why do people drink?

[slackjaw33]

There is nothing that's positive coming from this, why do people equate drinking=fun/happiness

yet that is further from the truth

[Acesopro]

Because it helps you forget about all the important things. While you're drunk with your friends, all you're thinking of is that moment and how much fun it is.

Pretty ****ing gay imo.

Alcohol is a social lubricant. It helps people cope with social anxiety. Other people do it to fit in. Some people like the buzz from it. I don't drink personally and don't see any need for me to do it.

[MEDITATE]

Actually your more of a b!tch if you drink. Because that just shows how you cant deal with problems without help. Or your not strong enough to resist peer pressure. People who dont drink are generally a lot tougher than ones that do.

"happiness from an outersource is never true happiness..true happiness comes from within"

if you are using alcohol to have happiness you need to discover why you are not happy to begin with.

u mind me asking how its fun as hell?? getting drunk, doing stupid things, not realizing whats happening around u.

[FatWhiteKid]

You ever been depressed? You ever had your heart broken? You ever had a rough day?

[EMAW]

Here is your pedestal. Step on it, say your peace, and then sit down and stfu.

LOL at this. It's just part of the culture and what people do when they go out. How do you expect to meet girls without going to clubs or places where alcohol is served and part of the game? You must be on dat der ****gy time Mr. 40 year old virgin

Srs, you don't have to get drunk when you have a drink. I think that is a misconception amongst weak a$$ b!tches that don't drink.

Doing stupid things only happens when you can't handle your booze. Learn to pace yourself and not drink until you black out, and it's a great way to loosen up and have fun. I used to get stupid drunk when I was younger, then I learned to not slam drinks as fast as I can, or binge drink etc. I rarely get hungover, puke or have any of the negative side effects that come along with it. Drink within your limits and it's a blast.

Do you have a sense of strong dissatisfaction with yourself? this is a selfish thought and only happens when you put yourself as number one.

I think many people drink because it is fun and it does feel good for a while.
The normal person can enjoy it occasionaly and responsibly.

Drinking becomes a problem at many different points.
When you getting thrown in jail or in fights and crap.

Some grow out of this.

Some people start just for fun like everyone else and they get physically addicted. They also get mentaly addicted. The next thing you know all your friends, your activities and your life are alcohol centered.

SOOOOOOOOOOOO... even when you want to back out it's hard. It's what you do with your friends. It's how you spend your time. You are looking at breaking away from your life all together.

So, many people stay in it for many of these kinds of reasons.
You can even be addicted physically and dread drinking... but you do it anyway.

The last two years before I quit it didn't even feel good anymore. But I did it.
I had to leave my entire social group to get sober.

I know its a part of the culture but what im saying is i know a TON of people who dont drink and theyre not randomly exploding. Most of them either used to drink or just think its a waste of time and money.

And its not hard to meet chicks. Theres plenty of places, it just depends on what your looking for. Pretty much all my friends and their friends dont even like to go to clubs anymore cuz your only gonna find sk@nks there. But even if that was the only place you could meet chicks, you dont have to drink to pick them up.

This is good advice. If you suck at drinking and can't stop until you black out, get thrown in jail and get it fights... just don't. If you can handle your booze and aren't hurting anybody then who cares?

If you go to a club to meet chicks you DO have to drink or you're that creepy guy. You're muslim according to your sig so the chicks you're picking up, assuming Muslim, aren't into that. I'm talking about normal chicks here that want you to buy them drinks and spend money on them in the game.

[Rich89]

Because they want to. And I don't drink because I don't want to/thread.

lol @ this generalization, most of the people i know that choose specifically not to drink are giant pussies just trying to prove something. and are usually skinny *******s into indie music and are vegans. they try to use their identity of a 'non-drinker' to get in the pants of socially awkward females hellbent on some stupid humanitarian cause.
