Most of the suicides I know of happened because of booze. And the drug is available for mass purchase at the store down the block...
It definitely loosens you up, to a point. Maybe 3-8 drinks in it is definitely closer to "the true self".
But in large amounts it definitely creates an over-emotional person. In it's own way it creates emotional reaction spirals that could cause suicide, or lashing out at people, irrational love or hatred of self, etc.
Like i said, biggest fallacy.
3-8? 8 drinks in and I'd be passed out on the floor.
Tbh one or two beers is all I drink these days, but six or seven is what it takes for me to be 'properly drunk' (which I don't enjoy.)
