There's more to it, though... it's addictive, and there's often group pressure or rather conformancy.

Yup... dating is a good area here. You can make a social faux pas and then say "my apologies, perhaps that last glass of wine wasn't a good idea". And get forgiven rather quickly. And actually I don't really like that part, which is one of the reasons I prefer 0.5%-2.5% beers.
- MeinBlutIstBlau 5y agoI have never been a part of a group that never was accepting of the fact that if you weren't out to get hammered, they weren't okay with it. What you're insinuating about the social aspect just sounds like a very shitty friend group to be around. Like people who you hang around with that encourage you to get into heroin basically. If you can't say no to that, maybe you have some self confidence issues and it's not the alcohol that's the problem.
