Eli5: Why do alcohol make us change preferences?

1.00K views

I totally get beer goggles or being more extroverted when drunk, lower inhibitions, worse judgement and all that.

But how does it change why we want to do. If I’m sober i actively dislike the dancefloor, I don’t know what to do, and i don’t see the point? If I’m already drunk though, i absolutely love it?

Same thing with cigarettes, i have friends you couldn’t pay to smoke while sober. Or making plans you would never ever make while sober?
