Cripes. Where were all you poster children for the perpetually outraged when countless politicians said things that were just as blatantly racist *while stone cold sober?* The guy gets blitzed, and in a drunken stupor blathers things that his bigoted jackass dad spouted in front of him every day of his childhood… what a friggin surprise!

That, alcohol is lowering my inhibitions is a crock, it just makes me an idiot. Now all that being said, the real reason I drink if I'm going to play rummy with my wife, is because she'll drink too, which is about the only way I'll have a chance. ;-) Robin…

Tue, 22 Aug 2006 17:38:26 +0000 http://xrlq.com/2006/08/21/in-vino-non-veritas/#comment-88960 I'm sorry, Joel, I'm not quite clear on what you're saying. You're arguing that, if you play Rummy drunk and throw out cards that cause you to lose it's <em>not</em> because your judgement and rational thinking are impaired, but because your inhibitions are lowered? So, what, you're saying you have a deep-seated desire to lose, but your inhibitions usually keep you from doing so? I think "alcohol makes you dumber" is probably the better explanation. Given the number of times I've seen my friends tell bald-faced lies while drunk (I'm not a drinker myself, so I have to go with second-hand anecdotes, sorry), I find it hard to believe that alcohol works as a truth serum, revealing one's true personality and/or beliefs. The fact that Gibson would make racist comments while drunk and angry may give us insight into his true feelings, but it just as easily may <em>not</em>.

I don't need any "inhibitions" against bedding an ugly chick. Unless my brain is impaired, there's nothing to inhibit since I had no desire to do such a thing in the first place. Lowering inhibitions is only one of many effects alcohol has on people, particularly hard core alcoholics. Nonsense. I don’t need any “inhibitions” against bedding an ugly chick.

Enough alcohol and your inhibition to bed a nasty babe is torn asunder. The same could be said about Gibson's inhibitions to voice his feelings about Jews.

But trust me, I really wanted her to call rummy on those 3 Aces! I swear!

Dude, you really have to get past this alcohol-as-truth-serum stuff. Alcohol impairs your brain. All of it. Not just the part that tells you whether it is socially acceptable to do X, Y and Z. Not just the part that tells you which chicks are hot and which ones are not. It impairs everything.

He may think he's about to score with a hottie only to find out the next morning that she not only isn't hot, she ain't even a she... Just like getting drunk left Gibson unable to figure out it wasn't Nazi uniforms the cops who stopped him were wearing.
