From a Shiur by Shira Smiles
Noach was a very great man and he saved the world but he was not as great as Avraham. Avraham began Judiasm because he brought other people to worship Hashem. The reason Hashem says let us make man is because when we teach Torah to other people we make ourselves greater and them greater. " Naaseh Adam" means that each person has a responsibility to help others to grow in Torah. It is as if Hashem is asking each of us to be a partner in creation.
This is a perfect explanation of why service in OA helps us to keep abstinent.
