When I was an adolescent, I thought the point of drinking was to get drunk. But every time I got really drunk, I got sick. Puking your guts out and having hangovers is not fun.
When I grew up, I realized that drinking good things for the pleasure of the taste is where it's at. I eventually discovered the pleasure of good wines, other beverages, and mixed drinks.
I don't drink very often but, when I do, it's for the taste. The resulting buzz can be pleasant, too, but I rarely get very drunk. I know how to pace myself and to quit when I'm ahead.

Alcohol tastes bad to me even my favourite Vodka still just tastes bleh and hence why i typically drink cocktails just to rid the taste of alcohol as much as possible.
So when I drink it's only for one purpose to get drunk or at least almost so.
I used to drink frequently and in moderate to high quantities when I was younger. It was part of having fun and being social/dating.
After I grew up and met my husband, I really reduced drinking to the point that I don't really like it. Especially since I had kids.
Just to enjoy. I never get drunk (and never have). If it's a good drink I enjoy the taste and buzz of it. I like the sweet fruity drinks the most.

No alcoholic will say they need to drink otherwise they feel sick, they will all tell you they do it for joy.
For me is alcohol just a social lubricant, I don't drink often, rarely much and I don't drink with everyone.I used to drink to relax but sometimes I would overdo it. I gave it up over 20 years ago. If I drank that much today they would probably put me in rehab but back then I didn't drink any more than most of my friends
I only drink in groups so for me it´s part of having a good time plus it helps me open up. In my case the prejudice of being drunk makes a person more talkative works.
I never want to be drunk. When I do have a drink it's to enjoy the moment, the flavor, and the buzz is nice too.
to get drunk or at least a bit tipsy usually. sometimes can also be for the taste if its one of those stuff that doesn't taste that alchoholy (but usually i dont drink it for that reason cos stuff that taste good is too expensive for me)
A mix of both although I rarely get smashed loke maybe 3 times in my life
It depends if I'm on Black label then I'm getting drunk ditto cider filled summer days
Other stuff is to relax or enjoy and savor which is most common for my drinking

After work I have double shot. And I sip it slowly. 💞
No I don't
I have probably 4 drinks the whole year and they are always a CesarI enjoy the taste, I savor it.
I can get myself tipsy, but I don't enjoy being drunk.
I drink to enjoy it. I actually prefer only a slight buzz if anything.
Actually, a little of both. I don't have to get drunk, just a little "buzzed". Now at my age I can't cope with much drinking, but I still enjoy the odd beer.
I do drink couple of beers, but my girlfriend and her mom love drinking as well as social smoking.
Drink while having sex.
Neither. Typically I do it to shut the people who are drinking up. Because when people drink they want you to drink with them. And while I don't like most alcoholic drinks I dislike thier yammering about why I'm not drinking even less.🤣
To relax and enjoy it. Maybe a little buzz
I don’t really drink. I’m more of a weed smoker.
I just love chilling out with it.
I enjoy getting drunk
There's a time and place for both
Enjoy it
