What does alcohol feel like to you?

I am by no means a alcoholic and acutely havent drank in over a year now. Ive always thought smoking weed was way better. But im interested in what it feels like to you guys and why you continue to do it? Last time i drank i got some very bad alcohol poisoning that quite literally could have killed me if i was alone. It was moonshine and you could hardly tell it had alcohol so i ended up drinking half the jar. The whole time i was drinking it i didnt feel any more than a buzz until i blacked out. It was a pretty good feeling but also pretty weak thats why i kept drinking more and more of it. And then i just blacked out and that was that. I decided to lay on by back which was a horrible idea and fell asleep when i woke up my family told me i was choking on my vomit,threw up everywhere and broke multiple objects in the house by falling on it. Ive always had a pacing problem and thats why i have chosen to just stay away from it. I might pick it up again soon but im not sure if theres much of a point.
