But it's all part of going out and having a laugh.

What with the slurred speech, blurred/double vision, lack of co-ordination, vomiting – how could anyone resist. Then there are the after-effects (hangover) including headache, tiredness, irritability & mouth like a badger's arse. Believe it or not it's a depressant (downer) which heightens emotions - so it can make you feel bitter, depressed & tearful or turn you into angry violent beer monster. It's also high in calories - so make that a fat violent beer monster.

Loss of inhibitions can lead to risky sex, pulling ugly people, being taken advantage of by dodgy blokes & royally pissing off your mates. Oh, and then forgetting about it as alcohol also causes memory loss/blackouts - hence the well-known scenario of waking up in a stranger's bed & not remembering their name/your own name/whether you had sex/if you used protection/what on earth you were thinking of… Still sound like a good time?
