There are many reasons why I drink.
I love a good glass of wine or a good beer with a meal. Especially when it has been expertly paired with the food.
Sometimes when I come home from work I like a nice gin and tonic or a pastis. It is a nice way to end the day and unwind.
When I am out clubbing (like I do this anymore) I like the effects of alcohol. I like getting drunk (not pissed). It losens inhibitions, let's me get a bit off the hook. I don't like going overboard. Getting smashed isn't fun. I just (well used to) like riding the wave.
I especially enjoy going to a pub and haning out with friends. Having a couple pints, talking shit to one another or getting intensely person or getting political... A pint is just a part of that... doesn't need to be, but I enjoy it's precense as much as some enjoy a cigar or a scotch.
...and then sometime I drink to remember and some times to forget.
