Not necessarily. He may have made the same decision of sober.

Being drunk certainly doesn't fucking help the situation though. Is everyone disagreeing with me drunk right now?

I think you underestimate how dumb a lot of people are even when they’re sober.

The fact that your comment is upvoted and Anonynominous’s is downvoted just further supports your position.

Irregardless of anyone’s place on the smart——dumb gradient, being noticeably drunk introduces additional mental & physical disadvantages, & increases the chance of accidents. I mean, of course, right?

The heavily downvoted comment said that alcohol was the problem. Ofc alcohol didn’t help the situation - just like most situations. I’m just saying sober people can make devastatingly dumb choices too (ffs, especially young men).
