why do people drink...?

I saw on Oprah these women who used to be over weight and they had surgery and lost lots of wieight so they turned to achool to fill the void that food left. They drank due to depression.

people drink because they get relaxation

thank you for creating such a great discussion.. i am glad to reply to your discussion. you have taken a cool topic. bcouz they love to drink and they are addictive

Some people drink because they have problems in there family, others because they only like to drink. It depends from person to person.

Many peoples drink to express their views which they have not express in their non drinking time..

i basically drink to help me relax & at the same time to give me confidence to those instance that i lack some. for those nights i feel like i need a fast, i take this to lead me off to dream land fast. but for some it eases anxiety and it stops them worrying about things. & so they can deal wiht stress and panic attacks.
