This is something I've never really understood either. While I enjoyed the occasional drink, I never got into getting totally drunk just for fun. My brother struggled with pot and alcohol use when younger as did most of the kids I went to high school with. College was a real eye-opener for me, with the massive consumption and big parties. I knew a couple fellow students who I am sure were never sober once in the four years they attended college.
Maybe the closest I've come to understanding the appeal is in reading Jack London's John Barleycorn. It's an interesting book - quite repetitive actually as he recounts how he made the same mistakes over and over with alcohol.
