Why do people drink alcohol?

Question

Some people tell me it's to get drunk, tipsy, or buzzed, but is there anyother reason?

Answer 1

"Why not" may be a better question. I drink tequilla for it's unique flavors and the effort and time it takes to make. Who was the first to take a cactus flower and make a drink from it?? I drink wine and beer for the same reasons, although most of the wine and beer I consume is made by your truly. Just like cooking, enjoying the fruits of your labor is very rewarding. I will not say I never become "buzzed", but it is not the main reason. Drinking is fun, 'nuff said

Answer 2

TO DRINK MY BLUES AWAY

Drinking alcohol in moderation(1 a day) can benefit your heart's health, especially red wine

I think most folks drink to fit in with others and feel a part, or just to have a good excuse for a near future poor decision, ie. butter face.

I like to have a few now and then, but when I overdo it and get drunk, it is a pretty fun feeling if you don't get too drunk, but the hangovers will teach lessons. I drink less and less these days.

You asked why people drink, which is a MUCH broader question than why people get drunk.

Just have a toke and a smile.

I drink to relax. I don't drink all the time, maybe once a month at most. But if I have had a bad day I will have a drink or two. I will drink socially, but that is a rare occasion. My fiance is going for his doctorate, and I get drug to all kinds of parties, so I might have a drink, but usually I do it to relax.---And I am the dork who didn't start to drink until 1-2 months b/f I was 21, I didn't start in high school.

I laugh when I hear that 15 & 16 year olds at my school get drunk, because they are 5 times as likely to be alcoholics and dead beats when they are older.

Answer 6

Drinking is something that people turn to if they want to let loose and just not care what anyone thinks of them, also if someone is having a bad day and is pissed off they just want to say **** everyone and drink. Another reason is from stress. If someone is stressed out they will want to just chill and drink.

So that is why people drink
