Why do you drink alcohol?

[Anonymous]

With all the information about alcohol causing cancer, Parkinson’s, wrinkles, anxiety, why do you still drink it? What makes you risk your health? Does it make you feel so good that it’s worth the risks?

I like the way it tastes, it’s a nice evening ritual, and something will get me eventually. Not too worried about it.

Because I am comfortable with the risks of having one or two drinks a month. It's not like I'm the epitome of clean eating, anyway.

Humans are social creatures who partake in social experiences. Occasional alcohol is not grossly unhealthy. Btw “wrinkles” is not on the level of Parkinson’s and cancer…lol

Yes. Are you being deliberately obtuse?

There is a difference between a couple of drinks a month vs. a couple of drinks per day. Same as pesticides in non-organic foods, etc. etc. It is all in the dosing. For most people, it is a habit.

Hardly. I just think you’re a dumbass.

I do a lot of things that are unhealthy. I ate processed foods and I’ve been taking birth control since I was a teen which has way higher percentage of cancer risk.

What is your obsession with this one specific thing?

Life is hard, OP. Some people like to unwind a bit in different ways than you might. It’s not about you.

I drink very occasionally, maybe 2-5 times in a month. I do it as a special way to relax after a particularly tough day, or on vacation to get into the spirit of it a bit. I do not believe my alcohol intake is likely to be associated with much difference in health outcomes. I eat healthy and get a lot of exercise and am very content with my lifestyle choices.

NP. Oh, come on. You come in with a provocatively worded question. Don’t be surprised when people clap back. It’s manifestly clear that you just want to bag on people who drink in order to bolster your low sense of worth.

I know some people who eat healthy food and exercise but they get drunk every night of their lives. Weird.

NP

but the question is obtuse look at the alcohol industry. It’s huge.

I suspect that OP is a child of an alcoholic or her alcoholic, or has had an alcoholic destroy their life in someway and just can’t comprehend why anybody would take one sip if that could be the outcome.

Reality is, she probably needs therapy not a question on the Internet.

Having a drink does not equal getting drunk.
