Drunkness

Being drunk is definitely no excuse for bad behavior. There is no excuse for bad behavior whether drunk or sober.

Well it is most certainly one of the many reasons people use to justify their behavior. Granted, there are a lot of debate that can be drawn about the long term affects of constant drinking on the human brain. There are just going to be a lot of times where people tend really do a lot of things and would find excuses for them after the fact, even sober. It does seem like drinking tends to erode common sense. Then again, if someone was going to drink to the extent where it is going to be a problem, you must rather wonder exactly how much common sense does a person have. That is really just one of the many things to think about. If they are going to drink to the level where it seems to be a problem, it does raise all kind of interesting questions.

I agree. Being drunk is not an excuse for bad behavior at all. I have heard some people try to use that excuse many times and each and every time, I tell them that being drunk is no excuse. They control what and how much they drink as well as the choices they make.

I do think that people tend to act differently when they have been drinking. However, I don't think that the fact that a person made the conscious decision to get drunk is ever an excuse for behaving badly. The reason that I don't think that it is an acceptible excuse is because we all know that our inhabitions are lifted when we've been drinking, but even when a person is drunk, they do realize the actions that they are taking.

In all honesty i have several opinions about this topic. I do believe that we have control over what we drink for the most part. However, at times sometimes me estimate our tolerance wrong and may tend to drink a little too much and this could cloud our judgment and lead to bad decisions. I do think it is up the person though on how they handle drinking. If they can't try and pace themselves, maybe they shouldn't drink at all or try slowing down more to see what effects it has. Before OI learned though, I tested my limits to see what I could do and sometimes failed. But my mistakes is what made me want to drink less and less till I knew I was still in control of every situation.

I agree with you. We do have control over our own bodies and actions. We are not robots we are human beings and we can make choices! If people choose to drink to excess and are then guilty of bad behaviour then don't blame it on the drink! It was your choice to get drunk.
