What is the logic to being inebriated?

If one eats something that made them sick, throw up, break out in hives, etc you would think the person would stop doing it no matter how much they loved the dish. I know diabetics who will avoid foods they loved because it will make them sick. Some people I know avoid fish because they will get sick if they eat it. They may love salmon but they won’t suffer the effects in order to have it.

What is the logic of being in that condition when it comes to being inebriated (most using alcohol more than drugs)? What is the logic to placing yourself in a condition where you hamper your control and awareness? Is being sober too boring, or too much to handle, that mental escape is necessary? If life is so boring, or that hard wouldn’t it make more sense to remain sober to figure out how to make life more exciting or cure the problems making life too hard?

What logical reason can you provide as to why someone need be inebriated over sober?
