I have a question it relates kind of to me but can be ageneral question also.
im wondering what a persons ability to do things while under the influence of drugs or alcohol are? and can they be aware of what their doing?
so let me speak on me, i suffer OCD or Pure O and have fears of acting out violently or sexually when i know i never would sooo my question is, if someone has this thinking, and they were to drink to much could they say kill someone or harm someone sexually if they didnt have that type of behaviour in them?
like you here of people raping people while drunk, i guess these people are aware of what their doing?/ but act apon it more easily while their drunk but only because they already had that inpulse?? same as a killer? like a average person couldnt get drunk or high and kill someone and forget about it or not remember or even be capable right?

Don't think you would do anything too outrageous, sweets.
If you've ocd and control issues you might find yourself analyzing your actions when drunk. When I get sozzled, I find a detached part of me observing my actions and making decisions on whether I'm drunk enough to do this or that. I don't think I'm more likely to forcibly rape, assault, or kill someone than any other time. Mind you, I might do things I regret, but I'm not going to be hurting people, and no sex unless they're similarly uninhibited.
So yes, one loses their inhibitions, but if you're not the person who would grope, fondle, assault, etc, then I don't think drinking will magically turn you into a masher or a killer.
