Alcoholism: Social & Personal (biological) Poison

I watched 2 movies in succession in the past week & coincidentally both on alcoholism.

One thing I don't understand how people all over the world (esp. in Western countries) willingly & happily ingest this poison (scientifically proven that alcohol is a poison). Besides being a biological poison for your own body, it's also a social poison where it creates problems (family breakdown, assaults, drunk driving deaths causing grief for another family too). But still, alcohol is the central to everything is done in the Western world, from professional (e.g. wine & cheese networking) to personal.

Frankly, it seems that people who don't drink are much more resilient & bold. They face problems without drowning themselves in booze. They don't wait for booze to lower their inhibitions to do something.
