Eli5: How and why does beer armour work?

603 views

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!

1) Alcohol can make you tense up less when falling so can be more flexible during the fall.
2) Alcohol can keep you from realizing you’re hurt or from feeling the pain, so you may get back up and be ‘ok’ when actually you’ve been hurt.
