Something..

Let's say subject A has many problems in his life and wants to cry and open his heart to their friends. But he thinks that it would be too low of him if he did. There is something stopping him from doing it .


Lets say another subject B hates her boss but she cannot express it in workplace as it would not be professional. And she thinks it would be rude to say this to her boss. There's something stopping her from doing it.


Consider an another subject C has a daughter studying abroad. Whenever his daughter comes home, he wants to hug her tight and kiss all over her face. Unfortunately his daughter is 25 years old and he couldn't express without boundaries. There's something stopping him from doing it.




Consciousness | Inhibitions

The thing that stops us from doing certain things because we think that it is wrong/inappropriate/legal/unsafe or sometimes make others/ourselves feel bad. This thinking comes from something, called as consciousness/awareness/Inhibitions. Some might lose it when they are over happy/sad but still we have a control over it.

There are some chemicals which can exploit your conscious mind like anesthesia. A patient could behave differently when they are on anesthesia. But there's a another easily available chemical.




C2H5OH

Alcohol - without a doubt is injurious to health.

But there is this theory that when someone is high on alcohol, they behave rude, they kill, they rape and etc.,

Let me boil it down for you. Alcohol is not a magical compound that can inject someone's mind with inhumane and dark thing. If so, there would be a magical solution which would turn someone into Mother Theresa.

Alcohol does 3 major thing.


  • Make you feel high and dizzy
  • Shuts down the conscious mind
  • Affects few parts of the body


If the 3 subjects we talked where given enough alcohol, subject A would have cried and opened up to his friends. Subject B would have shouted to her boss. Subject C would have hugged and kissed his daughter without any body boundaries.


The point here is alcohol is not a magical solution that injects dark things into people's mind, it just shuts down the conscious mind so that the real human feelings inside comes out.


If a person is childish, but acts consciously mature since the person is an adult, his maturity will wear off when the person is high on alcohol.


If a person has soo much hatred but acts lovingly, it wears of when the person is high on alcohol.

So it's not the alcohol, its the person itself.
