What is the purpose of drinking ?

[Miami]

I suppose its like a tradition isn't it, alcohol has been used as a beverage in celebrations and parties for centuries.

A better answer could not be giving, thanks.

Heroin IS the MOST addictive, but cocaine is still very addictive at its purest. i did not say it was most addictive 

I'd say that alchohol is the biggest drug and therefore probably the most addictive one.


Don't mind my sig saying otherwise  :razz:

[Omri]

We all got different views on drugs / alchohol, but as I am at my brothers apartment with my friend we are going to watch a movie now then I am going for now, i'm gonna check replies later on the night when I feel for it .
Good night for now

I'm Irish.. enough explanation? I come onto the server more nights than enough completely wiped, its in my culture though, everyone drinks here from they are about 13/14. For example I have a cousin, he is 16, and he told his mother he doesn't want to drink until he is 18, now he is getting grief becuase of it a 'lil bit and everyone can't believe it. To be quite honest, it is alot of fun, gives me more confidence, even though i'm already a pretty confident guy, makes me dance like crazy and gives me that 'numb' & 'buzzing' feeling.

Haha, I could imagine Anthony with a skirt dancing while beeing totally drunk

I'm 14 and I have the occasional beer. I don't like strong alcohol and I have never been drunk.

... You ruined my morning.

He means since I play the bagpipes, I wear a kilt regularly, and for anyone who asks, Kilts are orignially Irish, tartans are scottish, 2 different things.. 

Omri is right though, seeing as I always a have a 'few' drinks after I play it usually ends up the way he says 

[stiffler2100]

well, i get drunk simply for enjoyment, you're a lot more confident, and seem to love everything...but most people do it as a pathetic attempt at getting laid ahaha.

Why do I drink? Well like most of the people have said, it usually makes my mood a lot better, I become more sociable, honest and out spoken. Why can't I be that always? - Because I control myself a lot more, but alcohol eases up the control of my alter-ego, so I say out the things I really think in real life, but won't usually say. How often I drink? - Well maybe once a month

[Seskom]

Seeing this modern "fashion" to start early drinking as a propaganda I have been thinking its way too early to drink when you are around 11-14. Seskom, how can it be a good feeling if you puke the next morning :P ?

I feel good at evening but i puke at morning. :P

[Hafford]

-I drink because I enjoy the feeling, especially in social situations, people relaxing
-I like how it lowers people's guards (in some others it has the opposite effect and makes them aggressive), but I enjoy people relaxing and having a drink with me.
-Randomly throughout the week, not to excess most the time.
-Probably 10 bucks, I just go to parties and drink their beer.

Drinking is one of the not-so-many reasons for why I go out of my house
I drink to get relaxed, and I get a bit more open towards others when after a beer or two.
Beer is cheap in Poland - it costs ususally 2 to 2,5zl per 0,5l.

Rate of exchange taken from google:
1USD = 2,43PLN (= 1 beer)
1EUR = 3,55PLN (= 1,5 beers, or 1 0,66l beer)
1GBP = 4,97PLN (= 2 beers)

[Watahell]

I rarely drink. My friends? Hell, they drink a lot. But I don't. I'm *usually* the only sober guy of the group, haha.

I don't like the taste nor the effect of drinking. I'm not trying to look "z0mg awesome" but I hope to never need alcohol to make me feel happy and sincere.

I only drink as in a "social" way, like in new year, etc. But there was countless times where I aided my drunk friends, lmao.

[Squeak]

I'm not much of a drinker. But, if I'm with a couple of close friends or family, hell I'll throw back a couple of beers.
