The only fact you have highlighted sir is that 'some' people can't handle their alcohol.
Originally posted by @chaney3I am not dismissing any immoral behaviour. I am simply saying that getting drunk is neither immoral nor is it an excuse for immoral behaviour.
Why are you dismissing the fact that drunk people often make bad decisions 'because' they are drunk??
Drunk & bad decisions go hand in hand.

Soberness is no guarantee of good decisions.
Originally posted by @chaney3People should simply take full responsibility for their behaviour, regardless of whether they are drunk or sober. If someone cannot handle their alcohol in this regard, they ought to refrain from consuming it.
Both of you, FMF and Ghost, are trying to act mightier than thou, and you're minimizing a common fact: being drunk means you are highly likely to act differently than when sober.
Why are you disputing this common knowledge?

Originally posted by @chaney3Not at all. I simply shared with you my own relationship with alcohol.

And I agree, alcohol can make one act differently. For me, I go very quiet before falling asleep. Others may become angry, disinhibited, while others still merry and sociable.
I think your generalizations here have a repressed significance.
