ExpIain drinking to me? You pay money to consume ethanol and make an ass out of yourself, get sick then wake up feeling like you got ran over.

Sounds like fun.

100% of humans want to die. Alcohol is a very common cope.

>kills anxiety
>buzz can be pleasant if you don't overshoot it
>drink a lot of water so that you don't get hung over
>more plentiful than other drugs because literally all you have to do is feed sugar to a fungus and then drink its liquid feces

This. It puts you in a state of only semi-consciousness, so it is like being partially relieved of the burden of living.

It feels good. Try not drinking really shitty beer or whatever that makes you throw up before it gets you drunk. Also drink more water.

you cant make an ass out of yourself when your by yourself

Drinking is 0 fun alone, it just makes you feel number and slows your reaction time. Tastes worse when you're alone too I feel, because of the lack of mood.

I've never been more than buzzed. I usually stop when I start to feel like my body is not moving in sync with my brain. But I actually like the taste of craft beer

Most people do it because of the social stigma surrounding it. Alcohol loosens ones inhibitions and drinking it is a sign of letting your guard down and showing your true self to others. The rest of them started this way, and now associate alcohol with pleasurable experiences like parties and are either addicted or on the road to addiction.

There are two types of drinkers at parties, the ones who drink because they are at a party and the ones who party as a reason to drink. What i do is usually accept the alcohol and pretend to drink it (put my closed mouth to the rim of the cup) then dispose of it when nobody is watching.

I drink for the taste

Craft beers are like any other acquired taste: delicious. Being tipsy is fun. Being tipsy with friends is more fun. You are more brave and honest with some alcohol in you. Emotions are more intense.

All that said being drunk can suck. If you get too drunk you might say something you regret or worse yet not remember what you did. Of course how bad you feel it in the morning matters too.

Anywho, responsible drinking can be relaxing and fun. If you don't want to try it dont, but it's something everyone should try once.

Cheers friend.

Pretty much
>drink half a bottle of soco
>not feeling bad at all while i'm awake
>go home and fall down asleep on carpet
>wake up barfing
>crawl over to trashcan
>finish
>spray carpet with stain remover
>room smells like cleaning agents & vomit
>open window
>wake up shivering but atleast it doesn't smell like vomit anymore
it's fun sometimes though

I tried alcohol once at my friends party. It was pretty nice, it makes the social anxiety go away, and generally feels pretty nice.
I still ended up with a hangover even with drinking lots of water, so it isn't worth it overall.

Drink less then retard

I usually don't go to sleep immediately, I wait until that stage of nausea to come and pass, once it's gone for the first time it usually means you'll feel fine when you wake up

I don't know if this has anything to do with how fast your metabolism or whatever is. It's what I do.

i drink to forget

I've tried many times to enjoy alcohol but even two beers can make me puke. It never used to be that way but one day my body started to reject any alcohol and I can't drink anything without extreme nausea. Just a single shot of vodka can start the nausea. Cider, beer, wine, doesn't matter. feelsbadman

Aside from the effects it has on your behaviour, I treat drinking alcohol as a fun party game, kinda like truth or dare, except it's always dare and the dare is always to take a drink.
>You pay money to consume ethanol
Dunno what it's like where you live, but in my country you can get proper fucked up for less than $10, I'd say that's dirt cheap
>make an ass out of yourself
Isn't that what parties are about in general? Doing silly shit with people? Make sure everyone is drinking as much as you though, if they had one beer each while you got seriously shitfaced then yeah, you're making an idiot of yourself
>get sick
That's part of the fun, kind of. If drinking is a game then throwing up is losing the game. But hey, it's more fun to lose than to refuse to play. Also, helping friends out and taking care of them while they are drunk is a pretty good bonding experience
>wake up feeling like you got ran over
There were parties where I've been drinking till I was unconscious and woke up without even a headache. Hangover is a meme if you know what you're doing. Stay hydrated, both during drinking and after you wake up. Also one good solution is to drink a bit (like 100-200ml) in the morning to make the "transition" to sobriety smooth.

There you go OP, drinking explained. Have fun!

To people who are really self-aware or always in there head, alcohol is a godsend.

I drink while listening to music. It's not bad.

>make an ass of yourself
Not if there's no one around to see you and you're drinking alone in a dark room

this user nailed it

or just smoke fuckloads of weed, get extreme anxiety and power through it so you can grow consciousness
lsd and mushrooms are great too

>Drink less then retard
He said he tried it once

I drink to lessen depression. Cheap shit is like $10 for just under 2L. I also drink a lot of water so I dont get a hangover
Also I only drink alone so I dont make an ass of myself. When I'm with others I'm the DD

This.
Besides I've never really been hungover, and that's coming from someone who at times have been to the hospital for over drinking, just because I can't feel it enough. I'm trying to reach a state with alcohol which is just not possible without alcohol poisoning

can confirm, I live in my head 100% of the time when I'm sober, can't even go outside anymore without a slight buzz to stop me overthinking everything

I want to warn you guys, drinking alone very quickly leads to alcoholism, you really don't want to go down that road. Don't act like you don't know about this, even I personally know a few people who destroyed their lives like this. Even if you're depressed to the point you don't mind dying, this is still a shitty way to go.

Please be careful guys.

I appreciate that you care and I'm pretty careful with it. I dont like the feeling, and I'd rather be doing something else to cope, but my mother is absurdly controlling so the only thing I can hide is drinking. She doesnt even like when I work out or I would do that.

>Sounds like fun.
Seems like you understand completely.

Thanks for caring GenuineAnon, but I'm okay, I'm only drinking to 'celebrate' finishing some work today. I'd usually only drink a few nights a week but tonight I'm having a bit more than usual. No interest in socialising so I'm drinking alone and browsing this board. Also, have a /comfy/ pic

Alcoholism is for the weak who only rely on alcohol for escapism.
I have anime and tv.
Most of the time I can't even be bothered to drink because I work closing shifts and get home like at 12. After dinner, it's really no point in drinking so I don't. Only when I want to feel a slight buzz will I have some whiskey.

Those people where fucked from the get go and you aren't the wise person you think you are.
It's called impulse control nigger.
Drinking alone doesn't lead to alcholism.

yeah, this doesn't always work. I gave myself an anxiety disorder (depersonalization) trying to do this.

It's plentiful, dulls the senses, and doesn't amplify my pre-existing psychosis and paranoia like weed does. CBD oil doesn't do a god damn thing for me.
If you can find me something just as easy to find let me know. Until then, alcohol is king.

Looks like you all think you know better than me, and I hope you're right. Just remember that addicts never admit they are addicted, it takes someone else to notice you have a problem.
Stay safe.

I also drink with friends, but they only drink on Fridays, I just want to drink more than them so I drink alone and with them

it's been covered before

but the succinct answer is:
for a short while, you are allowed to forget

the literal only time I drink is at work, its the only way I can work 40 hours a week and not come home and shoot myself

If you puke that night you wont get a hangover, idiot.

Fuck off.

As someone who is extremely self aware and extremely in my own head, I absolutely love my life and have every desire to live for as long as I possibly can although I do not fear death beyond the obligatory, biological flight or fight response.

The whole intelligence == > mental illness is a meme. The intelligence vs happiness chart is more like a upward facing parabola centered around average and above average.

Having the competency to make things happen in one's life is pleasing as hell, and there's nothing anyone can do to guilt trip me into wanting to numb these facets of my existence that I find beautiful.

Sobriety is amazing. Serotonin is amazing. You're keeping yourself from accessing the chemical necessary to be content and happy, but you're just not intelligent and self aware as you make yourself out to be to be able to realize that. Enjoy a life of mediocrity and trying to pull everyone down to join you in drowning yourself in short sighted dopamine highs.

Fuck off cunt. Drinking alone isnt as bad a you make it out to be. I do everything alone why should I suddenly do this one activity with others?

>Sobriety is amazing.
Greentext a day in your life. I'm genuinely curious how someone could ever think that

I'm generally capricious and fairly adaptive, but as a general scheme I work for a small local farm where I'm, for all intents and purposes, a crew leader. Today was my day off and I did some yoga, tinkered around with a Raspberry Pi project, listened to some podcasts, took my dog for a walk, did some bodyweight exercises, masturbated, worked on my garden, and shitposted on the Internet while listening to metal. I also am 25 and live with my parents for 4 days out of the week, and no I don't care. I also have never had a sexual/romantic partner and I also don't care about that either (I mean, I do, but life is otherwise pretty dope and it's nb).

Now I feel guilty for drinking by my self right now. I just love booze so much user, it started out as a hobby but now I don't know what to do with my evenings. To clarify, I am not dependent on alcohol and it isn't necessarily affecting my life negatively but I feel guilty about how much I enjoy alcohol, especially compared to how much I prefer it to being sober.

it's social lube, in a sense
