I drink because...

[Vidda]

She left me.

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

I need a "because"?

 

[tomywishbone]

... Cocaine is expensive, and weed makes me sleepy.

 

[Matt2]

...I hate my life?

[toolboxolio]

I drink because it helps me read through sh!t threads.

 

[angminas]

...it'd be a shame to waste all that blood.

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

There's way too much blood in my alcohol system right now...

I Drink by L7

I drink, i get drunk and fall on my face
All my friends tell me i'm a basket case
I drink, i get drunk and fall on my face

I got so drunk
I don't remember what happened
But everybody said
I had a real good time

I drink, i get drunk and fall on my face
All my friends tell me i'm a basket case
I drink, i get drunk and fall on my face

Went to a bar
I met a guy, he bought me white Russians
I puked outside in the parking lot
While he tried to kiss me

Seein' blurry
Talkin' slurry
Feelin' queasy
This is sleazy

I drink, i get drunk and fall on my face
All my friends tell me i'm a basket case
I drink, i get drunk and fall on my face

I went for drinks in Hollywood
Came to somewhere in Hawthorne
Broke up a bush, drove into a tree
And rolled down a hill with my mouth wide open

Seein' blurry
Talkin' slurry
Feelin' queasy
This is sleazy

 

[ATLien247]

I drink because...

...it dulls the pain of my existence.

 

[Estrella]

... I am drunk

 

[purbeast0]

... it's fun.

 

[clamum]

... it's fun, tastes good, makes social gatherings more interesting, relaxes me, it's a means of escaping reality.

 

[manowar821]

If it tastes good.

 

[thirtythree]

I drink to avoid the DTs.

I wasn't claiming that one is better than the other; I was pointing out that his response made no sense (i.e., if someone says they find something fun, it makes no sense to assume that's the only thing they find fun).

Alcohol is not necessarily a poison.

 

[ggnl]

...it makes me super-strong...


...and bilingual!

All I was saying is that if you can have fun while not drunk, why do you have the desire to get drunk? Seeing as how getting drunk will simply make you look stupid (except to other drunk people).

Riding a bike is another story. It's a form of exercise, and a lot of people (including myself) find it fun because of the physical exhilarations.

Alchohol is just a chemical suppressant that people drink to make themselves stupid (with the exception of wine) or to make their problems go away. I know one guy on my hall who openly said he "drank away his problems". Hell, if you have a problem FIX IT! If you can't fix it, ACCEPT IT AND MOVE ON!

There's no problem with this formula unless the problem is chronically debilitating. In that case SEEK HELP.

To the kid's credit, a bunch of us on the hall have given him a pep talk or 2 and he's not drinking as much, but still...
