What is appealing about getting drunk?

I realize that I’ve beaten this horse to death, but please bear with me fellow jellies, I am not trying to create some nasty debate, I am honestly curious. I have often heard that people drink to loosen up and they use it as a social lubricant, but I find that I am like that naturally. So, what is so appealing about getting drunk? Is it honestly just because some people cannot loosen up on their own, no matter what? Is there some physical reaction that I don’t know about? Is it habit?
