Well, I do get drunk some time as well. But for me there is only one negative aspect of it: it's not healthy. It's poison, acute and chronic. Acute is not bad: just don't drink so much that you kill yourself and preferably not so much that you have to throw up. Chronically it damages your brains: mostly your memory. You tend to forget things more often and loose your orientation. But this is only getting a problem if you drink very often very much; with other words, when you have a drinking problem.
This problem with drinking counts for eveyone. Luckily for me it's the only negative aspect of alcohol(ic drinks). Other effects it has on me: I get more open, happier, cheerier - nicer for me and for the people around me. But this is when I am yet tipsy. When I'm really drunk I'm still happy, but ofcourse start to babble and do funny. Also very fun for the people around me.
And that's ok too. At my study everyone is drunk at a time, and then we laugh about those people.
Another thing I like with alcohol: drinking a lot with my girlfriend, alone. You should know how much you start enjoying each other.
I'm a student. Politicians see the alcohol consumption by students as a problem. Recently I talked to a friend of my parents who is a doctor. He himself said that the problem is not the students. There is a tendency: when you start at the university you start to get grown-up and can do whatever is right in your perspective. But you wanna have fun and with alcohol you can have fun (one form of fun). But when people are done with their study they usually quit drinking in that amount. I think the fun is a bit over then. Perhaps because you're just getting old. Or because you've seen the fun and it's always the same and it's getting boring. Anyway, students start drinking but stop with it as well after about 4/5 years. Problem-drinkers don't stop if they don't try. And they get drunk much more often. I only get drunk on occation. They daily.
I like alcohol. My girlfriend too. My fellow-students too. I just do what I like within certain borders: don't bug others and keep yourself healthy.
October, do you get this? Or is it stupid in your opinion? I've talked with more people who have your ideas. Some found me stupid, but most of 'em got the idea but didn't like it for themselves.
Oh, one more thing: Once when I got really drunk, I threw up in the bathroom (with the toilet one meter behind me
) and my mother had to clean it up. I was so ashamed, but she forgave me. Still don't know why. But this is one thing I'll always try to avoid. Throwing up is not fun in any case.
(That happened to be the night I met my girlfriend.
But our relationship started when we were sober though. )

I threw up for an hour straight and was sick the entire night.
