I genuinely love a lot of booze. I love the taste and experience of good beer, good wine, good whisky, various horrible spirits (especially a good G&T). Its a great pleasure in life. I don't have any alcoholic tendencies (I can cheerily go weeks without a drink, sometimes hardly noticing), and if I have to choose between quality and quantity I'll take quality every time. Though deliberately bad booze (like some of the shocking cocktails at that party you mention) can be fun in the right context too.

I've certainly been known to binge drink - a few drinks kills the good judgement that should make me slow down - and I've had a few experiences with alcohol I very much regret. Of all the drugs I've tried, its the one that scares me the most.

But on the whole, I enjoy it a lot. I like to savour a good drink, I find being a little drunk makes some social situations more fun (not all), I find it can help me relax in stressful times. I could easily get quite evangelistic about good booze if it was appropriate -- if you or anyone else asked me about how to enjoy good wine, or good scotch, or good beer, you'd see some real enthusiam for the subject.

But drinks for those that don't want it? Using social pressure to force drinks on the unwilling? What a stupid and obnoxious idea.
And even worse is drink spiking and that sort of crap. Morally repellent.
