I mean can't people have fun without it?
Is everyone really that boring unless they are falling over or being sick?

Alcohol smells nasty. I have nothing against it as long as it's used in moderation. But it's hard to resist for a lot of people. Alcohol's a stimulant and gets their minds off of their problems. But such a temporary relief from stress is not the way to handle it. A large amount of alcohol, like the amount that is consumed in order to get drunk, kills a lot of brain cells and causes the user to temporarily put away their inhibitions and good judgment. So I guess a lot of these people feel that they do need alcohol to be fun. Plus, even a small amount of alcohol can act as a depressant on the central nervous system. If someone doesn't know how to handle a bad situation, then they often look to alcohol. Once they feel that the problem is ‘gone’, they feel free to enjoy themselves. That's when they discover alcohol's other 'euphoric' effects that bring them only temporary joy. But it’s a stupid way to get past one's problems and to have fun. How much fun do they think that they’re going to have when they have kidney, liver disease, etc.? It’s ridiculous.

Alcohol boosts my character. The more I drink the bolder I get.
Alcohol boosts my wisdom. The more I drink the wiser I get.
Alcohol boosts my personality. The more I drink the friendlier I get.
Alcohol boosts my energy. The more I drink the more I dance.
Serious, alcohol is a relaxant. But, taken in moderation I see no problem. My husband and children have NEVER seen me drunk, falling all over the place or passing out. I have never drank so much that I loose my inhibitions.
I am what you would classify as a typical social drinker. I enjoy having whisky when I'm with friends and at a party - but I know when to stop and call a halt.

For some reason the general public associates drinking and being drunk as the "only" way to have fun. The only way to meet the person of your sexual dreams. Everyone should be able to have fun without drinking, but they don't realize it. If they tried they might surprise themselves. Although not a popular idea, having fun without alcohol is hard, people generally come out of their "shell" when they drink. I have had my share of "drunk" nights, but I prefer having fun and remembering all of it!

There are suggestions that alcohol was originally used to dull the pain of toothache in paleolithic times. It has been with us for quite a while. It stimulates the pleasure centers and decreases the inhibitions of the users.
There are those who use it to excess, of course, but studies have shown that a moderate intake of alcohol can be good for the health.

Alcohol seems to be a release for people. A break from the norm.
Life is a rat race nowadays so we need to live a little and getting drunk and laughing yourself silly really does help.
Laughter is the best medicine after all!! Sometimes ya just need alcohol to wash it down

I see where you're coming from! I agree - you can have fun without alcohol - you can have fun with a little alcohol too - but when you overdo it....What can I say? Hangovers, liver damage, accidents, fights, making a complete *** of yourself... the list goes on! I think worst of all is the complete loss of self control - you are putting yourself totally at the mercy of others.

Yes you CAN have fun without it, but it's much more fun with it, and yes some people are THAT boring that a beer is the only entertainment sometimes.

Well, I don't smoke, but I enjoy a drink, I don't drink to the point where I'm falling down and vomiting, just enjoy the taste and the happy feeling it gives me. Maybe I am boring, but at least I enjoy myself being boring.

To me people look like fools too when they're drunk. Alcohol is over-rated but that's probably because it makes people feel better for while as they forget about things and it kills the fear.
