Why does closing your eyes when your drunk make everything much worse?
In: Biology
Simply put, your brain uses all kinds of information to know which way is up. When your eyes are open, you can clearly see the ground, the ceiling, the sky, etc and that helps your brain understand where it’s standing even when you’re drunk.
With your eyes closed, your brain is purely going off your sense of balance to know which way is up. Alcohol tends to mess with that a lot quicker than your sight so if that’s all it has to get information from, your brain has no idea what gravity is anymore and starts spinning.
(this doesn’t work as well when you’re so drunk the room is spinning though, then everything is awful!)
