Topic explains it, why do you drink?

I drink because it relieves stress and I like to rage.
I'm drinking right now and wondering why people drink. It seems everyone in the room has a different motivation.

Some people seem to do it for emotional reasons, some for personal, and some don't know why...

To wash away the pain of life

EHH.

Either it helps me relax, or there's some drinks where I just like the taste. Takes the 'edge' off during times of anxiety. I don't really drink too much though, just occasionally.

I find it "rewarding" after workign so hard in school and life in general. I don't do it very often, so the fun feeling is just to reward myself

[Elindoril]

I drink to feel better, I guess?

I'm drinking right now, and I can say, with just hanging out with friends, it was making me more sociable and loose compared to when I'm completely sober, where I was being anal about a lot of things when we were playing games.

That, and having a buzz going just feels wonderful.

Because the cool kids do, jk.
Don't know why / because I'm thirsty?

[ShinaDutchAD]

I don't drink.

My dad was a horrid alcoholic (thankfully he got help), so I'm extremely biased against it.

I don't care if others do....just don't get buzzed/drunk around me. x_x

To escape from my alcoholism problems

[Jakerz]

I use to drink socially a few times a week, just for a good time I guess. I don't drink anymore except for holidays, when I normally get completely hammered.. to celebrate the holidays of course

[iargue]

Its more fun then not drinking

[Abradix]

I haven't been drinking as much since I left the Navy... It gets me in trouble.

[pkdust]

i only drink a little when i go to a party, and its only a little. i haven't been drunk in years.

[onethreezerotwo]

I like good drinks and good beer. I'm not often into raging.

[Falien]

I drink because I-- Oh wait. I don't drink.

But when I do, it's just to taste it once. I don't get drunk or anything.

[ReineM]

I drink so I can stop getting mad or raging at somebody LOL
It works every time when I can't stand for something.

I can only drink a little

I keep Budweiser 55 at home for when I don't want to consume a lot of calories, but still want to drink (which is often). MGD 64 is also good (relatively speaking) if you prefer Miller.

To respond to the OP, I drink because I like how it feels, and how it tastes.

I drank non alcoholic beer when I was pregnant just because I love the taste of beer (and alcohol in general, but you can't really drink non alcoholic dirty martinis or else it's just olive juice).

That would be a great idea for a SOTW theme!

I very much doubt anyone loves the taste or smell of alcohol. In fact, I know they don't.

quoth my friend,
"151 is like Satan's piss"



you can tell i'm a teenager because only teens who want to get wasted drink 151, ogawd.

[AyoForYayo]

I don't
I only drink when I run out of drugs.

Other than that I don't like alcohol

[Sida]

Because work was fucking shit.
Ffs why isn't today friday?

[luvsmyncis]

I drink so I can show everyone what a big tough manly man I am.

I very much doubt anyone loves the taste or smell of alcohol. In fact, I know they don't.

There are beers I drink because I find them refreshing or the flavor and smell reminds me of a happy memory. Unless you aren't counting beer as alcohol.
I rarely drink to get drunk, even if I'm depressed. I like to feel my feelings, not drown them.

[Frizzle]

No I'm stating that alcohol itself has no taste or smell. It's the additives and sugar that people crave.

[Nymh]

Then I shall say, for those literal-minded folks, alcoholic beverages in general.

[Big Joe]

I don't drink because I workout a lot and it's counterproductive.
