People like to pretend they don't drink to get drunk so they have one more thing they can look down on others for.

I enjoy drinking and getting drunk is sometimes the end result .

Getting drunk just for the sake of it is fun for many , for may others it's a need to temporally escape from problems .

I think many people are inbetween and drink for both reasons above .

Some people just like a drink

So how much do you drink then?

I because if it's at least 6 pints would you ever drink 3 liters of any non-alcoholic drink in one day for no reason?

What if you drink to enjoy yourself more?

I like having a few drinks with my mates with the intention to relax and have a good time, if that means I get drunk then grand, if not I still have fun and enjoy myself either way.

What else do you drink for, thats why your not supposed to drive, because drink makes you drunk? silly topic....

Rented Mule

How else are you supposed to get your hand in the mood ?

I usually drink to enjoy the drink. Not because I intend on getting drunk. Pretty pointless drinking just to get drunk IMO.

You should try J.D and coke:D. I'd agree with the op though,if you don't want to get at leat a bit tipsy then there is no point in drinking.

Generalissimo

"Alcohol, my permanent accessory
Alcohol, a party-time necessity
Alcohol, alternative to feeling like yourself
O Alcohol, I still drink to your health

...

I thought that Alcohol was just for those with
nothing else to do
I thought that drinking just to get drunk
was a waste of precious booze
But now I know that there's a time
and there's a place where I can choose
To walk the fine line between
self-control and self-abuse"

- Alcohol, Barenaked Ladies

OP reminded me of that song for some reason.

It depends on the occasion. If it's with the lads on a night out yeah I get really drunk.

But if it's a socialable night I'll drink to not get drink.

I'd like to be doing it right now.

epgc3fyqirnbsx

This is why we drink to get drunk

df1985

depends on the situation-night out, yeah i drink to get ****ed

night in, like right now, im having just 2/3 beers because theyre nice.no intention on getting drunk.

viclemronny

I'd say it depends on what you define as drunk. Different people class different levels of inebriation as "drunk". As in some would go tipsy->merry->getting there->half cut->drunk. Others may say on the way->drunk->smashed->a disgrace.

Personally, I drink to feel the effect of alcohol. It takes the edge off reality just nicely. Anyone who just has a drink to 'relax' is lying. If they wanted to relax, then they could do it without alcohol. If the say that sometimes they like a drink, then it's because they like the effect of alcohol.

Everyone drinks to alter their mood/perception/etc. To what extent they do so and to what they consider drunk determines whether or not they 'drink to get drunk'.

Just polished off a medium sized bottle of Jameson straight, and i'm still sober.

lil'bug

i'm not a big drinker myself if i do drink i'll just have the 1 i hate the taste of beer so i'd have cider or vodka and orange

This come down to nature and nuture.

I agree with drink.

Same here. And I'll get funny looks if I say something like that. Besides, my booze tolerance has hit rock bottom, I've had one beer tonight and I'm feeling tipsy already. But if I want to get mad, then I'll drink like a sponge and get twisted.

You are my hero. All hail king Jameson

If its out for a few pints for a chat or to watch a match then getting drunk is not the aim, although these nights have ended up being drunkin nights.

Going out on a Saturday night Id be lying if getting locked by the end of the night was not the general plan for me and most of my friends. I hate that feeling when you check the time in the club and its 15 mins till they stop serving and your not drunk enough. A few quick jagers and a straight Jameson or two usually solve the problem .

hon pa

exactly, theres no alcoholic drink that I actually prefer the taste of rather then a soft drink or something. I usually drink just to fairly drunk or until my money runs out,which is most of the time..

Krusader

I never aim to get drunk, it's only when i'm drunk i want to get more drunk

Cupcake_Crisis

I only go out drinking about once a week because i know i drink to get drunk! I tend to feel like i havent done my job right if i come home sober

You cant get laid on your computer:p(well other then a palm sandwich but that doesnt really count)

I drink for two reasons I love beer and I love being drunk.
However if you end up being locked and not remembering the night thats fooking pointless

And i smoke until i'm sensitive.

YouTalkinToMe

Yes, I drink. I’m a drinker. There are many reasons. Do any of them matter? Not really. Not as long as I can get my lips on something that’s gone through the fermentation process. A tankard of ale. A tumbler of scotch. A bathtub of mead. I’m a hard liver. And consequently, I have one. I take my drinking seriously. I get upset when I hear Eric Burdon sing “Spill the wine.” I’ve made arrangements to be cremated and my ashes kept in a Smirnoff bottle. There are many excuses for why I drink. I drink because alcohol makes me feel better. I drink because my local bartender needs to pay off his creditors. I drink because everyone from Bogart to Bukowski to the entire cast of the Bible drank.

That's bollocks. I haven't been properly drunk in several years but I still drink regularly because I like the taste of my drinks. I've been in awful states of drunkenness before and freely admit it (in this very forum) so I have no business looking down on anyone. These days, I drink to enjoy myself, which doesn't necessarily involve large amounts of alcohol.

The problem when I drink to get drunk is that when it comes time for me to drive home, I have to ask a passer-by to hold the car steady so that I can get the key into the door lock.
Going to get me one of those new 'proximity keys' that the car will start when the key's just in my pocket...

I drink to improve my driving skills.
