There are many reasons,to fit in,to experiment,to loosen up and have more fun,etc. I first drank out of pure curiosity,i wanted to know what it felt like. I had 3 or 4 beers and i LOVED it,it was like i didnt have a care in the world!

Why do so many people like to go to bars, get wasted, among other things.

Well,going to bars and getting wasted are two different things. I like(d) going to bars because you get the opportunity to meet all these new people,listen to music,hang with friends,its just a real fun loose atmosphere. You kinda feel like everyone there is one. Getting wasted,the reasons for doing that like i said are usually to experience what it feels like,peer pressure/to fit in,or just to loosen up and have more fun. People who dont like their life do it to escape reality,but a lot of things in life are like that (video games,music,overeating,doing drugs,etc.)

Also, what exactly "happens" to you when you get drunk? (I'm mean from a scientific and chemical standpoint.)
|
The alcohol gets into your bloodstream,and alcohol is drying,so it dehyrates you. What you feel are the effects of dehydration. You can feel the same way if you stay up for over 16 hours and dont drink anything. But it also affects your stomach and thats why you throw up if your body can't handle it.
