Mostly for the wonderful flavours. I'm especially fond of wines, of which my country makes some of the best (well in some varieties, we have almost without doubt the best Sauvignon Blanc). Though there is nothing to beat a cold beer on a hot day, and pretty much nothing to beat a single malt Scotch full stop.
I do however do get tipsy or drunk on occasion. So long as you don't take it to an extreme (vomiting/passing out for example) it can be a very enjoyable and social experience.
However I must say alcohol addiction is a godawful thing and can really destroy a person.
