why do people like getting drunk?

Ah I made no such diagnosis; just the suggestion that it sounded likely. And it does sound likely. The vehemence with which I was assaulted tells its own tale – of denial.

Why would people eat anything other than Google Farms® Soylent Beige NutriCubes™?

Why do people move around using their lower appendages instead of hoverlifts?

Could someone explain the appeal of offline biosex with a non-engineered humanoid?

:confused:

I’ll just leave this here.

Maybe he was drunk when he posted that?

Well I did overreach; he had convinced me he had serious a serious problem and I still think so. It is not hard to see if one has one’s eyes open. Getting drunk even once is a serious business; a worrisome business; a dangerous business. This is what ought to be being emphasized here and it disappoints me that no one seems to be willing to do so. Nay it worries me that the message of alcoholism and its toll on lives on highways and personal relationships and so on is not getting through.

What a coincidence! You have convinced us you have a serious problem and we still think so. It is not hard to see if one has one’s eyes open.

Right. So that which you’ve been accused of was true. You were wrong.

You act as if the revelation that alcoholism is bad is truly eye opening to us all. Do you really think that needs to be said, as if no one else gets it?

You are being criticized for your tone deaf demeanor, your overstepping, your arrogance in dismissing valid complaints.

How are you confident from analyzing her post that she has a serious problem when you’re not even getting her gender right?

This site contends that the actual quote is:
*Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine, a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy.
*
That’s definitely a pro-wine statement, but the thing proving God’s love is the rain.

Same reason people do drugs.
Because being drunk feels damn good. No worries, happy, courageous (especially with women), etc…

Now if you’re question is about getting drunk to the point of vomitting…Then I guess most people dont control their liquor and dont do it on purpose.
Humans are not good at moderation

I used to love to drink, especially alone. Beer in the morning would help me clean the house in an obsessive way. I am so thankful than I lost that desire. I believe that an alcoholic can become not an alcoholic and it doesn’t take AA. I believe that AA is a cult. Transferring one addiction for another.

You’re thinking of AAA. Lotsa folks make that mistake.

This is out of line for this forum and you definitely should know better…so consider this a warning for you. Do not insult others outside of the Pit.

Sorry. Thought this was in the pit. I was drunk, as well.

How so? Could you explain your reasoning here? Of course getting drunk and attempting to perform certain activities that require a clear head and good hand/eye coordination can be dangerous but how is the act of getting drunk one time, on it’s own, worrisome and dangerous?

Ah, so using illegal drugs = good. Getting drunk once in a blue moon = bad.
Good to know where you stand.

Ugly people like sex too.

Unfortunately, that’s not a rare opinion.

?? It’s not?? Thinking that getting high off illegal drugs is ok but getting drunk is not isn’t a rare opinion? Cite?
