Why would anyone want to get drunk??

Question

It seems like its a right of passage for anyone who turns 21 to drink and get drunk, I personally don't think that sounds like fun, why has turning 21 become such a big deal?

Answer 1

bc drinking is fun but i dont think that it sounds fun to get so drunk that u end up getting sick and u have the worst hang over of ur life... but thats good that u dont do that cuz most ppl do:)

Answer 2

Being intoxicated is fun. You won't know how fun until you try it. If you don't want to try it, that's fine but it removes any credibility you might have when telling others it is not good to drink.

Answer 3

Drinking is fun...most likely because it's an activity that involves being around friends at a joyful social occasion. I respect the fact that you're straight-edge and all...as long as you don't sit there and tell me that you're a better person than me because of it. If I like to drink, let me drink: you can miss out then! ;P

Answer 4

Because you get this relaxed, out of it, happy feeling, and it gives you sort of an escape from your bullshit for alittle while, but can also make it worse, and make you more emotional about it because alcohol is a depressant...so actually...i dont know. I guess being drunk is just fun. You also feel alot more confident about yourself to talk to other people, but you act so sloppy and clumsy and just windup making a fool out of yourself so thats dumb too. Idk, just being drunk is entertaining, for yourself and other people.

Answer 5

Because Americans shelter their kids from alcohol so much that when they turn 21 they go crazy and binge drink!

Answer 6

Well I didn't do it when I turned 21 but I am now because life SUCKS>

Answer 7

ain't21 but it  is fun  cuz i can i'm 41

Answer 8

drinking is fun, drunk is a big NO NO.

Answer 9

its the ability to be able to do it, not that they really want to

Answer 10

great question!!!

i am past 21, but can tell you that on my 21st birthday, i stayed up all night and.... (drumroll)..... STUDIED!!  couldn't help that i had a midterm the next day.  i did end up having a birthday later in the week, drank a little, but didn't get sick or anything.  i think that drinking, getting drunk, and "partying" are waaaaaay overblown, not to mention, very unhealthy.

drinking is fun for some people, and not so fun for others.  the big time beer and wine companies would want you to believe that it is fun, lighthearted, enjoyable, and normal to drink and party.  but that's not how all people feel. there are groups of people who could take it or leave it.  me?  i wouldn't care if i never had another sip of alcohol for the rest of my life.  i believe that some people just think that it is the thing to do, or that they have to do it to have fun.  but what no one sees is that alcohol can be dangerous, make you sick, and worse yet, be extremely addicting.  there are addicts out there who probably wish that alcohol had never touched their lips.

best wishes.  i applaud you for not being hypnotized by booze like so many others.
