Is getting drunk overrated? Options

[Spectatrix]

I don't see the point in getting drunk. I got drunk once and didn't think much of it... getting buzzed felt good, but getting to the point of "drunk" just kinda felt meh. I mean, you gradually lose control of your inhibitions (sometimes a good thing, admittedly) and motor functions and you often end up feeling like crap in the morning, even if you DIDN'T do something you regret.

Discuss.

I think it depends on your intention and state of mind.

regular every day fun/partying...having a few beers and maybe a couple shots and loosening up is all I want.

but if you're in a truly fucked up situation...drinking to oblivion is temporary solace from the pain. thinking too much about stressing out or getting wholly depressed can be worse for someone like me than just drinking a bottle of gin.

not the healthiest way to deal with shit...and I don't recommend it to anyone, because it can be habit forming. not me personally because I don't like being wasted all the time, but I'm certain that's how alchoholics are created.

but I have done it a few times in the past and it worked to get me over the barbed-wire hurdle.

to clarify...I think getting wasted is overrated for partying, but is a viable source of self-therapy.
