We’ve all seen people either personally or in videos taking a pretty serious tumble while drunk. Why do they seem to be able to get back up seemingly unhurt? I mean from personal experience I know that falling while drunk may not hurt at the time but it should of. What makes us seemingly impervious to pain whilst drunk?
Thanks!

If you look at someone who has developed falling as a skill, like a judo competitor or something, you’ll see that they’re very relaxed as they land. They can be picked up over someone else’s head and slammed into the ground, do it ten times for reps, and be completely unhurt, just through technique and experience. I imagine that severe intoxication gives a bit of that relaxed falling style. And you would feel the injuries less too, since alcohol deadens your senses.
