I literally do not understand why people drink alcohol

I must get dehydrated easily because if I drink alcohol I get really dehydrated and wake up (even if I didn’t drink that much) feeling like my brain has been squeezed and is like a dry sponge. Being drunk is not all the great either to me honestly it feels like I just get heavier and am held down by something.

And everyone my age in their 20s wants to go out and get shit faced and I literally do not understand. I do not get it at all.

And it’s annoying because I cannot find someone who just wants to hang out.. sober.. if there’s no alcohol I’m no fun. It makes me miss being 14-15 and just hanging out with my friends in my bedroom talking until 4 am. I just want a friend like that.

I’ll go out with my boyfriend and his friends and they’re all getting drunk and I’m like the only sober one just hanging out around drunk people. It makes me feel stupid or something
