Why did All Sorts of People Drink in Different Ways
Many of the requirements mentioned above, we can satisfy soft (not drug) ways - through mental self-regulation, through sport, through art, through self-improvement, through interaction, through positive emotions, etc.
Anyone who owns these methods better, he usually, and drink less, and vice versa. In addition, some of the above requirements are often formed artificially (eg, the need for long-term euphoria), their satisfaction becomes a way of silencing some very different needs, not currently udovletvarimyh.
Thus, a person who considers himself not a very clever and hides its (real or perceived) intellectual inferiority of the mask is closed and unsociable, may have an increased need for communication, which satisfies after taking the dose of alcohol.
This is something that concerned only drinkers, that is to alcoholics (people already sick), then they are added to the above reasons, purely physiological and psychological dependence.
Alcohol becomes a tool not a periodic exit from everyday reality into reality "elevated", but a means of temporary "creep out" from the reality of nasty and painful reality in the normal (previously considered mundane).
