The alcohol just removes all filters. So yes, you wanted to sleep, but at normal times you'd be too embarassed to not sleep in your bed. With alcohol, it's sleepy time, you sleep and that wheelbarrow looks a lot more inviting than the floor.
You wanted to go camping but fucked it up because you were drunk.
No, that sounds like camping to me.
Yeah, the first mistake everyone makes when camping is deciding to go camping.

When I was an alcoholic, I wanted to keep my best friend from ruining his marriage by having an affair, so I tried to murder him with a gun. Pretty sure I would've gone about it differently had I been sober.
There needs to be more context to this story.
We were working together in a different state; he kept talking about this girl we worked with; we got drunk at her place- some of us (me) drunker than others; he gave me a ride back to the house we were renting and then went back to the party; I was convinced he was gonna sleep with the girl, and was infuriated he'd do that to his lovely wife and their daughter; I got my pistol and was gonna shoot him when he got home; I was too drunk to chamber a round; our other roommate was there and wrestled the gun away from me.
It's an insane bit of logic. "In order to keep you from ruining your marriage, I'm going to kill you."
His wife ended up sleeping with her boss a few years later, too, so. 🤷♂️
"I can't let you ruin your life, so I will ruin both of us for you, buddy!"

Also pretty sure I didn't want to run over an orphanage and kill 37 children
How big are your feet? Holy shit.
It's not the size of the feet that count. It's how many orphans you kill.
Make every step count.
how small were the orphans?

I'm in the Navy. If you can't do your job while drunk you can't do your job.
I'm European. If you can still do your job just drink more!
My dad was blown away when he had to go do work at auto plants overseas in Europe (prob germany?) and the breakroom vending machines had beer in them. I guess there was a 2 beer unofficial limit. This was like 3 decades ago... So maybe it's changed.

Definitely wanted to throw up on my shoes, just didn’t have the courage.
Definitely also want to throw up on your shoes, working up the courage now
It's sex. She's talking about sex.
Yeah I get it, it's just I've known plenty of girls who really wish they didn't sleep with a guy when they were drunk, and guys as well.
This just isn't how alcohol works, or is a gross over simplification, it inhibits and impairs you, but that doesn't mean in your waking sober hours you just wanted to jump anything that has a pulse, there's been times I was into a girl when drunk but when I was sober I was really glad that I didn't because she repulsed me and had an ugly personality
I still think it's not necessarily true

I was in a long term relationship with someone with a drinking problem. When a drunk person says something to you they fucking mean it. Their filter is weaker and, as I label it "they have the courage to say something that they were afraid to say sober." When you figure this out everything is easier to understand.
There's an old saying that the first thought in your head is what you're conditioned to think, and the second is what you actually think. Kind of an ego/id thing.

Not every drunk/alcoholic person is the same. Bummer you had that experience though.
While drunkenness isn't a blanket excuse for behavior, I don't believe it's inherently fair to say we are our true selves while drunk. Alcohol affects our reasoning, it doesn't merely remove filters.
Alcohol makes you feel and act different way. Your statement is not correct
True to an extent but there's also a level of brain damage that can come with long term alcoholism (or extreme intoxication) where they lose the ability to form coherent thoughts while plastered and their drunk ramblings can be contradictory.
I regularly tell people I absolutely hate that I love them while drunk. It's how my brain makes sure I don't tell them to go fuck themselves.... I also tell everyone i like, that I love them though....
This is why I crash my car into a tree everytime I drive sober.
Actually it's pretty comfortable. I worked in landscaping and whenever I'm on break, I'd sit in a wheelbarrow. It's cool and the shape fits your body pretty well.
If you’re shaped like SpongeBob?
Nah, you sit with your feet between the wheelbarrow handlers and it'll tilt toward with handlers acting as chair legs, so you're basically sitting in the chair. And I'm 6'2, it's really comfortable, you'd be surprised. And most wheelbarrows aren't square, they're like round or tapered at where your head rests.

I actually agree with the sentiment of this post even though there are obvious exceptions. Your character doesn't change when you're drunk, just your inhibitions. So yeah, getting drunk reminds me I can be an asshole and probably I want to be more often than I do.
But you know what I've never done while even blackout drunk? I've never cheated on my wife. Because I don't want to do that. I've had crazy hot women ask me to hook up and I was too drunk to even say, sorry I'm married. All I could get out was naww.
I've felt bad because I have seen devistation in the face of young women being blown off by an older dude but I was too drunk to express myself. I was also probably too drunk to be a great lover at that time, so maybe I did them a favor. But when you're that drunk and the next morning all you can remember is destroying the ego of a skinny 25 year old, you know you didn't imagine it.
when people say this you can instantly disregard any worth you may have thought they had.
