I agree with you totally that people change so much when drunk and that's so sad, all I can say is they must have something major lacking in their lives if they have to get out of their tree with drink, I have seen people go from the sweetest angels to complete thugs through drink, sad, very sad and no need for it, they need to get a life, get a grip cause overdoing drink just ain't hip, don't drink and drive, respect all life.

Some people drink to get drunk, some people drink to relax/chill, some people drink to socialize. Not everyone who drinks, drinks to get drunk. People who do drink to get drunk are over medicating and may need some type of help. Alcohol can change people, no doubt about it. It's an individuals choice on being a responsible drinker.

Personally I have just as much fun when I don't drink as when I do. I agree that many people turn into maniacs on alcohol though. I think that those of us who know when to stop have fun, as we become more lively, etc, but not psychopathic.
However, many folk don't know when they've had enough. I have occasionally had too much to drink and did not like the fact that I didn't remember much of the evening! When I did remember, I didn't like what came back to me!!!
But generally, we live in a world (in the UK anyway) where over indulgence seems to be encouraged and consequences are not really thought about in advance. How many times have you walked to work and seen blood spattered pavements from the day before? Me? Loads of times. It is scary.
But alcohol in moderation can make people more chatty, funny and entertaining.
I think the main problem is that people don't really recognise it for what it is - a very powerful addictive drug, and one that kills more people than any other drug out there.
Having said that, I enjoy going out, staying sober among my drinking friends and being highly entertained by their antics. Also, watching out for them!!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy yourself with or without it!

Not everyone is a bad drunk. I am actually quite pleasent after a drink. First of all it tastes nice, secondly if you are at a party or some sort of social event then it helps people like me to just relax.
I have never been hammered or anything but when I have had a drink I am friendly, happier and fun loving.
So not everyone is a loud mouthed violent smelly t*** after a drink.
The difference between someone like that and me is that I drink very responsibly, I know what I can take and I know when to stop.

Are you ill? LOL sorry just kidding, I actually find it quite admirable that you won't do something that you are unsure of.
The reason we enjoy to drink is that it allows you the freedom to do what you feel like at the exact moment you feel like doing it... As long as you don't get too drunk and lairy, or worse, end up in a heap LOL. I guess as an example, at least from a bloke's point of view, it is hard to free yourself up enough to dance like noones watching until you've got a few inside you; in other words it lowers your awareness in terms of self-consciousness. Say you've liked someone for a little while but you've never had the guts to approach him/her, a bit of dutch courage and you'll soon find yourself ready to put yourself out there.
Though I absolutely agree that too much alcohol turns some people into someone annoying and generally unpleasant to be around, and some people that it's downright dangerous to be around. But as long as you drink responsibly everything's usually OK.

I guess its a form of relaxation/ stress relief. You loose your inhibitions and grow in confidence under the influence of alcohol. I personally do enjoy a drink, especially when out on the town with friends. Seem to have more fun that way rather that when I'm the designated driver and not drinking!! :(
Also having a drink doesn't mean that you have to go on a shot gulping marathon and puke repeatedly over your best mates girlfriend (which, for the record i haven't done... but one of my friend's have on their mates gf) Just a few drinks to get you tipsy is enough to have a laugh.

Yeah drunk people scare me too unless i'm intoxicated myself. Alcohol turns people revolting. On the other hand i can get quite lively when i've had a drink as long as i'm in good company, but overall i drink maybe twice a year.

I believe that you can drink without getting out of control. So my answer really only applies to people that control their drinking. Maybe people like to drink a beer or a glass of wine because it lowers your inhibitions, and your insecurities and your worries about what other people think of you are lessened. That can be a really good thing for people if they tend to be shy or self-conscious or uptight. AND, speaking from experience, it can be fun to be drunk, if you are with a group of people you trust, and you can just be silly and have fun and not have to worry about putting yourself in a dangerous situation.

I agree its as if they have become a different person- more stupid! I don't drink and I don't see the point of getting drunk. I suppose its what most people would call "fun".

I don't know, I'm not a big drinker either. I've never had more than one drink in a particular day. I think people act pretty dumb when they're drunk and getting sick/having a hangover isn't appealing.
