ANSWER

alcohol has been used for thousands of years as a social lubricant. it is NOT bad.

society needs substances such as alcohol to help the aspect of human beings that is kept hidden by 'civilized society', the ability to let go.

humans are very social animals but we are taught not to be too social, ie you cant start chatting to strangers on the street as its seen in society as strange, weird, bad etc but people need to talk, people like to talk, but society doesn't.

it is the people who drink it than can be bad when they are too drunk, some people even have an allergic reaction to it but don't seem to realise, or care, and they can become very aggressive, red faced, heart racing etc

people with alcohol problems should stop drinking, Alcoholics need to deal with the fact that they are addicted., depressives shouldn't drink as it is a depressant ,mentaly ill people shouldn't drink as it can obviously make it worse. anything taken in excess has 'no good outcomes'

evey one else is fine when they are simply a little socially tipsy and it can help make you the fun,confident, charismatic, social chatty person you feel you are inside but can not be. you can make friends this way and socially (ie out in a bar not at home with them) talk better with already existing friends. as the inhibitions are down you are more able to laugh at yourself and laugh when you do something stupid and embaracing where you would normally feel stupid ,embaraced and uncomfortable ergo making you feel better about yourself, more accepting of mistakes you make and making you look very comfortable with yourself friendly and funny.

hope that helps
