Originally posted by FrenchQueenIt depends where you live but only up to a certain extent, as nowhere is really safe. I do walk home from work when I do late shifts, which happens often and I feel safe as I know the way well, I'm fit etc... but I would not do this after having drunk. At the end of the day, you have to know yourself and look after yourself, that's what it boils down to.
What do you mean by a "real dog" anyway? Someone who's drunk is very vulnerable, not having the reflexes and energy to act swiflty if they're being attacked for instance.
Edit: I can't edit a previous post so I'll say this here; I said earlier that alcohol makes one more sociable etc... and less shy towards people of the opposite sex and just wanted to add and people of the same sex too .
Originally posted by shavixmirWell, consider the alternative. If I would decide to walk home drunk while sober, I would realize (since I am not drunk, I am capable of logical thinking) that this is impossible. So I would have to revise my decision and just walk home sober. Which again would make me paranoid in your view. So it seems I can't avoid being paranoid.
How is it NOT?

I think you're repressing your impulses.
But, WATCH OUT!!!! repression of the impulses results in paranoia...
