Drink Spiking (Getting Dosed) is Urban Myth

[quote="Shambala"]There is a word that has to come up right now. It's missing from our society and I am going to say it. [size=18]EMPATHY.[/size] If this word was understood and practiced by everyone, the world would be a better place.
Simply put, how would you feel is a mother, sister, brother, father, cousin, wife or friend were in the position that they could be violated because they were too drunk to know better. How would you feel if they were a victim of this kind of crime?
There is no need to recite the laws in this case, just think of EMPATHY and the answers are obvious.

This concludes my sermon and I will shut up now! Have a nice day![/quote]
Of course if it were your mother or brother, sister, uncle,cousin, it would suck if they were drunk and did things they normally would not do when sober ...Lets give America one more reason why sex is a bad thing.
I have lashed out verbally on loved ones while drunk only to wake up and say what the fuck did I do that for? ?Its a hard thing to swallow (forgive the pun.) So when one might wake up from a booze binge and ask what did I do that for, its hard, super hard to admit that you got too drunk to follow your personal morals. Whats the first thing to go when you are drunk? I think your judgement gets lost.
I have yet to meet a person who relishes in the idea they fucked up...its so much easier to save your faith when you can blame someone else.
ETOH is a dangerous drug (just like tylenol and insulin) Much more dangerous than morphine, Tetrahydrocannabinoid, and in moderation...cocaine.

If you act differently when on alcohol, is it alcohol or the real you appearing?

A question might be, why does it make a difference, especially for a burner?

If I drink, I'm only likely to fall asleep sooner.
How I act is still up to me.
So I don't understand this, and I've seen it happen.

Its all real. Me drunk or me sober. There is no "fake" me wandering around until i have a couple shots of whiskey. Alcohol definitely fucks me up. My true feelings are of shame when I reflect upon things I did when I was drunk. I have lost control of myself many times over....yes...I am working on it...
Thanks for the reminder how I act is still upon me. I have never seen myself connected to puppet strings...

Superfreakonomics says that walking drunk is eight times more dangerous than driving drunk.
Still five times more dangerous if you factor in risk to others.
