Why people tend to get more agressive when drunk
In: Biology
The frontal lobe is impaired by alcohol and stops working properly. It is responsible for higher order thinking and allows people to control their behavior against emotions like anger. Not being able to control their behavior makes people more reactive to emotions and more likely to act on their emotional impulses.
It isn’t that people get more aggressive it’s that the emotional filter stops working properly and makes it easier for impulsive emotions to run uncontrolled.
