I think one of the biggest fallacies is that alcohol "shows who the person really is".

It definitely loosens you up, to a point. Maybe 3-8 drinks in it is definitely closer to "the true self".

But in large amounts it definitely creates an over-emotional person. In it's own way it creates emotional reaction spirals that could cause suicide, or lashing out at people, irrational love or hatred of self, etc.

Like i said, biggest fallacy.

3-8? 8 drinks in and I'd be passed out on the floor.

Well they did say 3-8. A petite short person won't be able to drink as much as a tall heavy person, all else being equal.

Tbh one or two beers is all I drink these days, but six or seven is what it takes for me to be 'properly drunk' (which I don't enjoy.)
