I drink for all the reasons in the poll (except the 'alcoholic' and 'not ever' ones) depending on the situation.
Poll: Alcohol and your reasons...
- Thread starter ApeShapeDeity
- Start date
I go out for drinks with friends every now and again. I'd probably say it's a mix between the flavour, the social experience ("Alcohol is just a lubricant for all the individual encounters that a bar offers" - Cookie for reference!), and making fun more fun. Then again, I know my body pretty well, and I know when it's time to stop drinking, so I'm never piss drunk.
I'll knock back one or two drinks every few months. Overall, I'm just not that into it. I don't judge others and what not, and as long as you're intelligent (i.e. designated driver, doesn't impact other areas of your life) no real harm in it.
If life gets REALLY shitty, then I might go get drunk. But really, it takes a lot to get me drunk/buzzed to the point that I "enjoy" it, I get hangovers from hell, like the taste of soda better, and it's expensive.

I love the taste of Margaritas. With salt, please.
I love the many mudslidey-milkshakey Kahlua-based[footnote]That's Kahlúa-based for those who have the right character set[/footnote] drinks out there.
Unfortunately, one or two drinks will tidily knock me out and make me feel crappy in the morning.
So I drink very little at all, typically champagne, toasting somebody's wedding, or the new year. And I tend not to drink more than an inch.
Caffeine and games are my drugs of choice.

Sometimes I just have a few beers with friends for the taste.
I once got really drunk 2 years ago. And I will never want to be that way again. So usually I just drink 3-5 beers and call it a day.

I don't drink because the taste of alcohol (that is, the "sting" or "strong" taste that is at the core of most drinks and is what "connects" things like beer, wine or whiskey that otherwise wouldn't taste the same at all) is disgusting to me.
That and I don't like how people act when they're drunk, so I don't even go to bars or things like that anyway...

I drink at parties, or when I'm socialising with friends. It's a social lubricant, helps me relax and means I'm spending more time having fun and getting to know people rather than being uptight, anxious or too shy to get to know people.
Beyond that, it feels good and it tastes good, so why not?

Depending on the situation and how I'm feeling, it can be any of them except the alcoholic option and the never option.
I drink in social situations, that is, whenever me and my friends go and play pool I will have a beer or two. A lot of people say they don't like the idea of not being in control but with myself personally I find that I am far more relaxed and less uptight after a few beers than I am normally. I only get drunk when I go out with my flatmates to clubs (I am at uni after all).
I drink purely for recreational use, I never drink to cope with stress or other life problems. I think that doing so wouldn't help me solve the problem, or cope with the problem either, I think I'd end up at the bottom of a well and struggle to get out if i did drink to cope with a problem.

I might be the only person I know of irl that has literally no intention of ever drinking alcohol. Same with Drugs and Smoking.
I Don't really care if that makes me boring, or the Reincarnation of Buzz Killington from Family Guy, I mean if my associates feel like using the aforementioned, then fine, as long as they don't drag me into it.
