Not sure!. I've just opened another can of beer!. Might get back to youWww@QuestionHome@Com

When did inebriation become a must!. Where I live, most people believe that drinking alcoholic beverages will get you a one-way ticket to Hades!. However, local grocers and American Business College operators report that sales of liquid inebriation agents have hit record levels despite these dark times of economic recession!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Money is getting tighter!.
Global warming is becoming more of a recognisable threat, yet the corrective actions of the most influential people are insufficient!.
The media is distributing more and more sensationalist horror every day!. (Another terrorist plot, another "execution-style" killing, etc etc)
and we're becoming frightened!.
and we're hitting the bottle hard to drown our fears!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i think that your question is a collective fallacy!.!.you cant say that it is a must 4 every1 cos i rarely get drunk, neither do most of my friends!.!.we drink yes, but not to get drunk, i think u have to be pretty stupid to put urself in a postion were u have no control over wat u say or do!.!.!.i think the problem is a lack of self-control in soo many people these days!.!.not just regarding alcohol, but food, sex, drugs!.!.everything!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I honestly can't remember the last time I was drunk, or even tipsy so inebriation obviously isn't a must for everyone!.

I've been called a "saddo" or accused of "having no life" because I don't drink alcohol until I vomit, but I disagree with their conclusions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's a choice, not a necessity!.

However, it is not unique to our time!. Humans have always experimented with such things!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

maybe it's not a must!.!.!. but rather rampant!? probably because it is a source of temporary escapism from the stresses of modern life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Drunkenness is NOT a "must"; it is the result of atheists, weak-willed people who think they are greater than God!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It most certainly is not!. If anything, it is a choice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
