Speaking of alcohol, I never understood why people drink. It's damaging for the brain, it makes you stupid for a few hours and screws around with your memory. So why drink? does it taste good, feel good to be drunk? I drank beer on several occasions and it always tastes really bad. Now I know that's just personal opinion, but still. I might be wrong but I think that many people only drink because everyone does it. I hope I never start liking alcohol because I already do bad enough things to my brain as it is.
There are different types of alcohol.. lager is the most common, which is not to my tastes.. there's bitter, cider, and a huge array of different spirits (vodka, whiskey, etc). Some of them taste nice to different people, of course.. I drink cider, the apple-y one (not that it tastes apple-y). As to why they drink it, I don't know anyone that drinks alcohol that doesn't like the taste, and getting drunk makes you more talkative and makes you have more fun.
People that take drugs insist taking drugs is just like being drunk but safer, but all I see is them getting high and then being all paranoid about why night clubs are dark.
