What the fuck is all of this? Are you trying to rationalize your own drunk driving?
You do not understand tolerance. Start here:
This study demonstrated that heavy social drinkers, categorized by their persistent and predominant adult pattern of drinking and regular bingeing, exhibited comparable alcohol-induced impairment to that of light social drinkers in such areas as fine motor and dexterity skills (Pegboard) and processing and encoding functions (DSST) following consumption of a moderate-to-heavy dose of alcohol (4-5 standard drink equivalent).
Basically even if you donât âfeelâ intoxicated, your psychomotor performance will be impacted as much as anyone else. If anything, itâs more dangerous, because youâre going to be less aware of how intoxicated you are.
This effect is especially noticeable if you see someone drinking on Vivitrol. They donât feel drunk, but they keep drinking and slurring their words, stumbling, etc. The way that alcohol affects the limbic system and creates that sense of euphoria is separate from how it affects your motor coordination, and balance, speech, vision, etc.
DONT DRINK AND DRIVE.
And if you do, I pray you end up in prison for DUI rather than manslaughter. Fuck you for even spending all that time and effort writing an essay on how reckless use of a deadly weapon in public spaces is okay if youâre an addict.

Oh! I know this one! I grew up with an alcoholic narcissist. This is the part where the drunk rants for hours about how unfair the world is and how theyâre the real victim.
Youâre not special. You sound exactly like every other âfunctionalâ alcoholic right before they end up on the news for killing a mother of two, with a sad faced mugshot, lip poked out like theyâre the one who got hurt.
But hey, what would I know? Iâm just a funeral director. Itâs not like I have to deal with the aftermath of people like you, right?
And youâre rightâitâs totally unfair to expect you not to drive your drunk ass home. Itâs not like you could drink at home, or get a ride, or call an Uber, no! You have to drink and drive. Anything else would be unreasonable.
