Sideways

Why does alcohol produce such a subliminal effect?

3 glasses of red wine are most often sufficient to put you right into the mood for some wa-wa-whoom sex, the catch here being who it is with seems to be the least of your wasted avatar’s concerns. Or it could make you yearn for someone that your conscious self was quite certain it had gotten over. (Really?? But this was the person before the last.) Worse yet, it could make you feel completely in love with someone that was merely a friend 4 drinks back. It could either give you the king-of-the-world elation, or throw you right into the dark dungeons of loneliness. The most common and perhaps safest effect is that you feel everyone around you is your best friend forever.   

It’s amazing how a mere liquid can intensify the mind’s ability to feel by leaps and bounds. Sometimes I wonder who the real person is: the controlled and clear-headed pre-drinks mind, or the high and hyperbolic post-drinks one. And then I go on to wonder how clear-headed we really are even if we are not down with alcohol. Is this also not some milder form of being high?

Whatever the case may be, alcohol is known to be the catalyst to some stupidest and wildest decisions in a person’s life. Red wine is known to be especially notorious ;) Mere grapes ….
