@GwenTheKween @StephenTallentyre @0xabad1dea some people follow that path and improve, others not so much.
I don't know how many of the people I've heard of who were "only saying slurs because they were drunk" are people who were genuinely trying to improve and slipped up, and how many were masking most of the time and couldn't maintain the mask when they were drunk/high/otherwise altered.
I used to know someone who was insufferable when drunk because they knew ppl would say, that’s just the drink, and they took full advantage of that permission to be insufferable without consequences. @RandomDamage @GwenTheKween @0xabad1dea @StephenTallentyre

My father informed me that what the Navy says is ...
"Everything you do while drunk are things you wanted to do while sober. You will be held responsible for them."
.
Don't "give people a free pass" for "the alcohol made me do it. No, that's the real you -- when you're not hiding it.

Alcohol affects impulse control, not core values or personality, which is why if I'm ever drunk there will be no chocolate in the house the next morning and I'll probably be passed out at my keyboard
