Why is being drunk so fun?

Question

ohsheeT · Accepted Answer

Because you haven't got to the point of realizing what it's really doing to you.

It's fun because you don't have to care you don't have to think you don't have to be responsible

There could become a point to where your body craves it and when that happens it's no more fun

So all I have to say is just do it responsibly because before you know it no matter how much control you think you have over it you actually don't but a point in time will come that your body craves it and that's when all the fun stops so do it responsible be responsible with it

because alcohol wipes out common since, removes inhibitions (it's not called liquid panty remover for nothing), removes social constraints and reasonability, it makes you plain not care, plus you feel great at the time, it affects your thought processes like thinking you're God's gift to the opposite sex and you can fight the world and win, that ten you hooked up with the next day is really a two. Some of the most memorable mistakes are made while drunk, some are damn funny and you laugh later and some you never get over. But it's fun and you'll do it again.

The buzzed feeling is part of the chemical reaction of ethanol in your body. It depresses parts of your nervous system, which is fine at the beginning but as you become more exposed to it, it does more damage and it actually ends up just depressing you as your nervous system loses its ability to function. It’s all well and good to have fun but be mindful, always have a DD and be careful of your drink intake compared to your body weight.

I mean, getting drunk feels like you are putting your brain on idle. Only the basic functions are allowed to be working. You laugh at simple things. No over thinking. No creeping thoughts of doubt or worry. You are giving all of that a time-out.

Elliegirl · Answer

I honestly have no idea *specifically* why. It’s not something that can be explained generally. It varies from person to person. I think there are some common reasons why. Inhibitions are lowered, things that might not be funny can be, it can help be more social, it can help forget about stressors for a time, it can feel good until it doesn’t. I met some friends because we were drinking together and started talking. But I also danced on a coffee table in nothing but my thong at a house party because of too many margaritas (would not do that sober! fun at the time, but the next morning was hell!) So there are pros and cons.

Kelley1 · Answer

It is not fun. How is it fun, to get sick enough to throw up, have an awful headache, and wake up feeling that your brain if full of cobwebs? Regret

nolabels · Answer

Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't.

I've had lots of fun being under the influence of alcohol.
I've also had the opposite of fun being under the influence of alcohol.

To me, the suppression of inhibition is why it CAN be fun.

It doesn't always work out that way, though.

Zack-Bann · Answer

It’s the sex. Always the sex.

Case and point being you’re less likely to wanna get shitfaced if you’re alone or with a small group of friends you don’t intend on getting with.

Then you have the people with drinking problems, those are just trying to outrun the demons

HawkPerception · Answer

Because it inhibits the part of your brain which controls impulses. It literally loosens you up. It's called liquid courage for a reason. You're more likely to just do what you want to do and say what you want to say. That's why there's a saying that peoples true character comes out.

Truth is I personally find that alcohol brings out the best me as well.

DryGermanGuy · Answer

It's not, at least not for me. A slight buzz (two beers) is the maximum I like.

Also, do yourself a favor and observe the aging (physically and mentally) of people that are constantly drinking, long-term. You don't want to do that to yourself.

Old_Plastic_Crow · Answer

It's fun when you are young. Later it's call social. After it's a problem. Then alcoholic. And last, dead. Fun, huh?

Nikki1989 · Answer

It is a holiday for the brain, I guess.

JSkye · Answer

I can't speak for others, but I only drink when I am already happy. With that in mind, being drunk lowers my inhibitions and gives me some liquid courage to have an even better time 😅

Rated · Answer

It's really not lol. At least not to me. I drink once maybe every several months and have been blackout maybe 6 times. Never found it that great despite my parents swearing that alcoholism runs in my family. It does seem like girls especially really enjoy being drunk though. My girlfriend says it's because she loses her insecurities.

Natasha1995 · Answer

I prefer not to be drunk. A couple of glasses of wine if ok, but that's about it. I'd rather be sober and remember the things I've did, than to have to rely on others to tell me.

Caroline91 · Answer

It really depends on how you do it and to what degree. I think totally sober is a lot more fun, although I tend to have so much fun that people sometimes think I'm drunk!

frenchgirl123 · Answer

It gives you the excuse to do the things you always wanted to do/express your hidden desires. And you can blame it on the alcohol, and 'pretend' you don't remember anything.

Sevenpointfive · Answer

because your brain inhibitors don't react normally. chemically, you aren't thinking straight. i don't believe crime while drunk should = crime while sober. yet it's the same

Curmudgeon · Answer

It temporarily numbs the pain of Life. But as @kelley1 pointed out, that catches up with you...

jojouzumaki · Answer

I don’t drink, so i don’t have an idea.  Though, I’ve seen some and I think they are more talkative or euphoric and more confident. They seem to be really happy.

Ladsin2 · Answer

Ask the booze. I love it. Quiets all the nonsense. I think I use it as an off-label ADHD medication.

QuietRunner · Answer

the barrier between what you want to do and what you are doing is removed so all the fun things you want to do you are more likely to do

elaphe · Answer

I think some people like it because it gives them an excuse for poor behavior (e. g., next day "walk of shame"). I knew a guy who used grab women when he had been drinking. He blamed the booze for his inappropriate behavior.

Kayleigh2005 · Answer

Omg, getting some hot guy weekly to start and not paying for it either

LiamJHayden · Answer

I have hated the very few times I was drunk. Now I will drink, at most, one glass of wine on New Year's Eve or my birthday, or a shot of Sherry before bed when I have a cold.

SixFootSexy · Answer

It's enjoyable but veryyy hard on your body/brain/liver. Alcohol is mild poison.

slatyb · Answer

Oh, I hate being drunk. I don't even like being buzzed.

RHK36 · Answer

It's okay. Those effects you feel are your body reacting to literally poison. Cannabis is way better with less side effects.

ProbablyClueless · Answer

I actually never particularly enjoyed the feeling, myself.

LiamS95 · Answer

Is it really fun to destroy your brain cells and ruin your liver which is responsible for about 1000 bodily functions.

AydenHazor · Answer

Because it lowers our inhibitions and allows us to do what we want without the filter of what is "acceptable"or expected of us

Anonymous · Answer

Getting a little buzzed can be fun, but getting too drunk is not fun at all

onedarkcloud · Answer

Because you do some STUPID THINGS that you would not do sober.

disappoint3d · Answer

Luckycharms12 · Answer

beefcakebradybatson · Answer

I guess using it as an excuse to spew your sober, dumb "thoughts."

EnjoytheDay777 · Answer
