I have never been drunk in my life. I do not enjoy alcohol. It does nothing for me - nothing mind altering, nothing pleasant. Well, wine sometimes has a pleasant taste, but I can live without it. Fruit tastes better. Brandy gives a pleasant "burning" sensation in the throat - nice, but again I can live without it. Nothing to make me understand how people cannot live without it.

What does it do to you that draws you in? If you self-medicate, what feelings does alcohol cause? What sensations?

If you are addicted, how do you experience it? What makes it impossible to stop after a small dose?
