In my experience people drink for a variety of reasons. Some drink to forget their everday problems and responsibilites. Others drink to have a good time and lessen their inhibitions. Drinking is a way to become a different person in a way. Also, some people, especially young people, drink to experiment and see what it's all about.

Some people drink to forget, some to make the pain go away, some to mearly loosen up among other reasons. But alcohol some people forget is a drug, it is addictive and it gets you drunk like other drugs like pot gets you high. alcohol though is a depressant (though it may make you giggly, funner to be around ect) what it does to your body is that it depressess your bodily functions and it also kills brain cells like any other drug, so it only helps for the time being but in the long run it only is hurting if you drink out of control.

If people drink to solve problems it most definitely will not help as alcohol is a depressant.

alcohol is a crutch that people use when they cant handle life on its own terms--you can escape today but tomorrow usually comes with the same issues, problems, etc.
drinking is not the answer--it doesnt help, it makes you smell bad and act stupid and you feel really crappy when you wake up the next day.

people drink because it helps them to be more social..... and it distracts them from whatever problems they might be having......
drinking really doesn't help....... alot of the time it just makes things worse

ESCAPISM? I have never seen any situation made better by alcohol or drugs. I have however, seen many social situations made horrid by alcohol and drug use. It NEVER helps. Do we really want to know what people think and can do and can say while totally uninhibited? NO, we do not.
