Drove 60 miles down a motorway. This was 20 years ago, and I still can't believe I did it. I absolutely hate alcohol now. I think it's the single most overrated thing in life – a horrible drug that makes you depressed, obnoxious and stupid. It literally poisons you. What we call a 'hangover' is actually your body reacting to poison.
At least things like ecstasy and MDMA and cocaine make you feel good (not that I ever use them). I'd much rather live in a country in which alcohol was illegal but you could buy MDMA and ecstasy in pubs. Street fights, violence against women, A&E admissions, etc would plummet, and so would pressure on the NHS.
In my experience, the kinds of people who tell 'hilarious' drunk stories, or think that being so drunk you can't stand up is something to proud of, use alcohol as an excuse. This is especially true of men. The kinds of men who drink a lot and boast about it are almost always boring as f*. They're the sort of men who've never read a book and can't hold an intelligent conversation. So they get drunk to hide that fact, and then accuse non-drinkers of being 'boring'. Deep down, however, they know that THEY are boring.
