People binge drink ‘to get high’

You know, in all the time I spent as a Mod in this forum, I don't think I ever stopped and thought about where these articles come from ... I mean, who writes this shit? Articles about people drinking alcohol for the pleasurable effects?
Mr. Juan Ameen (Arab Mexican?), you're about 2600 years too late homie.

Ahh, but now there's an investment aspect to it!
And how true it is; every dollar spent on a 24-oz can of malt liquor is a dollar not spent in the furtherance of capitalism. For shame, America!
But then again, if you hold stock in the companys you pour liquor $$ into, you're a patriot after all.

Don't mean to nit-pick but the article & conference is from Malta, hardly a capitalist epicentre of the world. No dollars there either ...

Maybe you are lying to yourself, but there is no question you can enjoy a good beer, a fine wine or and old scotch WITHOUT expecting to get drunk. Yes you can ENJOY the taste of various alcohols, all in moderation of course.

Maybe, but how come non alcholic beer isn't more popular? It tastes the same...

The fact of the matter is "social drinkers" or "casual" drinkers are just getting a little less "high" than those of us who like to cap the night off with a 6 pack Milwaukee's beast.

Wanna see a real "social" drinker? It's me when I go to a bar and don't feel like alcohol so I chill with friends and drink a Coke, I'm consuming fluids in a social setting. People who drink 4.9 cocktails in a bar so they have an exscuse to talk loud and hit on girls are not social drinkers, they're lightweights ;)

Non-alcoholic beer tastes terrible, it's like drinking water. It in no way tastes like a good beer.
 
I believe both sides of the argument contain truth. Yes alot of people will consume alcohol with absolutely no intention of having more than a couple of units at the most in that day. They are obviously not seeking to get drunk, and for the most part are drinking the substance for the taste. However, malice is right, you still get the mild effects of alcohol when you only drink a little bit, and for most people, this is at least part of the pleasure of drinking. I know my mother only has a glass of wine or two a day, but afterwards she is a little more friendly, bubbly, and endearing. She is very much mostly drinking for the taste, but these mild alcoholic affects are part of the experience, a part that she enjoys.

So to conclude, nearly everyone drinks for both the taste and the effects, but a select few will drink purely for one or the other.

Interesting, if that's true I stand corrected. Don't know enough chemistry to argue with you, but Erowid classes it as a phenethylamine and specifically says it's "controlled as a phenethylamine derivative under the Misuse of Phenethylamines Law." (Link)

It used to be sold in Holland before they decided it was an MDMA analogue, so I would have thought the same companies would be selling it here if it was legal?
 
Well if they think alcohol gets you "high", and it's legal... Maybe they need to legalize other drugs since all they are doing is getting someone "HIGH", like alcohol 8(

Is alcohol water soluble? I would like to sniff it in order for the high to hit me faster.

Either that or can anyone please post a method of freebasing alcohol, I just got a new pipe and I wanted to smoke that shit.:p
