I've always wondered why it was that people drank. I have yet to drink so I personally wouldnt know.

So why do you guys drink? If you drink.

Fuels the fun, though to much is never good. Always fun to see some shy dude go crazy cause of the alcohol. I'm a big dude, so it takes some time before I get very drunk.

I enjoy the taste of most alcohol (not including most hard stuff and especially beer). I think good wine and good mixed drinks are great.

It's an acquired taste... though when I was allowed a taste of beer I thought it tasted as bad as vaseline...

Same here, though I mostly drink it to relax. My party days were long ago. One or two cocktails before bed is enough for me.

I don't see why people get completely drunk. You end up throwing up, and then wake up the next morning with a headache and no memory of half of the previous night...

I drink when I am socialising and I get drunk when I am at a party. I find its much easier to talk to people I don't know after 3-4 beers :)

I don't drink, but I've had a few tastes. It tastes like utter, genuine crap, only difference is it's fizzy. I never got drunk, and I don't really want the hangover, thank you.

My guess is that people drink because people are stupid.

Either because they believe it's cool or because of the effects.... Those who do have chronic alcoholism hate life. They get drunk to get away from it.

You hate the taste because you've most likely never had a good alcoholic beverage.

when i drink its usually a combination of just wanting to go out and have fun, and to crawl inside a bottle for a few hours and just forget my problems. Drinking is not a solution as the problems are still there when you sober up, but it makes it better for that little while ur hammered.

Drink of choice? Long islande ice tea baby! they dont even taste like liquor even though they are like 100% liquor, except for that little squirt of coke they put in to add color =)

You don't have to drink to get drunk, I drink to relax, and to improve my pool skills (seriously I need a couple of drinks to play well) occasionally I drink to get drunk but only at parties.

I think drinking is stupid. Especially at my age (I'm 15).

Yet, I seem to be the only of my age who isn't interested in drinking.

What beers have you tried?

Budweiser(way to watered down), Tuborg, Carlsberg, Guinness, Heineken, Berliner, Royal.

Those are what i could think of now, there are properly more that i have tasted.

Youngers persons do so so that they appear cool and grown up but most of the time because of their inexperience and immaturity they do the worst mistake,they blend drinks and end up wrecks.they rest do so because some drinks taste good and you can "lighten up" a little,but everyone must stop when feeling that they had too much,because thenext dayis going to be really harsh.

WRONG. I drink it because it tastes great. And for some reason it doesn't have effects on me even though I'm 16... I drank so many Cuba Libre and Martinis in Cuba.
