The downside is your lack of situational awareness, judgement and physical coordination will make you an easy target for anyone wishing to do you harm. If you're happy to be "easy pickins" for any criminal thug on the street, drink away. At least it won't hurt so bad with the anaesthetic effect of the alcohol. My faith in my "fellow man" is at an all time low. Even 18 year old widows have to blow away armed thugs at the door of their own homes today.

Running out of Scotch!

(...or a massive hangover, whichever comes first.)

Cheers!
