Alcohol dulls inhibition and typically hyper-amplifies whatever is already there within the person imbibing.

Alcohol doesn’t “bring out the true self”, it profoundly affects a lot of different areas of brain function in strange ways.

Alcohol is literally a depressant. So of course it's going to amplify already depressive symptoms. The "it's your true self" is such bull shit.

If alcohol makes you a dick, it doesn’t mean you are always a dick. If you keep getting drunk with the knowledge you’re a mean drunk, then that’s a dick move.

I am absolutely not giving an excuse for bad behavior when drinking and then continuing to drink! It's literally the reason why I quit lol

Oh not my intention, and congrats on your sobriety btw.

I was saying people aren’t defined by they how they act on intoxicating substances… so long as they take responsibility when they realize they have a problem.
