in Alcohol and Other Drugs, Denial Tags: drunk or sober?
Sloshed, trollied, hammered, plastered. We’ve done a sterling job of inventing words for the inebriated state, but when it comes to judging from their behaviour how much a person has drunk, we could do (a lot) better.
It truly is an issue of how much we’ve had to drink, not how we act. The effect of the drug on our brains is consistent, but because we can learn to act sober, we fool even ourselves.
