why people are alcoholics?

alchohol doesn't even taste good, and I'm like 20 years old.
I don't get the appeal, only time it tastes good is:
mixed with cola or some sugary drink with alcohol.
rest tastes badly
Because they are trying to be like the people who drink fanta FANTASTIC :D

Well, have a sense of humor, and consider that while it might sound cheesy, it's based entirely in historical facts and chemistry. No known pathogen lives in beer. Can't say that about many other drinks. I especially liked the segment about how people who drank beer lived through the plague because everything they drank had been boiled and fermented. Right down to infants drinking much lower alcohol versions (second runnings they'd call it, and still do), those people survived.

As to any ill effects, it's more or less known that drinking in moderation is a good thing. The key is moderation. I can't speak to things like bourbon and whiskey, I don't drink those. I don't think they're particularly good for you, but to each his own.

I think I might be watching a different film with the same name. I think I'm watching some kind of bootleg Frankenstein beer documentary with the same name. If I find the one you're talking about, I'll watch it, but so far, I've only found clips of it on YouTube.

(The one I watched had no mention of the plague.)

Oh, and I do disagree with your opinion that drinking in moderation is a good thing. The best I can say is that I think drinking in moderation won't do your body much damage. Your adult liver is able to process roughly about one drink a day without it doing any significant damage to your liver. Beyond that, I think it becomes detrimental to your body.

That's possible. When I quickly looked that up at work today on IMDb I saw mention of some things that I didn't remember from it. It's been many years since I saw the thing, but it was mostly a historical documentary.
