What's the appeal of alcohol?

It makes you feel good and forget your life.
T. Hate alcohol

It makes me go numb so the depression stops hurting for a short period of time

It makes you unable to think.

taste okay, makes you feel like a man, and you can socialise with others.

Somehow things seem a little bit less shit.

a small amount has a nice relaxation effect.
anymore than that is silly/unpleasant/escapism.

It relaxes you, lowers your inhibitions and makes it easier to socialize until you drink too much and the room starts spinning a little bit and you need to lay down. Kind of gives you this "I don't care" feeling and after a few drinks it's pretty easy to go pass out.

I want to know the appeal of marijuana seems to make a lot of people paranoid. I heard one guy say that he gets "happy, hungry and sleepy" but that hasn't been my experience with it at all.

It erases your boundries and thus works like a decent social lubricant.

Indica and sativa based strains have different effects.

I don't get it either, even if I have a little it either does nothing or it just makes me feel drowsy and shitty. Turning 21 in a couple days and it means nothing to me because I don't drink.

It basically turns off some of the filters of what you may or may not say and do.
I doesn't turn an introvert into an extrovert like they say, but it'll make you spurt out your ideas more.
I've not drank for that long of my life, but its nice to just forget a bit sometimes.
I wouldn't recommend to drink that often though, and ive only ever had cheap vodka really.

This. Nothing better than silencing the constant regret and shame I have looping in my mind.

it makes all your bad feelings good feelings and it makes your life all blury but you dont want none of this shit dewy cox from walk hard

Makes you feel relaxed and at ease saying dumb shit to people you'd hardly talk to otherwise.
I hate clubbing but going down to the pub with a bunch of mates and just chilling out is great.

It numbs the body and retards the mind. Its only fun if you are alone otherwise its nerve wracking as you are in public with the mind and reflexes of a snail.

Go out, but some good whisky and drink 3 shots over the course of an hour.

To me atleast weed and alcohol have similar external symptoms but different affects to me personally. When I was high I worried that I was inebriated, like some high level self awareness was still working and concerned that I was fucked up.
When drunk, the opposite, that higher level reasoning is dampened, less self aware (to a degree)

I can't understand alcohol adiction, it fucking tastes terrible, the effect isn't worth it for me, unless it is a social moment.

alcohol almost always makes me feel worse than before i started drinking. i still can't believe people can be alcoholics. I've tried to fight this MANY times over the course of years, because a. I'm a degenerate and b. my depression and anxiety is so bad that im desperate for a release. i rarely have enjoyed being drunk unless im already out in a social situation. Then it's worth it, because i'll just feel like shit anyway, not being able to socialize and all.

It turns all your bad feelings into good feelings, it's a nightmare.

I don't get it either.
I tastes too terrible to enjoy.
I'm 30 and I've never been drunk.

I've tried all sorts and so far the only bearable thing has been some whiskey or and some hipster hard cider.
Beer regardless of how cheap or microbrewery stuff has all tasted like unbearable shit.

How in the world are you able to enjoy whiskey but not beer, unless you had it in a mixed drink?
In my mind the "accessibility" of alcohol goes: White wine -> cider -> red wine -> light beer -> dark/hoppy beer -> aged spirits (rum, whiskey, mezcal, etc)
