We've all gotten drunk and done stupid things some time or the other. If you haven't, your task for the day is, go out, get drunk, do something stupid.
We know we would like to blame the alcohol for our actions that follow. But we also know, deep in our hearts, that we only do things that we always wanted to do, just didn't have the guts to do when we were sober, whatever the reason behind it might be. We don't hide things anymore, that is why it's so easy to get secrets out of people when they're drunk. The baser instincts come to the surface, and our moral center goes right out the window.
I know my main reason for drinking is to behave in a certain way, and then to be able to blame it on alcohol. To have a free pass for a certain time when I cannot he held accountable or responsible for what I do or say. Of course, then you wake up the next day feeling like crap and remember, "Oh shit! Why did I have to do that now!" As Ernest Hemingway put it, always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.
A dying man does not lie. The funny thing is, neither does a drunk one.
