I have one very visceral memory of this happening. I was so close to pass out drunk (but I didn’t care, because I was just camping with friends and family) But then a buddy got into a big fight with his girlfriend, and was about to drunkenly drive his dirtbike all the way back home through the dark uneven Forest road. (And if he got through that it would’ve been highway) I immediately felt myself sober up and another friend and I stayed up for hours after everyone went to sleep talking to him and keeping him from leaving. (He was very persistent, but we got him to go to bed eventually.)
