All I do is ask a question, and all anyone can do is throw insults. I don't think the problem this world has is not understanding eachother, I think it's people don't want to be understood
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12373605


On a very serious level, you are insulting. Honestly, I don't get why people look down their long noses at others. Sometimes a little humility goes a long way. We are all human and we all suffer. Alcohol is a means to deaden the pain that life brings us. I'm glad your an abstainer, but we all don't fall into little neat black and white boxes. I hope you never drink. More power to you. Some need it, some don't. Sometimes we just have to say "sa la vie". Your observations in life are not everyone else's. Open your mind.

Re: Why do people drink alcohol?
Alcohol is the work of the devil, and so is cannibis. Makes everthing seem so much better....when it's really not most of the time. In addition, both make you tired and hungry so you tend to gain weight sometimes.
 Quoting: newworldnew 28730522


Is that all it takes nowadays to be "The work of the devil?"

Most people realize that it ONLY makes things better. It "Enhances" things...

There are an infinite amount of bad shit on this world, mcdonalds, electronics, bad sitcoms, why not add a little weed to the already fucked up list?

Alcohol just makes me feel better in the face of difficulties I have no control over.

Does that makes sense?

Because getting fucked up and dancing with thousands of people while listening to awesome music is the best feeling in the world, something I strive to do every weekend. Then taking hot girls home and banging them out just adds to the excitement.

Re: Why do people drink alcohol?
You either get it or you don't. All my best stories start off with... I was pretty drunk at the time...

Europeans were pretty much raised on the stuff as a way to kill off the germs in the water. Something that kept you alive for generations is not something to be casually tossed aside.

Its not why do people drink alcohol, its why are they stopping?

Re: Why do people drink alcohol?
Mmm good question. When I first started drinking, I couldn't stand the taste of it. Also, I didn't like the feeling of being out of control. But as I got older, I learned to get by the taste, by ordering super sweet girly drinks. And then I came to realize that when after having a few, I became a much better dancer, much more flirty and fun, and overall just a dynamic person!

...isn't that why everyone drinks??? *wink*

...as for drugs, those have never been my thing. Swallowing the bitter or burning taste of alcohol is one thing, but snorting, sucking and coughing, or sticking myself with needles is clearly another.....that I am too chicken shit to do.

That's where you're wrong. While that might be true for some, the same could be said for ANY activity. I assure you, most people that do drugs or alcohol don't do it for social acceptance.

Fuck..I'm buzzing right now..and if it wasn't for this post..no one would even know about it..

Nothing wrong with boring people. They are the majority. We are the majority. If you connect drinking with being socially acceptable then you are way off the mark.

That may happen in college frat party's, but I never been there...

Um, how about the obvious -- it tastes great.

There is nothing like a fine wine to complement a nice steak, or a cold beer to wash down your pizza, or a nice port to sip with your cigar.
