I drink alcohol because it tastes good. I only drink beer and Jagermeister. They are both delicious and this is why I drink them. I like to be a little drunk, but I agree, losing control is a very humiliating thing. Feeling a little funny sometimes can be enjoyable, but hey, that's my opinion.

ALSO: on the topic of medicines. I don't take anything for pain either. Or for colds or coughs or anything of the sort. The only medical help I accept is in the form of antibiotics and other things that ignore the symptoms and fix the problems. Anything else is just ignoring the sickness.

Your ideas here are excellent, and I agree with them. All those reasons to drink are idiotic.
