell me that they drink so much they get inebriated. Why do people feel that it is necessary to drink alcohol in order to have a good time?
Every time I attend a social event where there is alcohol there is most likely problems to be had. These people get behind the wheel of a car and drive themselves and others home. Too many times I have seen anger erupt and fights happen.
I do not feel it necessary to consume alcoholic beverages in order to have a good time.

I will have one drink, sometimes two, but they are spaced far apart. I do not like that feeling of not being in control.

Those that drink in excess will have to pay the price of a hangover later on.

I think that there a lot of people in the world, that are empty, that don't know yet the real life import, so a lot of people try to do anythings, to forget or to fill this empty space.
The people must know the beatfull things of life, as see the smile of a child, or see the valeys below, in the mountain top.
The world and the life has a lot of wonderfull things, that the giant part of the people don't know, the life is wonderfull and must be used for wonderfull things.
I say for the people that have adictions: try see the beatfull things in this world.
Congratulations Elusive, by this great discussion and have a nice day.

you are right to an extent but dont u think to have a good time u need to forget all the tensions in ur life and i think its required, so for that they drink ....but at the same time situations arries that compleatly spoils everything....but it all on us how do we carry ourselves......we might end up spoilling everything and we might have a good time .....in short if u drink then make sure can carry it well otherwise ur spoilling ur own image ..........

if u ask them , most people will say mainly two reasons
1. time pass
2. to come out from their worries/problems
U know both these things does not require alchohol .
because by taking alchohol they are bringing one more worry in their life. they forget to think that .
by the by will u drink . if so ? wht's your favorite drink? do not say milk , i am asking soft drinks , (hot)

I've only been drunk a few times. I can't count the times on my both my hands. I didn't start to drink socially until I was 23. On and off at that time. I don't have to drink to have a good time. But on occassion I do like to have a mixed drink.

I just went to a new years eve party and I used to like to go to these parties and drink...not till I was drunk, but enough to "loosen" me up. However, the other night when I went I just didn't want to. I am a mommy now, and even though I had an all night babysitter..I felt it was my responsibility to stay sober and safe. I guess having a child has helped me in growing up a bit! ;)

i think they like to drink so that after getting drunk their inhibitions will be removed and they can just let go. do anything they want and act like crazy in front of other people. but some also drink to wallow their problems and forget about them even for just a while.
just drink moderately and if you're going to do the driving then stop drinking and take some hot water before going home to prevent accidents you dont want. regrets are always realized in the next day LOL
