maybe because life is getting to them,but i wish they wouldn't,as alcohol is a depressant so it will not make them feel any better,only worse and it doesn't solve any problems either they are still there the next morning or when you wake up,drugs I'm not sure about,i have smoked some of it at times,and it makes me laugh so much,more should try that,but not the hard drugs,no way,the reasons are i suppose escaping from real life for awhile,which can be so very cruel at times,i hope this has helped you a bit,byeeeeeeee

To escape the world as we know it. To get in touch with ourselves as we cant normally. To seek meaning in ways we cant with all the distractions.
There are many reasons people do. As long as you don't abuse then you are doing no harm. At the point you desire you probably should stop or cut back.
I don't see anything wrong with altering the mind.

Man, and other animals for that matter, have always sought out altered states so it can't really be because of the stresses of modern life. In my case, I know it's partly that I can't believe life is this crap and also because it's only natural to want to experience that whole of existence - not just the world we live in day to day but everything that I minds are capable of giving us. Existential, moi?

Drugs and alcohol numb your seses. In fact they slow down your brain due to which people feel relaxed. It due to this reason that most people drink. Life today is too demanding. We have made our lifes so complicated that now we are not able to handle it. And we use things like these to help us out. But what people don't understand is that it is only temporary. It does not solve problems it only worsens things.

I think drugs and alcohol are an excuse.
Why not do what I do when bored.
Make sure you're on your own- then stick your penal helmit in a vacuum cleaner and switch on. With the exception of all the blood it's terrific.
