Reply to comment by LindenSpruce in ELI5, when someone is intoxicated, how does adrenaline bring back motor skills and awareness? Or does it not? by LindenSpruce

keep in mind, intoxicated people are easily influenced. that includes overestimating their own sobriety.

So they think "OMG that sobered me up", when in fact, their reflexes and judgement are just as bad, they just convinced themselves that they werent.

Though to some extent, you can "lean into" being drunk if you want, or lean out.

So you're telling me that I don't actually sound like Frank Sinatra on the karaoke after a few beers?
