Scientists examined some of the reasons as to why people drink alcohol. Of course, some of these reasons can be personal - a special occasion, habit, outing with a loved one, or Friday evening.

However, these are all specific occasions. It is important to consider what a person’s motivation is when they drink during these times. What is it that they want to achieve?

This study is not simply about those who are alcoholics. Scientists in this study were interested in the behavior of all drinkers without exception, even if a person drinks only once a year and solely for serious matters.

Scientists believe that this will help reduce the consumption of alcohol around the world. They suggest that the next time you drink, think about why you decided to do it. There are many people who drink before going to bed to relax. There are those who drink with friends. But if you drink because you want to forget about your problems, then drinking is not your best option. It may help to remember that all the problems you want to forget about when you drink will still be there when you are sober again.

And now, more information about all four reasons. The first is...

My father was a drunk and my mother was an alcoholic - so I learned early to stay away from the stuff.

SIDENOTE: My mother - who was the worst alcoholic I've ever known, and *not* a strong person - eventually overcame her addiction to alcohol and has lived a blessed life since that time. If she can overcome, I can assure you that anyone can overcome.

Why do you drink alcohol and what does it give you?

It gives me relief from the guilt over all the blogpimps I've harmed.

And those I'm about to harm.

Does your alcohol drinking fall into one of these four categories? Why do you drink alcohol and what does it give you?

Do you eschew alcoholic beverages? Why do you abstain and for what reason?

People drink primarily because they like the effect....

Because on the weekend nothing beats the taste of a fine wine or a nice dram of bourbon/whiskey/scotch. And on a hot day after work or play, nothing beats an ice cold beer.

Soda is disgusting. Coffee and tea have their purposes and time. Plain tap water is the daily drink.
