So I thought I'd start a thread on it. So, lets cover the arguments and points for and against using the senses to discern reality.
I think it will make for an entertaining topic, don't you?
when drinking the stupidity of ones action depends on how much that person is aware of his own drunkenes. i spent countless nights sleeping in my car because i knew that in my situation i`d be a danger to myself and others.
so i dont even think that when drunk, sences can fail you, yeah i might feel overconfident, but at the same time my sences (when falling over, mumbeling nonsence, throwing up, beeing dizzy) tell me i`m drunk and then thought is something that can bring me back to a understanding of basic rules; dont drink and drive, dont piss on that police car, dont drink more, drink water
but obviously i dont have the same expirence as you do
