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?

For me, I’m more willing to dance when I’m drunk because in my head I think everyone’s drunk so I’m not getting judged on my crappy dancing. And if people do say something about how bad my dancing is, I just say…well i was drunk. It puts my ego at ease.
