Agreed.

You are both like a bottle of milk, but only Second Son has his lid on. As a consequence of your openness, your milk has gone sour.

lol My sister certainly does.

She tends to host our Christmas gatherings and wants everyone to be perpetually jovial.

I wonder if anyone would admit to having a 'desire' to do something, but keep that desire at bay while sober.....but then if drunk actually go through with it.
I'm certain that many affairs, for example, start while one is under the influence of alcohol.

It's cause and effect.
Without the alcohol, the affair doesn't happen.

We were discussing intoxication and desires of the flesh, not a mere drink or two.
The dilemma here is that most deny having desires of the flesh, and instead call it "immoral behavior" as if their minds are absent of these desires.
We all have the battle going on in the mind, and being drunk highly increases the likelihood of carrying out these desires, that would never unfold when sober.

If you can't handle alcohol and behave in an immoral way when you're drunk, don't drink.

Perhaps you should stay sober then. There is no "battle going on in my mind" when I am drunk. If you think there is a battle going on in your mind when you drink and you pose some sort of danger to others as a result, you should stay sober.

Location really. (And a bigger house).

She also enjoys cooking. 🙂

The morality of a well-adjusted adult doesn't disintegrate under the influence of alcohol. If sobriety alone is keeping someone decent (or religion for that matter) then the person's morality is itself suspect.
