If people don't aim for being more or less drunk, why do they drink alcohol then? Why don't they just drink other drinks then? Heck, there's even nonalcoholic beer, wine etc. available nowadays.
Do you enjoy making yourself look more naive? Okay, alcohol has been a basis on culture for two main reasons:
Too feel good, and a conversation lubricate. People can drink casually too make them less tense, more fluid. People don't drink to simply get wasted, and frankly not a lot of adult's do. My mom used to drink 2 ying lings on long days while makin dinner, that isn't bad. And wine is enouraged to be drank because it's good for your heart, but only like 1 glass.
So basically your counter argument is trying too justify why people drink, which in your perspective is too get wasted. There's a reason why you can moderately drink, but you can't moderately smoke. Smoking is an addiction, drinking is really defined by the settings. At a casual new years, you aren't drinking so you can't speak, but if you're between 17-24 that's a possibilty that is your goal, or don't know your limit.
