The appeal of alcohol is that it makes it hard to think. When you're not thinking, you're being. Since your thoughts becomes way too slow to catch up to the present moment, there is no choice but to do whatever it is you want to do at the moment. This is freedom that very few individuals have experienced in their sober life on a consistent basis. The freedom to be without fear of what people will think or what the future will bring, or what the past brought for that matter.
