I have encountered a person who is a drunker and when drunk he becomes violent and become unmannered. I did confronted him about his behavior when he have washout his drunkenness. I told him why he acted that way. And then he told me, a drunk person lost his consciousness of what he is doing, and he said he really didn't know what he is doing. Do you believe on this? I just can't believe it.

I believe that. For my father got very drunk one night,and he complained about his job and boss in front of me.But on the other day when he was awake,he didn't remember anything he said that night.And he didn't even remember how he came back home totally.

I kind of believe it. For me, you are either drunk or wasted. There's a bit of a difference there. When you're drunk, you lose a sense of yourself and another totally different side gets out. Whereas when you're wasted, you still have a sense of yourself but that you're just having a hard time moving in the way you want to. Like your body has abandoned you for the moment. But you still know everything that is going on in your surroundings, except that maybe it's a little bit whoozy. I also knew this guy back in high school. We hung out this one time after a school function. There were about 10 or 15 of us just drinking. I think he must have drunk a lot because he totally wasn't himself. He punched the side of a car! The next morning, when we asked him about it, he was really pissed. Pissed because someone punch his car. He didn't even know that it was him. He was drunk and out of it. You guys can just bite my head off if you don't agree with my drunk vs. wasted theory.

I believe that people can get drunk but I do not believe they lose consciousness while still awake. they know exactly what they are saying and doing. They may bit a bit imparied and do and say things they normally wouldn't but they know they are doing it.

I have encountered this with many people, but when they find out this I think they should quit because it is hazardous to their health and maybe others around them.
