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

Point is, it's not something that can really be explained and answered to someone that hasn't had appropriate experience. People can explain the effect and why it's enjoyable, but unless you've experienced it, the answers aren't going to explain anything.

And yes, most drinkers do already know the negative effects of alcohol. It's drilled into us (in the UK at least) in the media all the time. It just so happens that most heavy drinkers don't care.

whispers to ear: "...but I'm in the United States" 

Is alcohol education really that bad across the pond? Then again it must vary state by state...

Anyway, my personal experience of Americans is they don't drink very much and are actually more sensible than we are in the UK :P
