I haven't actually gotten "really" drunk since college.
But, on several occasions I did get to that '.08-.10' level while drinking entirely by myself.
The "silly" things I remember doing during those times are, the one time I kept knocking on all kinds of strangers doors houses trying to find a place I was looking for. I was in a completely wrong neighborhood and everyone kept sending me further down the street. Finally, I stopped at someones porch and parked on a couch they had out on the porch, and finished the beers I was carrying, then took a short or long nap, then stumbled back. Actually, I spent those 3-4 hours, basically by myself. It wasn't bad, I wanted to do it again.
The other time, I was "rocking out" in my dorm room, then got the sudden urge to serande the "duty team".
I dropped down on my knees and sang them "Bringin' on the heartbreak" by Def Leppard.
Your bringin' on the heartbrea -- ehhhh ehehhh akke
Bringin' on the heartayyyyyyy -- ehh ehhh ake.
Alcohol tends to remove inhibitions. That tends to bring out what people might not do/say under normal circumstances (or just intensify their personality). I tend to be goofy (even more than normal), sometimes I get lovey, sappy and sentimental.
If your inhibitions are that you are shy or something like that, you’ll likely become more talkative and willing to socialize. However, there are some people who find it difficult not to be violent or act like jackasses under normal conditions. For those people, alcohol might land them in jail, or worse.
Several years ago I had an apartment with security locks and buzzers. Idiots in my building would just buzz in whoever if they rang their apt. So one night I wake to a drunk guy pounding on my door and screaming “Karen, open the door, you bytch, I’m gonna [series of explicatives] kill you.” I was tempted to say something, but I just called the cops. It was a good thing that I did, because not only did he have the wrong building, but the wrong side of the apartment. I know this because it was summer and I could hear and see him attacking a woman (I’m guessing that was ‘Karen’) in the building across from me. Then, I watched the police come in her door and arrest him. He is an excellent example of someone who should NOT drink.
That is also why people should never buzz someone into a building that they don't know!
