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

I mean, I appreciate that you're rebuffing every logical argument with smilies and coy jokes instead of being rude and outspoken about it, but the fact is you're wrong. Alcoholism isn't based on an individual's opinion--it's a disease, and to not treat it as such is to do a massive disservice to all the people who legitimately have a problem.

You're doing the equivalent of calling a pimple skin cancer, justifying it by saying that's just because you "have different standards for cancer", and then making jokes when we attempt to explain things sensibly. 

I honestly do not understand how you can be so resolutely judgmental when you seem almost entirely uninformed on the subject of alcohol--let alone having actually experienced drinking. 

Ok, ok, you keep on drinking, I'll keep on not drinking. You keep on telling people to drink, I'll keep on telling people the opposite. Satisfied?

That's kind of a non-answer you know, I mean, what's the point of it? Or maybe I'm not thinking straight since I haven't drank for about 14 hours now.

But the trhead is asking what's the point of drinking. Some people are arguing there is no point, that it makes no sense. These people, not by coincidence, have just about no actual knowlodge on the subject. You tell people whatever the hell you want, but if you make no sense don't be surprised when people tell you you're not making sense :P

And he's got a point, how rational do you think your belief and your defence of it here have been?
