I don't know, is it really more fun to drink, or can you have just as much fun being sober?

foregt sorrow, for alot of people i don't think it would be healthy to drink if you have sorrow in your life, it magnifies the sorrow i believe, which would not be a good thing.

u can say, but the effect of alchohol on brain cells make them lazy and they need more oxygen to be supplied to brain to wakeup.. in 99.9999% case people feel sleepy, try it alone not in group, coz in group due to ego no one wants to say that m feeling sleepy.. what say?

People get drunk for many reasons. Some people get drunk to drink away all of their worries. Some people get drunk because it is easier for them to socialize on it and let loose. Some people get drunk to attract friends. There are many reasons. There isn't anything wrong with doing it, as long as you stay home.

So is being drunk attractive in any way? Does it actually attract friends?

I think different people get drunk for different reasons. Some peopple get drunk to 'make the world go away'. Others get drunk to have a good time. Although, I can't see how anyone can enjoy being drunk. And others get drunk because they don't know how to drink.

I think you can have more fun sober because you are in complete control of yourself. If you are drunk you may lose control and do something you regret, but you never have to worry about that when you are sober.

I think you can have fun both ways. But the kind of fun you generally have when you're drunk is more of a stupid fun. As in absolutely anything is funny. Keep in mind this only works if you're a happy drunk and not everyone is.
