Drinking
Why would anyone want to drink something that tastes awful, so they can have a night of fun they probably won't remember, and wake up feeling awful?
If I'm gonna have a fun night, I want to remember it, not hear about it from others. And the risks are too great. Risk of doing something stupid I would never normally consider that could embarrass, injure, or kill myself or others.
If that's your idea of fun, more power to you, but I'll pass.
I think a lot of sweet things taste awful. But that doesn't mean I watch people drinking Coke and can't understand why they like it.
That's because taste is subjective. I only drink things I like. Do you really think people, other than teenagers experimenting, are drinking things they don't like?
And getting black out drunk, again young people aside, is not the aim.
I think you might be a bit sheltered. Not liking alcohol or drinking is fine and normal and should be encouraged for health reasons, but you've made some big assumptions about people.
That's how Alcoholism or movies works, not a night out with some social drinks. I rarely drink but I've never not remembered stuff. I'm introverted, so a few drinks does actually help me losen up a little and have a better time. But it's not healthy, so it's rare that I do.
