I eat food to improve my mood.
I go shooting to improve my mood.
I do lots of stuff to improve my mood.
Who cares why people drink?
Reason 5: The perfect dry martini is God’s gift to man and just
plain tastes good.
...and a good Scotch goes well with a good cigar!
Don’t forget (pun) that it can also be for gustatory and/or social lube purposes. The scientist is not the philosopher or theologian.
Brute force drowning of troubles to pretend they don’t exist is wrong, but easing through them while still proceeding constructively may not be wrong. It’s the difference between “don’t worry” and “don’t care.”
We have a multifaceted issue here.
Why, it makes me smarter, funnier and better looking.
Silly question!
I know someone who drinks heavily because she lost an election.
Why not post the entire piece from your site? Click baitin is not nice.
I drink to remember.

My nightly ritual when supplies are ample and the weather cooperates. Well, the cigar anyway. The Scotch requires no such cooperation from the weather.
Yeah, come home after a rough day and I have glass of wine to feel better. It often ends tragically. I have to get up the next morning, go back to work and experience another s4itty day.
Why do they want to reduce alcohol consumption?
Alcohol provides a whole wealth of benefits. This would include a multitude of jobs supporting the whole industry and good health benefits (physical, mental, spiritual). Even Jesus drank alcohol.
This whole demonizing items because ‘experts’ (paid propagandists with an agenda) needs to be called out and exposed wherever we see it.
I hardly drink. But this makes me want to get something just because now.

Alcohol cut a wide swath through my family but this article was dreadful——almost amateurish.

Yesterday was 67F! It was a great cigar day!
Today, was only a good Scotch day. 18F.
I almost never drink because I’d rather get my calories from potato chips or donuts, when I do drink, it’s wine having dinner with friends.
In my “yout”, I liked a good vodka martini up.
