Re: Things you can't believe are considered "normal"

but what I can't understand is why anyone would want to go further than that.

Well, I just found this in a Psychology Today article (not exactly the iron clad source of the century, but passably credible at least):

"studies have found that the specific effects [of alcohol] depend not just on how much someone drinks, but also on whether blood alcohol content (BAC) is rising or falling; while in the process of drinking, alcohol acts as a stimulant, but as drinking tapers off it begins to act more as a sedative."

When I used to drink I would get pretty manic, and mania tends to want to perpetuate itself, and I remember having an almost instinctive sense that in order to stay manic I had to keep drinking, kind of like riding a wave. Which very quickly leads to being completely wasted.

Something like this is probably what happens for a lot of chronic over-drinkers. And I'm gonna guess that the more manic the alcohol gets you at first, the harder it is to resist the desire to stay manic.
