    It lowers inhibitions. Makes for good conversations, even though you'll end up repeating yourself. Makes dull people interesting... as long as you've had a few drinks too. Makes you attractive to the opposite sex and them more attractive to you. Enhances the mood of the night, though that can go either way, good or bad. To excess, people binge drink to escape from their reality, the crap 9-5 jobs they do. The proliferation of the English gene is mainly due to alcohol.

    does the Shift button not work on your keyboard? People drink alcohol because it makes them feel relaxed.

    Why do people do anything?

    Some people smoke,some drink,some eat the wrong food,some take drugs.

    That's the way things go I suppose.
