Why do people drink?

It helps them to relax
It gives them confidence
It helps them to sleep
It helps reduce anxiety
It stops them worrying about things
To deal with stress
To deal with panic attacks
To deal with boredom
Because they are depressed
Dependant on it
To counter-act withdrawal symptoms
Because everyone around them is drinking (friends & / or family)
Its what’s done around here (community or environment)
Part of the job (chef, bartender, salesman, businessman)
Peer pressure – feel they have to
Its cool
Its grown up
To get drunk
Gives them a buzz
It's fun
To socialise
They enjoy it
Like the taste


Bad Bad Reasons.
