I agree pretty much completely with the "an explanation, not an excuse" description. Pretty much falls in with what I was rambling around trying to put in the words.
I don't believe the train of thought that people drunk just do what they wanted to do anyway sober, at least if we're looking at isolated incidents. I think drunkenness can completely change what you would or wouldn't have done. This doesn't mean people should be absolved of everything just because they are drunk, but it is an important fact when looking at any situation.
However, if there is a consistent problem of similar actions while drunk, then I think there's a clear indication of that 'wanting secretly to do it sober' or 'that being what you're really like' thing being likely.
If people drink, thats a part of their personality and you take that into consideration how they are sober and drunk when you look at hanging out with someone or being in a relationship or whatnot. Its all part of a whole.
And yeah, I enjoy the sauce at this particular point in my life.
