Comment on What is it like being drunk? How much control do you have?

Being drunk doesn’t change who you are or make your body perform actions that you didn’t choose (other than digestive system side effects like puking). It’s always you in control of your body, making choices to do things or to not do things. It won’t make a good person turn bad. It can make you less inhibited and make it harder to think clearly, but that’s not going to make you forget how to be decent.

To expand on that if I may:
What alcohol does is impair your judgement and your motor control(reaction time)
So things you normally would not do for a variety of reasons(like, yell at a giant easily angered bouncer), now seem like a great idea.
It doesn't make you do things, it allows you to do things your sober self might find reprehensible into outright vile.

This is also true of all drugs in my experience. People that don’t even consider doing things that harm themselves and others don’t start doing it when high/drunk/wasted.
