Or is it?
I wonder why nearly every culture eventually found some "drug" that inhibits restraints. And why people that drink seem to have more friends and sexual partners then those that don't?
Is our natural state too uptight? And we need a controllable way to remove or lessen our inhibitions? It provides us with the courage to do things we normally wouldn't do, and also gives as a social excuse to explain it away if it didn't work out? Hitting on a girl fails - no worries, you were drunk, it will probably not affect her view on you much, and others will forgive you, too - you succeed? Great, you took a risk and it worked out. Enjoy!
Or am I just jumping to conclusions from personal experiences? (Being a "no-alcohol"-guy myself)
