I think there’s a second order effect here you’re not seeing. Social acceptance makes imbibing orders of magnitude less stressful and you can still call yourself a “normal” person while doing it. I think that makes a huge difference.
However what you describe - effectively novelty seeking, which is very human - is a far cry from the chronic alcohol culture that permeates society.
The former is healthy exploration, what we have however is chronic dissociation.
