POLL: Why do you personally drink alcohol?
I can’t stand the stuff, it’s POISON, it tastes disgusting, and it’s high in calories…
Sure, Glass of Red wine everyday[read: French Paradox] but the rest…?
Why?
To Relax? To let go of inhibitions? To drown sorrows? What does that even mean!!?

To drown my swallows.
nope

because i’m a teenager

i enjoy the favour, there is nothing better then a nice cold beer
I don’t really.
I like the light headedness at a party and yes the letting go of inhibitions.
Red wine makes me feel grown up!
and also I like the taste!
Larger – blehhh no thank you!
LoVe & PeAcE ♥
I don’t really. I’ll have about half a drink every couple months.
Most of it tastes nasty, it’s bad for you, and it costs so much money. Plus I have an alcoholic parent and I had to grow up seeing what alcohol did to them.
I don’t!
Totally agree with you!
I don’t drink. My reason for not drinking is because my brother killed himself driving in a car drunk. Never have and never will.
well it depends just for fun or stuff ???
Yep I drink red wine glass a day more Italian paradox thank you.
I grew up with it there.every mealtime.
I have a beer sometime. But I never drink outside my home,
the thought of not being totally in control
appalls me.
A lot of social pressure on people to have a "drink"
come on don’t be miserable. I used to get pressurized al the time.
Drinking to drown sorrows lots folk get a short term high or happy mood which rapidly deteriorates to melancholy and maybe argumentative.
Relax? Alcohol had had some clever marketing over the years.
After a tough day at work open the bottle and away our troubles go.
Young lads have beer to loosen up and get them ready for a night out
the result is loud brash in your face THAT is losing inhibitions for them.
all in all alcohol is best avoided it has no benefits at all
I dont drink a lot but when I do, its to have a good time. Granted, I dont have to drink to have a good time. Its just that at the end of the day after chasing my two year old and taking care of the house, it is nice to just unwind. I dont like every kind of liquor. I love wine because of the taste. My favorite beer is Land Shark. I love the taste. I dont drink to get drunk. I drink because I enjoy it. As far as it being poison, eh maybe. Life is not intended to be safe though. I am all for healthy living but we are all dying a little everyday. I am going to enjoy my beer, my hotwings and my cheesecake before I die. I would rather live my life doing what I want to do.
I choose not to drink alcohol
