Warnings - very self deprecating thoughts in kaeya’s, heavy alcohol consumption, drunken behavior, vomiting, crying, removal of some clothes (no sexual implications whatsoever), skinship It was updated in February 2022.Pairings (separately!) - diluc ragnvindr, kaeya alberich x gender neutral reader This article was originally published June 19, 2013. When we drink, not even our hearts are sober. So does a drunk mind speak a sober heart? No. In some cases, an affable friend may become a mean drunk. It is a complicated drug with all sorts of good and bad effects. It changes who we are.Īlcohol makes us happy, woozy, enthusiastic, gregarious, and loud. Since our brain is who we are, alcohol does not simply let out our true, unchanged selves. It is an active chemical process, counter-intuitively fitting the definitions of “stimulant” and “depressant.” It changes nearly every part of our brain. It does not simply tear down our inhibitions and let loose dormant desires. The fact is that drunkenness is not a passive process. That last one is the part of the brain most responsible for reasoning and judgment and all of that other high fallutin’ stuff that Homo sapiens are especially good at. What we do know is that alcohol affects the hippocampus (memory center), which is why we black out the motor cortex, which is why we stumble and the prefrontal cortex. The way alcohol affects the brain is complicated and understood by science to a shockingly small degree.
There is a reason why science and law dictate that drunk people cannot give informed consent. The scientists concluded that our general belief that intoxication causes a personality change is more likely the result of “salient, socially proliferated exemplars” - for example, cultural stereotypes born of films like The Hangover. How alcohol consumption affects personality was the topic of a new study led by Rachel Winograd, assistant research professor at the Missouri Institute of Mental Health ( University of Missouri, St Louis). But as a team of scientists from the University of Missouri found, sober observers of drunk people don’t report such a shift. If you’re drunk, it may feel like your personality has undergone a dramatic shift. When it was over, 42 people had died from alcohol poisoning. It was not the intention of anyone’s “sober heart” to have several dozen people enthusiastically poison themselves to death.
On his conquest, Alexander the Great held a drinking contest among his soldiers.
Rather, it acts against self-control is more beguiling ways, creating only lose-lose situations. I genuinely did not want to marry that stranger. It seems alcohol doesn’t limit our self-control by giving us over to our selfish impulses. I genuinely do not want to be friends with my least favorite person. It simply isn’t the case that I feel the way I sometimes say I do when I am drunk. But if you step back and really look at it, the claim that drunken behavior reveals true personality traits doesn’t make sense. It’s fun in the same way it’s fun for freshman psychology majors to accuse everybody of being in love with their parent on Freudian terms. It may be thrillingly fun to consider, in the pop-psychological sense, that those are activities which are what I am really inclined to do all the time, but am too inhibited to do without Guinness.
