Can we also talk about the pleasures of good wine?

[Duty]

Here are the (rubbish, but "hypnotic") reasons people drink with relish: 

Habit + escapism + brainwashing (society screams it's "normal and fun to drink" from every orifice/off licence, supermarket, bar, film, advert etcetcetc) + Suffering Yangs (there are so many big downsides to drinking it MUST have something really great about it or people wouldn't do it!) + forbidden fruit fallacy (we all know alcohol is a "bit" naughty)+ calorific gratification + association with good/party times (they even drink Champaign at birthdays and wedding in Star Trek FFS).

And here are some of the excellent reasons NOT to be an "enthusiastic" drinker:

Ruinous to health and puts oh so many in an early grave – good health!
Very fattening - you'll lose lots of excess weight!
Causes dermatitis – good complexion!
Costs an absolute FORTUNE - You'll be LOADS more wealthy!
Can't drive if drinking – You can get a lush car safely!
Heavy drinking looks ugly – You'll be way more attractive due to these factors!
Humiliating to drink - stable life – no more drunken antisocial behaviour and the fallout from that!
All the stress RE drunk deeds – no more "fuck, what might I have done last night?!" ANXIETY!
Feel lively and capable, not hungover!
Get good stuff done instead of being drunk!
No need to clear up after yourself every day!

No more STRESS and ANXIETY through drinking despite these huge reasons not to!!!
