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?

Irregardless isn't a word.

It’s a North American word (info courtesy of Oxford English Dictionary)

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).
