I know a bunch of people like this. If you are a nice person, you are a nice person. If you become an asshole when you are drunk it is becuase deep down you are really not a nice person - people may think you are becuase you put on a good act or cover it up really well.

Exactly, alcohol helps remove inhibitions by killing some of your judgment. For example, if someone in his everyday dealings keeps a filter on what leaves his brain and comes out his mouth, alcohol helps remove the filter.

I think this is a huge issue although coming from the L.A. Police I don't find this surprising in the least.
