it makes you feel like a king for a day, you are confident you are happy you are funny and then you pass out and wake up with a hangover
it's escapism but also age old tool to remove inhibitions and to make shy people more social, you don't feel shame or any kind of restrictions you're as free as a fish in the ocean
every drunk knows it's a temporary illusion but hey for the night you're drinking it's great, alcoholics and drug addicts are similar in that sense junkies who use drugs just tend to have no limits on their escapism due to the side-effects of not having their fix
tldr; drinking is an addiction that makes you feel good to some, a way to be social for others
