Why Do People Find Drinking Fun?

Question by Jimmy FU!: Why do people find drinking fun?
This is how I see it. People who find drinking fun can be grouped into 3 types:

(This is mainly about young drinkers.)

1. People with such depressing and sad lives that they need to become drunk and forget about reality to feel better.

2. People who wants to seem mature and therefore, drinks to tell people that they can because they’re old enough. Or, the equivalent for underaged drinkers would be people who want to seem cool and rebellious and drink to show that they don’t care about the law / their parents.

3. People who are extremely self-conscious and drink in order to become less self-conscious so that they can enjoy themselves.

Yes or no? Opinions?
Yes, about the relieving stress and bonding.

Why can’t people bond and be friends without the effects of alcohol? Because they need alcohol to relieve their stress and social awkwardness.

That goes back to number 1 then, where they have such stressful lives that they need alcohol to relieve themselves to feel better.

Doing dumb things is fun. Ok, fair enough. But people can do dumb things without being drunk. Yet, they’re afraid and self-conscious about doing dumb things. Thus, they need alcohol. See number 3.
I never said drinking was not fun, I’m just questioning why it is fun. Also, just because something is pessimistic does not mean it is not true.

Relaxing with alcohol. Ok, but what are you relaxing from? You must be stressed initially to need to relax. And if that relaxing must be done with alcohol, doesn’t that mean you fit into 1 or 3?

Note: You can hang out with your friends even without drinking alcohol.
