Im 20 and i can drink for both reasons. Ill drink beer and larger while relaxing at home, and more spirits when im going out with mates and we are getting a little tipsy
It is rare for me to get drunk, but I do love the taste of beer. I had four pints last Sunday, and that is about as much as I'll have in an evening. That seems to be the threshold for me. If I have five pints I'll usually be past the point of no return where I just keep buying beer until I run out of money, or drinking it until I pass out.
It depends. Sometimes a Beer can be the most refreshing thing when you are really thirsty and the alcohol can just tip it on favour of a Coke or water. However, in generally Beer is a bitter drink and if I wanted a nice flavour I'd drink a Coke any day of the week. Mostly I drink to be socialable and on occasions, to get drunk:P
Who here drinks (Your age won't be judged) to enjoy the beverage or simply to get drunk?

Both, mostly to enjoy the beverage. I enjoy drinking most kinds of alcohol EXCEPT wine, I hate wine (if it isn't 'expensive' it tastes like ****). Sometimes to get drunk, simply because getting drunk with good friends is always fun.
I drink to get drunk. Alcoholic drinks almost always taste fairly rank imo.kamikaze_pigmy
I've never understood people who's main goal of drinking is to get drunk. I have normally have two beers and call it quits though some nights I can get carried away.
To enjoy it. There's nothing like a good beer, or a nice glass of wine paired with a homemade dinner. Sitting on the patio after work with a cool breeze and the sun setting and a cold, crisp beer in your hand is a moment to savour as long as possible. Then you lift the glass to your lips, citrus notes and peppery hops tingle your nostrils, bubble of carbonation burst into pockets of intense aroma, and you tilt it back and the glorious, heavenly brew cascades down your throat in a beautiful, bitter stream.

Personally, beer is expensive, and its main value is intoxication. Seems like a waste of money to drink two beers and stop, without any pay off. Of course, I could chug two beers in 15 seconds and not feel a thing, so I may be a bad example.

I like this description of enjoying an alcoholic beverage.
I like to get drunk, but you will not catch me with a bud light or miller lite. If I am drinking beer I usually drink: New Castle, Hobgoblin, Holy Grail Ale, Chimay Blue or Arrogant B@astard...I am a man of quality afterall.
BUT if I am really being cheap ill keep it real with a King Cobra or two.

Well I hate the taste of pretty much all alcohol. When I drink I am wanting to get really messed up. Its rare as I only do this maybe once every 2-3 years honestly. When that time comes though I only am drinking to get drunk.

Yup. If I wanted to enjoy the taste of a drink, there are plenty of refreshing and delicious drinks which are not nearly as expensive as alcoholic ones. That's not to say I drink alcohol that tastes absolutely disgusting just to get wasted, I do quite like some alcoholic drinks (mostly cider), but even the ones I like aren't as nice-tasting as a lot of non-alcoholic drinks, imo.
I only drink when i'm socializing, like at a club or hanging out with friends. I just stick with mixed drinks though, I don't really care for the taste of beer.
I only drink things whose taste I like, stouts, lagers and Jameson or Jack (not all mixed together, though). That said, the associated social lubrication is quite enjoyable as well.

Ah... yes. I also drink so that I can function in crowds.
I don't really drink all that often (mostly for one reason), but I tend to drink to get drunk. I don't really like the taste of any alcohol, apart from mixed drinks, to be honest. I just like being in a drunken state from time to time.
Depends on my mood. Usually I enjoy a fine craft ale a couple times a week but sometimes I just feel like getting hammered. When I wanna get hammered I drink whiskey and beer :).

The lubrication is far stretching I have something to say but of course, I dare not
