I mean it leads to all sorts of problems. For example fights and one night stands that you wish never happened. I mean this list goes on and on and it does not get any better. So why do some people put them self’s in a situation like that?

I drank a whole lot for many years. I did it because I was unhappy with myself and my life. I drove many times when I had no business on the road. I had too many one night stands and/or brief affairs. I could not imagine not coming home from work and getting drunk. Ancient Age and diet coke!
Then, I got pregnant. I wanted my baby very much. You know what, I had no problem stopping my drinking. I had a reason to live. I loved being pregnant. My son, who is now 13, changed my life and quite possibly saved my life.
After he was born, the thought of waking up with a hangover to a happy hungry baby was such a deterrent that I did not start drinking again.
Now, I have wine occasionally. I do like Margaritas rarely. I can drink on very rare occasions and not think about it in between. Bourbon and coke--I would not touch it. LOL
Most important of all, I respect myself now. I like me. That is good.

Each person is different so has different reasons for what they do. Of course you could probably generalize large segements of similar reasons such as: to avoid reality for a short period; to hang out with friends and being drunk is a side effect; to counter some imagined or real pain... the list goes on.

For fun of course. The bad stuff only happens when you are already on a downer or drink to much, which you probably wouldn't do if you were truely happy.

!ome people like it.Some people just dont know when to stop.Some people can drink all night.If you get drunk and fight,then you shouldn't drink.One night stands happen without alcohol.Then again ,alcohol makes a one night stand easier.Live and learn but keep your cool,and keep your inhibitions at bay,if you can.CHEERS!GET YOUR KNICKERS OFF,WHAT YOU LOOKIN AT!

Because the starting stages of being drunk feel so nice and by then your judgement has gone.

kids because they think it makes them look good to there mates,
adults because there alcoholics and cant help themselves,
and rest of the adults because they want an excuse to fight, and want an excuse to have that one night stand, then they can say,
"but i don't remember, i was drunk"!
quite sad really.

well, why do people smoke even though tobacco:
-has over 300 chemicals including niccotine
-gives at least 24 types of cancer
-is not advertised to sell on tv anymore
-is a leaf and smoke is bad
