I drink to get drunk.
Sometimes having a couple is fun, sometimes having a bunch is better, but you pay. I'm too busy to be hung over most of the time. So I have to catch a nice buzz and let it wear down a bit before crashing.
I also don't drink during the week as a rule, and I haven't drank near as much on the weekends as I used to. Most people grow out of the getting drunk at every chance.

drinking not to even get a buzz is dumb in my mind. drink water or juice or something else, its cheaper.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - In contrast to the beneficial effects of moderate alcohol intake on the heart, higher levels of alcohol consumption are linked to calcification of the coronary arteries, researchers report.

Yes, it is cheaper, but......
I love the taste of alcohol. I love sitting back with a good pint of amber lager. I love how a good Rye adds a beautiful butterscotch/smokey hint to cola. I love how an extra dry martini with Belvedere or grey goose vodka is all alcohol, yet for some reason doesn't burn. I love the suttle complexities of a Shiraz or Pinot Noir. I love how a Gin and tonic made with Bombay Sapphire reminds me of summer.
Booze just tastes fucking great....end of story. I feel sorry for the poor bastards that get to drunk to even appreciate what they're drinking. The distillers and people who made your favourite drink spent years developing the flavours ...... too much hard work to be wasted on some drunk-ass...or in a toilet bowl at the end of the night.
Now, I'm not against getting drunk at all. I do it every weekend. But I go and buy a nice bottle, take my time, and enjoy it.
Will, my advice......as someone else said, just quitting cold turkey could be hard on your body (if your drinking is as bad as you make it out to be).....so I'd say, buy yourself a nice bottle of something you've never had before, do some research, and enjoy it in moderation. Don't be a drunk, be a connoisseur.....bitches love that shit B)

Lately there seems to be a lot of attention on using a Brita filter to purify hard booze in order to make it taste better. I just have to say that it works better than you can ever imagine. I ran some crappy tequila through the filter a few times, and the horrible taste is completely gone. Purified tequila just tastes like water with a really strong bite to it.
