Why Do People Drink.....Alcoholic or Social Drinker?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 94/100. nupats (1294)   ranked 881 out of 26,920 in people 4 years ago

One important thing to remember about alcohol is that it is a drug, and people get addicted to it. It’s known as alcoholism and people who suffer from it are called alcoholics. The truth is, alcoholism is a disease, and it can be very, very hard for alcoholics to stop drinking...however the level of addiction will vary from person to person..my husband also drinks one or two pegs of white rum or a bottle of beer whenever we go out or dinner or in a party..my brother drinks sometimes only under peer pressure a Bacardi Breezer..i do not drink at all because i cannot tolerate the smell of alcohol..Why do you drink? are you a social drinker or are you an alcoholic? what do you drink? at what age did you start drinking? did you ever try giving it up as a habit?

People drink to get drunk. Alcohol tastes too crap to drink it just for the taste of it.
I like to drink becasue I like to get drunk. I've thought about cutting down, which I have but I will bnever stop becasue drinking (intelligently) is fun.

Hi, happy

I totally agree that alcohol is a drug. I no longer partake in alcoholic drinks and neither does my husband. My ex-husband I believe was an alcholic. Every night as soon as he got home, he would start opening beer cans and he would continually drink them throughout the evening until he would pass out. Weekends were horrible and I hated it. After 17 years we divorced because I had had enough.

I admit that in my younger years I liked to drink. I started at 18 but never let it take control over me. I would only drink on the weekends when my friends and I would go out and party. I met my ex-husband in a bar. Gee, I should have thought of that when I married him. lol I quit drinking after seeing how alcohol was ruining him.

Alcohol can be very dangerous and damage many lives.

Happy MyLotting,
Char

Hello,nupats!I don't understand why people drink and what they get of it.regular consumption of alcohol may damage the liver of a person.besides studies have revealed that most of the accidents are caused by the alcoholic people.they drink and drive their vehicles and cause accidents on the road.we in India consider alcoholism as a social evil and we hate the alcoholic people.thanx.

I like the taste of good whiskey and enjoy the buzz I get. But I have to be very careful, alcoholism runs in my family. I found myself drinking too much a few times, making a habit of it so I stopped. I enjoy a drink every now and then but it's easy to get into a habit of having one before bed every night, then two, and so on. Now I have one mainly if I'm out with friends but not at home much--I no longer buy big bottles, either. I don't want to be a habitual drinker!

Also, people think it's easier to sleep after a drink or two but alcohol disrupts sleep.
