2. Others do them to forget a past memory or forget a secret, or they are very stressed out.
3. Some people are talked into doing them or they just want to do it. e.g. some of your friends drink or do drugs and they slowly talk you into doing it.
4. Some people drink it for enjoyment but what they don't know is it will make them want to have it for little reasons.
5. Some people think its cool even though it can make you do some un-cool things like talking weird, slurred or
