That's exactly what I meant to say, Limes. It's also why I don't 'look over' drunk people.

"Oh, you gotta look over him, he's drunk."

I don't care if he's drunk, what he said was in there somewhere, it just got amplified/distorted. He just didn't say it when he could think not to.

I think it depends on the person. People get drunk differently. Just like some people get happy and some get maudlin, some people become an intensified, amplified version of their normal selves, but some people change completely.

So, yes, I guess it's already in there, but only in the way we all have pleasant and nasty shit going on in our heads. Sometimes those unpleasant thoughts or impulses are really not reflective of who we really are and what we really think. Neurons fire and something pops into your mind. We just filter that shit out most of the time. For some people, alcohol kills the filter and they give head (and mouth)room to stuff they would normally be appalled by.
