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

I never said it was a necessity to drink.  I am just saying having a few beers (about 2-4) can be relaxing.  Light drinking helps me play a few games better (mainly FPS).  Drinking hasn't improved my life considerably but it has helped me meet new people, be less shy at parties where I hardly know anyone (I don't really party anymore except with friends), makes family events more fun, etc...  The key word is moderation like most people have stated.  In moderation it isn't that bad. 

Beers that you should try would be Full Sail Pale Ale, ZiegenBock (only available in Texas), Warsteiner, Spaten Munich, Dos Equis, and most brands of Hefeweizen and Oktoberfest are good.  Basically it comes down to individual taste.  I prefer mainly ales but I can have semi dark beers here and there.  The cheaper the beer usually means the cheaper the taste.  Most good beers you have to pay a little more for.  However, price doesn't always mean quality but in most cases it does.

How does beer make you less shy? How does it make things more fun? Alcohol is just an useless product. And you say I should spend a lot of money on it. You must've been brainwashed by those evil alcohol copmanies.

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.
