People use alcohol and other drugs (AOD) for a variety of reasons:
to relax
for enjoyment
to be part of a group
sometimes to avoid physical and/or psychological pain
experiment out of a sense of curiosity
excitement
rebellion.1
Alcohol and other drugs may also be used to:
cope with problems
relieve stress
overcome boredom.
AOD use is influenced by a number of factors, but most people use substances for the benefits (perceived and/or experienced) - not for the potential harm. This applies to both legal and illegal substances.
No one takes a drug to feel worse
It’s important to remember that the vast majority of people who drink alcohol and/or use legal or illegal drugs do not become dependent on any of these substances.
