Alcohol is strange

Alcohol is strange
Alcohol is a depressant but it can still make you feel good simply by uninhibiting you
It makes me wonder sometimes how much we are preventing our own happiness simply by being uptight inhibited fucks in our natural state. So defensive, so easily offended -- more than necessary. I don't know.

I'm probably not making any sense.

Please excuse me, I'm drunk.

But I do also wonder why at least tipsiness can make me feel so good.

Tipsiness is like not enough drunk to depress (because depressant) but still drunk enough to uninhibit -- but what does this mean... that in our natural sober state we are inhibited enough to not allow ourselves to reach a happiness level that we are able to when drunk? Kinda weird. Is sobriety extra uptight/defensive, unnecessarily uptight/defensive?

I don't know.

I iz drunk. Lol.

All I know is -- I have never understood how the fuck a little bit of drunkenness (tipsiness) can make us feel good if alcohol is a depressant. Can someone explain this to me?

Are we really so naturally uptight when we are sober that alcohol can make us feel good despite being a depressant?

'Faith sir, we were carousing till the second cock;
and drink, sir, is a great provoker of three things.

What three things does drink especially provoke?

Porter
Marry, sir, nose-painting, sleep, and urine.
Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes; it provokes
the desire, but it takes away the performance. There-
fore, much drink may be said to be an equivocator
with lechery: it makes him, and it mars him; it sets him
on, and it takes him off; it persuades him, and dis-
heartens him; makes him stand to, and not stand to; in
conclusion, equivocates him in a sleep, and, giving him
the lie, leaves him.
