Same as non-caloric foods I guess. The taste. I would love to drink beer at work. But getting drunk is not what I want. Some people like wine like that. I doubt that stands for spirits.

It's a social custom.

Same as playing poker even if you're not very good at it, and know you're going to lose.

You want your date to get drunk.
