I believe people who thinks alcohol make things more fun are insecure about themselves. CMV.

There are a lot of people who claims this, that alcohol makes thing more fun.  At social gathering, people have alcohol to have a good time.  Or to "loosen" things up.  They can really be themselves when they drink.  They are a completely different person with a few drinks in them.

I used to drink a lot in when I started college.  All of those things above applied to me back than.  And then I grew up.  The post-alcohol fun person became the same pre-alcohol person.  Suddenly being inebriated made things less fun, because I wasn't fully able to enjoy the experience.  Because I wouldn't be able to make the decision that led to the most fun.  Because connections you made with people without alcohol is stronger than the ones with alcohol. 

When anyone says alcohol makes fun more fun.  They are basically saying the alcohol lowers their inhibition, which allows them to have more fun.  Which means there are things they would do after drinking alcohol that they wouldn't do sober that make things more fun.  Why wouldn't they do these things without alcohol?  Because there is a disconnect between the person they want to be, and the person they are.  For whatever reason, they are afraid to do so when they are sober, they need the excuse of alcohol to remove their inhibition to be this "fun" person.  They are insecure about themselves.

There are people who enjoys the taste of alcohol.  Or take advantage of the nutritional value of alcohol.  I am only talking about people who thinks things are more fun with alcohol.

Numerous studies have shown that if you put people in a drinking environment (dark bar, loud music, lots of people, etc.) and give them non-alcoholic drinks, they will think and act like they are drunk. The placebo effect in essence. 

This would seem to infer that the enjoyment many people gain from drinking is not that it actually lowers their inhibitions but that it allows them to lower their inhibitions. Being in a society can be tiring. We are expected to say certain things and act a certain way. Alcohol is a free pass to be a little loud, be a little rowdy, say some things that we normally couldn't say out loud or do something that we normally wouldn't be allowed to do. It is a social outlet that allows us to relax a little as we can blame any transgressions on being drunk. 

Thus a drinking alcohol doesn't necessarily reveal some hidden inner version of someone so much as it frees us to say/do the things we would normally want to without as much fear of retribution. This of course refers to the casual part drinker. There are people who require alcohol as a crutch to function, but that is a different situation entirely.
