Never. I don't see much point blowing a bunch of cash just to feel like shit the next day.

I'm just a social drinker...and no i'm not about to spit out that old pun. 
Goin the pub or the local pool house is like the only things to do round here so i make the most of it.
And since i'm such a lightweight i tend not to feel like shit so much the next morning XD

It's just that I used to drink, and I just got sick of being shitfaced. That was my fault though, because I can drink quite a bit, and didn't really pace myself. I'd end up looking and feeling like shit, and I just couldn't dig that.
Plus, I didn't have much coin back then either, and couldn't believe how much I could ring up on booze.
So now I don't drink too often, if at all.

I don't like how some people (ie. way too many) make alcohol out to be this incredible demon that serves no purpose but to destroy lives and families. Not that anybody has done that in this thread... yet.
Certain people should not drink, just like certain people shouldn't own guns, drive cars, procreate, or even have an opinion. It just depends on the person.
I love alcohol, and it's a great escape. I don't need and never have needed alcohol to feel good. It just enhances good feelings, and it can even be used to soften the blow of stressful situations.
What I do hate is that I drank the equivalent of 5 beers last night, chose not to drink any water before I slept, and I woke up to feeling nauseated. I think my tolerance is down from not drinking as much as I used to. Still, drinking water was a quick fix.
Edit: Nauseous --> nauseated.
whoa.

I used to claim that I was never going to get drunk. Turns out I'm a liar.
I don't do it often, though... usually I'll have one or two and call it quits, because the few times (less than 10) I've been really fucked up I've regretted getting that way. I've never passed out, and I've never forgotten something that I said or did while drunk, but I have gotten drunk to blindness twice, and it was not a very happy experience. Up until about the sixth drink I'm as happy as can be, after which I swing the other way and start getting more depressed... which leads me to drink more, until someone cuts me off or I become physically unable to drink.
That said, I hold my liquor pretty well. I'm coordinated enough to not fall on my ass right up until I can't see anymore; I've been able to pass myself off as sober despite being plastered on more than one occasion. I've never driven drunk, and I've never gotten drunk when I was alone.
The worst I've ever done was a glass and a half of wine, then a whiskey sour, then a few bottles of Smirnoff Ice, rounded off by 3/4 of a bottle of a wonderful Israeli dessert liqueur called Sabra (*edit- that was all within the space of an hour; someone timed me). That was my first experience with temporary blindness. I couldn't so much as look at chocolate or oranges for the better part of a month afterwards without getting nauseous. That one's really burned into my memory because I'm pretty sure I would have ended up dead if I hadn't had a few really good friends looking out for me.
So... yeah. I try not to get drunk when I can avoid it, but when I do get drunk it tends to go too far. Which, in turn, is why I avoid getting drunk most of the time. Heavily tipsy to lightly drunk is fun; heavily drunk to shitfaced and beyond is most decidedly not.
