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?

There’s a chunk of your brain in the front called the prefrontal cortex. And another piece called amygdala. They control decisions and fear respectively .
Alcohol, and it’s metabolized product, acetylaldehyde, slows nerve conduction , which means like going from highspeed internet to something like dial up (for example)
When you have enough of it In your system, things go slower in your head, so those two chunks of your brain mentioned above won’t work or respond as quickly to stop you doing things that you normally wouldn’t , or feared
