was that a compliment or a put down?
Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.

how come you were trying to lose control?

I rarely drink and have never truly been drunk. I never lose my head. As I start drinking, I may become slightly more emotional than usual, which may (depending on the group) make me fit in better. The parties I've seen go through a couple phases. In the first phase, people are drinking and happy. I sort of get into this phase. Then, people have drunk too much (except me, of course) and begin to turn negative and basically lose their decision-making abilities. At this point I suddenly don't fit in anymore. I feel alienated and think, "These people suck. They have no self-control. All they've been thinking about for the past few days is how they're going to get drunk today, and now all they'll talk about for the next few days is how they were drunk today, who said or did what when they were drunk, and how funny it was. Their whole life revolves around this stupid ritual. I don't want to have anything to do with it."
(added later)
Ah, I read some posts and realized this was about the sweeping statements about people that you tend to make when slightly drunk. In this case, for me it's things like,
"nobody realizes that..." (talking about people in a certain culture or social group or about society at large). In other words, there's some "big thing" that they're all deluded about or have no idea about.
I guess this is attractive to SLIs???? Hahaha.

It is easier for the eye of a camel to pass through a rich man than for a needle to enter the kingdom of heaven.
I don't think I usually think I'm better than everyone else while drunk. For the most part, when I'm drunk I'm simply trying to have as much fun as possible, and having an elitist attitude on various things would seem to impede on that. I guess for the most part though, what annoys me, and I suppose how I would rather have people behave, is when others intentionally try to interrupt this "fun-ness," either by being a wet-blanket of sorts or attempts to become too aggressive and gets in one form or the other, beer muscles. When people do this I become extremely aggravated and attempt to distance myself from whomever is doing that, as I cannot understand the mentality at all. Any attempts towards alpha male-ness that aren't somehow accompanied by something humorous or fun that I can appreciate is extremely annoying to me, and I would suppose I view anyone who acts like that as "less-than."
