Let’s be realistic.  The effects of alcohol produce such a neat feeling that people naturally gravitate toward this feeling.  In fact, some rather introverted individuals have a difficult time in social situations unless they get a mellow “buzz” from drinking a few alcoholic beverages.  True to our human nature, when we experience something that is enjoyable, we want more of the same thing.  And also true to our human nature, when we overdo something that is pleasurable, we either get tired or bored of the same thing or, in the case of substances that can become addictive, we build up a tolerance for the item in question.  What this means is that we need more and more of the substance or activity in order to experience the same “high.”  Yes, the initial good feelings of drinking alcohol are a strong attraction.  But we must practice good judgment and common sense because we know that if we “go to the well” of alcohol too often, then we run the risk of developing a host of damaging and unhealthy outcomes.
