    I've never really understood.

    I like to fish, I like to golf, I enjoy sporting events, I like to shoot the breeze with friends and relatives; I don't see why I have to alter my mental facilities to enhance the experience of any of these.

    You don't have to. I drink so I can tolerate people better.

    ^^^^ What she said

    Maybe people can tolerate you better after you've started drinking too?

    If I'm going to drink I prefer to do it at home, and I never have friends over so other people's preferences are not an issue.

    because everyone is that boring and also because drugs make life more tolerable

    How do you think most of us were conceived? Alcohol, my friend. Without alcohol, there would be no people. Scientific fact. Plus, it's kind of fun.

    ^^^Nope!

    Maybe it's not the reason for people, but it might just be the reason for civilization!

    I think Bare Naked Ladies band said it best: "I love you more than I did the week before, I discovered alcohol."

    Not a big drinker, but when I have to go to work functions, it always helps to have a little. I have to deal with co-workers on a daily basis, why oh why would I want to go hang out with them? My social life and work life are separate for a reason. If I don't drink, they better be!

    Do people try to get you to drink often?

    I personally love to drink and wish I could get away with doing it more but alas I can't afford it calorie wise or wallet wise. I'm always in a better mood with a vodka soda in my hand(s)

    People need an excuse to justify their twerking, brutally honest and 'offensive' tweets, and Farmville requests duh.

    alcohol just makes everything more fun...plus craft beer and good wine are awesome...

    I went "dry" camping once...boring. I went "dry" fishing once...boring. The UNM football facility doesn't allow alcohol...that team is un-watchable completely blitzed...couldn't imagine being sober....boring...and just painful to watch. Etc, etc, etc...it just makes life more fun.
