I drink for a number of reasons... I think. *thinks*
I'll drink when I'm in a good mood and feel like having even more fun than I already am.
I'll drink when someone else is buying, oh hell yeah!
About... maybe once a year I'll have a severe emotional crisis or something close to it at least that I just am not dealing with -at all- so I'll pick a liquor that I know treats me well, and drink it straight, drink it fast, and drink it on an empty stomach. The result is that all of my mental barriers come crashing down, and as miserable as a drunk that I turn into at that point, I feel MUCH better by the time I'm sober again.
