Poisonous celebrations

Don't you think it's quite funny how whenever we are with people we love, having a good time or when celebrating something like special occasions or something great that has happened, we bring out drinks and feel the need to celebrate with alcohol.

Where and how did this tradition/habit come to exist? Alcohol is a poison and a depressant. It is almost as if life is going too great and we are too happy that we need to minimize it with this depressant.

By no means am I saying that I am going to give up alcohol or that I don't think people should not celebrate with a bit of champagne. I love having a glas or two with friends. I even love getting quite drunk sometimes, as long as it doesn't give me a hangover. I just find the fact quite ironic.

Just a bit of food for thought :).
