What's the point of drinking, the point of being DRUNK?!

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.

No, none of them do but I just hate the fact that those that do act like idiots when they are drunk. 

Even with 'moderation' amounts, what do you find in alcohol drinks? The smell is intolerable and I can only imagine how the drink itself taste like. YUCK!

Some enjoy the taste because they're conditioned to respond to the desired effects of inebriation.

Others develop a refined palate over the years to the point where the subtle differences and notes of their drink(s) of choice make drinking an experience rather than just a means to achieve inebriation.

It's not something someone with no experience in the matter would understand.
