They might have issues. Real issues. Issues like say mental illnesses.
Depression can lead people to pickup smoking, drinking and further down the track even drugs.
Some do it as a social thing though.

That's where depressed people come into the equation. I'm sure you know something about this.

well i get that it can be a cure of depression, but people seem to find other ways than just alcohol, drugs and cigarettes. But i just wanna know in general.

IMO drinking is overrated. I don't have anything really against it I guess, but I don't understand why people like to get so drunk that they vomit and don't know what the fuck is going on. Seems like an act of self-destruction, almost self hate to me. Maybe I say this b/c i've never gotten to that point.
Don't get me started on smoking. It's just so stupid I can't even get a grip on why some fool would want to make smoking a habit. Its smells shit, costs heaps of money, is unattractive, tastes shit and doesn't really have any notable effect (except addiction of course). On top of that it kills you. Its just dumb. Why not smoke newspaper, it's sure cheaper, and probably healthier.

for me personally
Drink: socialising, relaxing, sometimes it's just nice to have an awesome glass of wine with dinner.
Smoke: this, the short answer is i'm addicted, pretty simple really, why i started in the first place, to fit in/be "cool" and headspin is awesome.
Do drugs: There is just no way to describe in words how awesome some drugs make you feel, and on a personal note, doing them has brought me closer to my best friends, and given me some insight into my own life.

Why do fucktards who are anti drinking always make this argument? There is a huge range of intoxication between getting a buzz on and passing out, not everyone drinks till they throw up.

haha fuck i love jezzmo
Lets assume that these people are not doing it to look cool, fit in and because everyone else is doing it. Lets assume that these people have mental illness or are going/have been through through a really tough time.
Some people do it to escape pain and reality in the same way that you might go an listen to music or go for a run when you are angry or stressed- it helps you feel better and somewhat forget about whats making you stressed. They go drink, smoke and do drugs. It turns into a coping mechanism that really isn't helping them in the long run, but in the short term its alleviating the pain that they are in.
Some people have an addictive personality which basically makes it easy for them to become hooked on something and difficult to leave it once they are hooked.

I've never really smoked, drank or done drugs and I don't really care that I haven't. It doesn't really interest me at all. I've grown up with my older brother and sisters getting drunk, or social smoking, and it's not something I really want to get involved with.
What annoys me though is that some people don't understand that I don't want to drink - they make out like the world will implode in on itself because I don't want to drink even though I'm 18. My friends and my family are supportive and don't really care, but with some other people there's definitely pressure and an expectation that I'm "supposed" to drink.
