Why people drink?

Why do people drink? Oh ho! Let me point the finger towards me and ask why did I drink? I had my first and probably the last drink on 21 st Aug 08, on my friend's successful Ph.D. defence! Wow need to keep track of "dare" things that I do in my life right!...assuming that it matters somehow!

I had one drink, my best friend had two. We wanted to know how it feels getting drunk? What happened after that? How did it really feel? Someone wanted to know this and I couldn't tell right away what it was like. Not that I hadn't given it a thought, but because I knew his reaction. It takes time for me to digest my own conclusions sometimes!!

To be true, I found no pleasure in losing balance. I felt dizzy for 10 mins at the most, my friend felt dizzy for may be a little longer. Well aise hi kaha hosh mein rehte hai ke pi ke hosh gawaye! But I really think one ought to try it once atleast! You should know why you don't drink. Let us assume you get baited into having it by some weird crazy circumstance, what will you do then? Get addicted to it?

Find the reason why you don't want to drink! For me it was simple - "I find no pleasure in losing control over my body!" Call that a typical desi girl attitude or whatever! Infact, nobody will ever call that a "typical desi" attitude taking into consideration of how many desi girls around me have it on regular basis without any inhibitions.

Hurray! Ek baar hi sahi I could shout for fun "Talli ho ke girne se seekhi humne gravity!" By that rule, one can learn gravity only if one gets drunk! Beware of those who are good physicists, they must be quite drunkards too! I am a bad one for sure...now what follows what is upto you to decide. ;)
