i drink because it's a social lubricant.

also, drinking lightly or in moderation is better for your health than not drinking at all. 

Too true. On both accounts.

The OP sounds like it was written by someone who has a family member or members with a history of alcohol abuse. Keyword there being "abuse."

All things in moderation.

What in the holy? No alcohol consumption for your body is actually better than occasional or moderational consumption.

Alcohol has detrimental effects on your body, just google it and you'll be informed.

I am 19, turning 20 in 3 months and have never resorted to drinking or smoking anything. What I really find difficult understanding is why people have to lose control of their senses in order to enjoy themselves.

You need to read more than just the articles that support your opinion.

You don't even need to look hard; the health benefits when consumed in moderation are widely acknowledged, particularly reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

I'm pretty sure no one's suggesting that anything more than moderate consumption is beneficial and if you don't know the difference between moderation and abuse, then you personally are better off abstaining until you educate yourself a bit better.

I can kind of understand why people would do that but then again I've never been drunk so I guess I'm not all that credible.

I'm glad I don't like the taste. Bubbles ew.

I like to rape kids though. I'm not scared to say it anymore!


Damn you hatter! You gone MAD!

I dont drink for the resons stated in the OP. But I guess people drink because they have no self control and guess they will get some by drinking alchol? But wait doesn't alchohol make you loose self control? So it must be that they think it will help them socially? oh I dont know people are just dumb sometimes :)

They sure are :)


just wait until u guys get to college drink with some of your buddies and a group of girls. Im not one to advocate drinking or anything but like your calling just about everyone i no even my responsible parents and all there friends stupid for something u guys no nothing about

I don't think I will have those type of friends. Even if I did I wouldn't drink with them no matter how much they would insist. It depends do your parents drink beer in excessiveness? Do they drink just to go koo koo for Cocoa Puffs?....if so then yeah I think I am.

i said they are responsible and your switching your stance. At first you said any drinking at all and now your talking more about binge drinking

Are you serious?

Alcohol lowers the inhibition level... and some other chemical stuff that I don't understand.

Here is the reason people drink alcohol:

Fun.

And I don't think I need to explain why alcohol can be fun. If you don't understand, then you're lost.

Or I'm saved. Depends how you look at it.

well apparently, its part of my national identity?

click me.

i drink about 4 times a year, except summer 2009, when my slightly inebriated shenanigans were visible to all the vgc regulars. haaaaaa. am i ashamed? no.

all my friends go out at least every weekend, get competely rat-arsed regularly and are proud of themselves for it.

i dont like that. i dont like the taste of most alcohol, and i dont like being past the buzz stage. i dont like the thought of losing control so completely. i can sit with friends while they all drink, and be happy with my lemonade.

you can try to convince people that they shouldnt be doing what they're doing,but just remember its personal choice ;)  (you know what pisses me off? i worked in a bar and there is no law protecting me if i refuse to serve a pregnant lady alcohol. according to my manager, the company could be sued for discrimination. bullshit).

anyway, im suffering no ill health due to the very occasional drink i have, but when i am in the mood for it and i have a drink in the right setting, its all good.

(i never got into drinking when i was younger, not until i was 20. and there is a history of alcohol abuse in my family. but like i've said, im not exactly a big fan.)

and i HATE wine. and beer. and whisky. edit: and most spirits. and alcopops.

WTF? Since when is THAT discrimination?
