what causes “the spins”? Or, rather the feeling of spinning while intoxicated; especially on THC and alcohol at the same time?

I, and others that I know, have experienced “the spins”, spinning feeling, from consuming alcohol and THC together in varying degrees. Why does one experience this, and why do these substances cause it?

Alcohol dilutes the fluid in your inner ear, making it move faster and therefore making the brain believe you are moving more than you are. Also both alcohol and the funny spice aren’t great for your vision so losing view of the horizon (or a false horizon in the form of literally any horizontal line) stops your brain from figuring out if the inner ear tumble is real or not.
So basically it’s the usual case of brain making things up based on the wrong information at hand. Or it figures out that something IS going wrong and comes to the right conclusion that you have ingested poison like some stupid primate and you throw up to hopefully get rid of it.
