What is the purpose of drinking alcoholic beverages?

Answer 1

Alcohol is a social lubricant. It makes communication a lot more enjoyable and feasible. It's fun. It makes some people euphoric but harmful dependence is something that should be paid attention to. But any other time just grab a shot glass, pour some vodka, and let the good times roll.

Answer 2

according to a landmark study, underage people often consume alcohol for the purpose of increasing the likelihood of a sexual encounter

Answer 3

Turn a frown upside down. And Life. To escape your misery. To destroy your body. To look 10xs older than you really are. To be cool. To be outspoken. That enough?

Alcohol relaxes the body and acts as a psychoactive drug (specifically, a depressant.)  Drinking alcohol is an important part of many cultures throughout the world, and it is often very important in social gatherings.

Answer 12

Well I sometimes like to drink alcohlic beverages just to relax and wind down.  If I felt in this mood I would drink maybe 3 glasses of red wine with nice dark chocolate (like I will be having later on while watching the big brother eviction) but there are other times then when I drink alcoholic drinks to get twisted drunk and enjoy myself as in when I go to a pub or nightclub!!

Answer 13

Then you can get drunk.

Answer 14

Answer 15

Ignorance is bliss.

Answer 16

I cant speak for everyone but its a social thinkg.  They taste good and you get a nice buzz that is very relaxing and fun.  A lot of people drink so that they can get completely out of control which is a little bit redicuulous, while others drink to escape their problems, I think most just drink to have some fun and relax though

Answer 17

Good question. I personally don't drink but I guess for some its an easy way to have fun? It helps people relax and feel more social. I think that's what it comes down to...

Answer 18

to make sure everyone knows u r an idiot.

Answer 19

The right kind of wine can help food taste better, like a cabernet sauvignon with steak.  You can drink in moderation and not get drunk.  Drinking too heavily can make you fat, sick, or both.

Answer 20

to have fun

Answer 21

Your a worm!
