Personally I like my daily glass of red wine to calm the transition between work and home as well as help my digestive process as suggested my my GI doc.
I also like to go out with friends and since I live such an uptight life the alcohol relaxes me enough to have a good time and relieve worries and stress.
I almost think that the moderate amount of alcohol I consume actually helps my mental and emotional state.
This is why I drink, why do you?
BTW... I am not asking why you DON'T drink, or what bad things can happen....if you respond with these answers these will be reported as not an answer.

Small amounts or even moderate amounts of ethanol can make people feel happy for a few hours. Its calming and relaxing. Also, small amounts ARE actually good for you. Too much leads to health problems and other life problems. Everyone is familiar with unpleasant drunks, many from having them as family members.

I am with you all the way. I drink a couple of glasses at night - red wine most all the time - and occasionally sip on some Jack Daniels or Scotch. All of the positive benefits are there. Too much is harmful, to be sure, but I've learned that it was no accident that the first miracle performed by our lord Jesus Christ was turning water into wine at the marriage feast in Canaan.

Like you I enjoy one or two glasses of wine or a mixed drink, but I don't drink every day. I see alcohol (beer included) as a compliment to the meal I am consuming that enhances its taste. I also like to have a fruity mixed drink instead of dessert from time to time.It is relaxing, and if you can afford it and don't have a weight problem(or liver problems), I don't think there is anything wrong with it. Cheers!

I like to drink cause it helps calm me down from all of the stress during the work week. I also like to start drinking before I go into a club cause it makes the experience a whole lot better rather than walking in sober.

To loosen up a little and unwind after a long day. Also, to enjoy the night with friends. I don't go out to get silly drunk much anymore, but just to get a little buzzed to make the night even more interesting. Once in awhile, I'll get really silly drunk though with trusted friends when life gets too stressful and just want to let loose.

i drink because sometimes it helps me calm down. at other times it just put me in a silly state of mind. it's a form of reliever for me. i don't drink until i get intoxicated though that's very dangerous to yourself and possibly to the other people that you are around.

I don't drink. First of all Alcoholism runs in my family.
Second, I get the worst hangovers from even small amounts of booze.

I like the taste and the calming, warming effect.
