I've done quite a bit of hardcore drinking, and will continue to do so. And every single time, my mind functions perfectly (almost), but things like vision and balance decline, and my little voice saying "Don't do that" completely disappears. Which actually makes for fun times during big parties. I'm normally a pretty reserved, shy person, so if I weren't drunk, I'd hate big parties. Drinking actually gets me up and talking to people. So in that respect, drinking is my enabler; something I wouldn't normally do, but within reason. I agree that being drunk is an explanation of your actions, but no way is it an excuse. Sure being drunk helps me be more social, but it doesn't make me start making out with every girl I see.
