Thats a good question because I know full well what a vile substance alcohol is and yet I still want to drink it. Alcohol makes people squander their money on things they don't need and alcohol makes people make dumb business choices. Alcohol makes people have affairs, and ignore their wives and children. Alcohol puts people in a state of mind where they are vulnerable, and if a person drinks enough they are completely open for attack. All this, for about 40 minutes of euphoria, followed by delusions about things that are not real, or exaggerated emotion. Alcohol sucks.
