Don't worry, I don't get the point of it either for a couple reasons.

A.) Once people start drinking, they act as if it is the only way to have fun.

B.) My mom gets drunk (3-4 drinks drunk, not wasted drunk) several days a week, and it rather disgusts me and discourages me from drinking, because I don't want the same to happen to me.

Right, go making things up :P

It's incredibly naive that when people tell you guys "I drink because it's fun" you turn that into "I drink because that's the only way for me to have fun".

Please, we're on a gaming forum. Why the hell to you think us drinkers play games? Because of their high levels of alcohool? Because of their numbing proprieties? It's not like all of us play Duke Nuken or MMORPGs.

Lots of people who drink also play sports, watch tv, play games, hang out without alcohool, go to movies, etc. They entertain themselves just as well as you guys do most of the time without being inhebriated or counting the minutes until their next drink. Just climb out of your holes and you'll notice that :)

My dad has never gotten wasted, but he drinks and it really just discourages me. But there are members in my extensive family who do, it isn't a good sight. For example my sister's wedding is next week and she limiting beer/alcoholic drinks during dining only. I don't see whats fun about losing ones ability to fully control oneself. It's the same with otherharmful drugs, same reason (to have fun for some). 

I don't see what's the fun in lots of things. Most times you're actually looking for the fun in the wrong place. You may not understand the fun other people have from the outside, doesn't mean they're somehow wrong in having that fun.

That actually sounds like a good idea to limit drinking during dining only.

To be honest, I've never seen a family member of mine wasted, I've just seen more than my fair share of times where a family member is drunk, and it is annoying as hell.  They get extremely obnoxious, ask stupid ass questions, reveal information you may have told them that was supposed to be between the two of you, and sometimes get all touchy.  Overall, my attitude usually goes from a 9-10 (happy) to a 2-3 (pissy) when drunk people get around me...I just get so irritated by it.

Same hapens to me, especially when they start talkingto me or i'm left in the same place as them. It feels very embarrassing and awkward. They'll say lots of stupid stuff. I remember news back then that my brother-in-law's cousin drove right inot the Mississipi River and drowned.

Well, there's something as appropriate behavior. If you're among a bunch of drunkards and you're sober you're the missplaced one. Now if one of these drunkards get drunk between people trying to be "serious" and sober, then he's wrong. Either way it says nothing about drinking or not per se.
