Why do we get high and drink? - GoFuckYourself.com

StickyGreen · 02-22-2006, 08:23 PM

and i don't mean like a specific individual's reason for getting drunk like they have a certain problem or whatever...i mean why do we as a human race like to get high or drunk? we've been doing it throughout history...

Harmon · 02-22-2006, 08:23 PM

Because it's fun to get fucked up and not feel like ourselves. It really is that simple.

Nicky · 02-22-2006, 08:25 PM

Hmmm, since im drunk right now I can anser you! The feeling of total freedom, we feel that we can do whatever we want

i get you on the not feel like ourselves thing, but i don't think it's that simple...

Thomas1007 · 02-22-2006, 08:28 PM

because life can be tedious, boring and otherwise a pain in the ass.
Thats why I drink.

Bastone · 02-22-2006, 09:31 PM

to make us do things we wouldn't do if we were sober...which reminds me, it's been a while since i've been drunk! who wants to get tanked?

PixeLs · 02-22-2006, 09:39 PM

Because it's hard to break away from the norm..

woj · 02-22-2006, 09:44 PM

Because it's fun brings, brings us pleasure, etc

BusterBunny · 02-22-2006, 09:48 PM

...endorphins..

High Plains Drifter · 02-22-2006, 09:48 PM

cause you never know... when you're gonna go...

Downtime · 02-22-2006, 10:18 PM

why the fuck not?

Diligent · 02-22-2006, 11:38 PM

Drinking is my preferred kind of entoxication, only get close to being wasted in serious partying though.

I believe BusterBunny got real close to the reason but.. I think it's "Serotonin".
It's behind most of our "repeat likings"; sugar, snacks, sex, gambling, You name it.

taibo · 02-22-2006, 11:42 PM

cause i fucking love it?

Spunky · 02-22-2006, 11:44 PM

Cause we can..more to life but I like to escape from reality

SilentKnight · 02-23-2006, 01:29 AM

Cigs are my only vice left.

I've already paid for too many executive lounges at various Canadian breweries over the years.

Dopamine is commonly associated with the pleasure system of the brain, providing feelings of enjoyment and reinforcement to motivate us to do certain activities. Dopamine is released (particularly in areas such as the nucleus accumbens and striatum) by naturally-rewarding experiences such as food, sex, use of certain drugs and neutral stimuli that become associated with them. This theory is often discussed in terms of drugs (such as cocaine and amphetamines), which seem to be directly or indirectly related to the increase of dopamine in these areas, and in relation to neurobiological theories of chemical addiction, which argue that these dopamine pathways are pathologically altered in addicted persons. However, cocaine and amphetamine have different mechanisms of action. Cocaine is a dopamine transporter blocker: it competitively inhibits dopamine uptake to increase the lifetime of dopamine. On the other hand, amphetamines act as dopamine transporter substrates to competitively inhibit dopamine uptake and increase dopamine efflux via a dopamine transporter.

uno · 02-23-2006, 02:07 AM

Almost every species on earth has found a way to inebriate itself. It's natural.

reynold · 02-23-2006, 02:15 AM

because it's part of human nature...

BAKO · 02-23-2006, 02:23 AM

i love getting fucked up

com · 02-23-2006, 02:29 AM

It's a euphoric experience. Why do we like sex? Hell even apes are known to consume intoxicating vegitation for recreation.

que que!

reed_4 · 02-23-2006, 03:22 AM

It's one way to give our self a break from all day's hard work.

everestcash · 02-23-2006, 05:07 AM

1) going away from reality
2) 'team' spirit
3) tastes and feels good
4) other
not necessarily in that order.

je_rome · 02-23-2006, 05:15 AM

because it veers us away from reality... it's fun to get wasted at times.

ServerGenius · 02-23-2006, 05:17 AM

dunno why but do know that I do

nofx · 02-23-2006, 05:25 AM

because reality is too harsh for most of us and we choose to escape it any chance we get.

Wiggles · 02-23-2006, 07:28 AM

its alot of fucking fun!

Kimo · 02-23-2006, 07:42 AM

recreation

Canibal-7 · 02-23-2006, 07:47 AM

Mostly becuase it's recreational.

But I believe everyone has their own reasons. I personally like to smoke weed because I find everything more fun when I'm high. I remeber a time when I use to smoke to do everything: take the bus, read a book, watch TV.

Years later I find myself doing the same, but I also try to enjoy life when I'm sober. I think you have to be able to enjoy life without drugs, no matter how difficult that may sound. Even though I take drugs, I don't think it's a healthy habit.

A few years ago my psychologist told me something I'll never forget. We were talking about my addiction and he told me that, of all his patients (and he had many), about 95% of them were in treatment due to some sort of drug problem.

Jakke PNG · 02-23-2006, 07:49 AM

I drink wine because the water over here is basically raw sewage. Also, wine makes the blisters and boils easier to handle. No wait, that was in 1606.

Jakke PNG · 02-23-2006, 07:50 AM

I'm immortal, immoral, impotent and important.

Sarah_Jayne · 02-23-2006, 08:48 AM

I've never been high in my life and only drunk once. Sometimes I wonder what I am missing but mostly I can't be bothered to find out.

Porn Girl · 02-23-2006, 08:53 AM

Lets face it, drinking is fun. Cigarettes is what I do not understand.

Agent 488 · 02-23-2006, 09:22 AM

why not?

tho seriously - if you wanna know it wouldnt hurt to smoke a j and read this entire site:

Bryan G · 02-23-2006, 10:02 AM

Its fun to see how possibly fucked up one can become !!

Oracle Porn · 02-23-2006, 10:08 AM

because everyone loves the feeling that the body/mind itself can't produce.

detoxed · 02-23-2006, 11:05 AM

because in nature we have things that naturally help or cure medical and mental stress. all the man made drugs are bullshit, and what makes people "fucked up"

possibly the mix of mcdonalds, marijuana, and smog, make you go insane? who knows..... but I know smoking pot doe just fine for me and helps keep my mind going slow enough for my body to keep up.

detoxed · 02-23-2006, 11:06 AM

I smoke weed only, cigarettes are disgusting you stupid fucks.

Bruce_Miller · 02-23-2006, 11:07 AM

Because, drunk chicks dig me

tristan_D · 02-23-2006, 07:11 PM

we need to give in to the voice of madness from time to time

Martin · 02-23-2006, 07:20 PM

I smoke the erb. Make me feel good. Makes me think. Makes me relaxed. (Unless I get t0o stoned and Im in public) lol

gornyhuy · 02-23-2006, 07:22 PM

I really need to get into da herb... I bet I'd love it too much and lose all motivation.

WME · 02-23-2006, 07:50 PM

its about going against your own inhibitions and feeling free
