Question

OK people alredy know alcohol is bad in soo many ways.. but yet they still try it and get addicted to it???

WHY?

i been wondering.. cuz it don't make sense.. they know they're gonna end up doing something there gonna regret but they still try it!!!

Answer 1

I don't have any idea...but I don't think everyone who drinks "loses it"--I have a couple of friends who drink but not out of control. But then of course are the few I know who do...I've never fully understood it. Maybe it feels good and they actually like the taste?

Answer 2

Most people don't get addicted to it actually.  I drink a glass of wine or two with dinner and it is lovely.  Why do you think drinking is always negative?  Only for teenagers who drink more than they can handle.

I don't end up doing things I regret when I'm drunk either....the last time that happened was maybe college and at that point in life it is just plain fun.

Answer 3

Cause they grown and can. They work hard why shouldn't they be able to party once in a while?

Answer 4

Answer 5

most of the people i know that drink including me drink so that they can forget something and it allows them to relax and calm down. My friends and i drink to forget about the bad times and problems that we are facing

Answer 6

Because sometimes it tastes wonderful - I made this concoction last night - the best thing I've ever tasted

Creek water - equal parts lemonade & clear liquor

so I used triple sec with my fresh squeezed lemonade- it was WONDERFUL

Answer 7

Alcohol is an acquired taste. The reason(s) why people drink is probably numerous and multifaceted.  Alcohol in itself, and in moderation isn't bad, it's the abuse of it.  Unfortunately, too many people do abuse it - the only thing I can chalk that up to is foolishness.
