I don't understand. Why is this fun?

I asked people why drinking promotes "fun", and they all responded "it just does."
Easy. Alcohol is one of the "downers", meaning it makes the metabolism work slower. Fear and depressive thoughts and emotions get rarely noticed anymore (also, you move slower).
And basically, more dopmamine will hit the respective receptors which will make your brain pour out the happy hormones.
Edit: Social drinking actually is in fact one of the oldest traditions of humankind.

That being said, I don't enjoy weed. I have tried it multiple times, all it did was made me really lazy and okay with being lazy. Very unproductive.

Even so, I still don't believe in it. It's personal. I felt disgusted one time when my cousin told me that I was "brainwashed" because I don't drink. For me, there are other ways to have "fun" without alcohol.

I agree wholeheartly. When you are at a point where you cannot enjoy life without drugs anymore, you've definately failed somewhere by my book. But at the same time, drugs are a perfectly fine way of enjoying life. And in the case of social drinking I think it's a perfectly valid way of taking social interactivity to another level, whatever that level might be percieved as.
With drugs I mean alcolhol, cigs, and the illegal stuff.

While I don't drink alcohol, I do enjoy my caffeine. Caffeine is technically a drug.

Dude, I'm the same exact way. I've never drank alcohol, never smoked, and never done drugs. I always tell people that I see other ways to have fun at a party other than messing with my health and mental well being. To me, drinking isn't fun, smoking isn't fun, doing drugs isn't fun. It's just a waste of my time and is not worth the risks.

Aw s***, I'm a drug addict. :P

Since I'm an antisocial freak, I rarely attend parties nowadays. I just don't like them, honestly, even before I started avoiding high interaction with people face to face. I just shuffled awkwardly in the corner drinking soda for the whole thing.
Drugs, man, iunno. I'm under-age, so I can't give an honest opinion.
For alcohol, I've actually drank some alcoholic drinks before, and thought they tasted so bad. :X

It all depends on the person, I guess?

If you're worried about safety then drink in a safe environment. Rather than drinking out in town where you might get run over or bashed or something, drink at home with some friends. It's not like getting drunk will make you think blending knives is a good idea - if you know that's a bad idea when you're sober you'll still know it when you're drunk. Just have some drinks, play some games, laugh your ass off, annoy the neighbours, then pass out on the couch... and regret it in the morning All part of the fun though.

You really should try this stuff before you make any judgments. Like, yeah, there can be bad things done to your health if you over-do the stuffs, but you're body can tolerate a lot of abuse. It can definitely survive a test run for experiments sake.
The big thing is just don't go into it being stupid. I know it makes you more stupid, and perhaps I'm one of the lucky ones, but I've never had a problem with making relatively good decisions while intoxicated. Drink lots of water while drinking booze, don't shotgun five beers in two minutes, do things that you find fun when your not drunk, always drink in a friendly, warm environment, and never because you're depressed, or with depressed people.
I will say though, pot heads are really boring in my experience. Like, I can get spending a afternoon getting high and relaxing, but I haven't the foggiest idea why people do it at parties or larger get together. They always run off to some secluded room like a really bad secret club and spend the rest of the night up there while everyone else shrugs and keeps dancing/laughing/parading the mood. Sorry pot heads
