Mean drunks have a chemical excuse, too.
“Mean drunks have a chemical excuse, too.”
I loved the endorphins. Mellowed me right out. Running made me happier, calmer, healthier, more alert, and never caused rage. I really miss it.
Maybe it’s the increase in testosterone that causes the rage. If a person is used to operating on virtually no testosterone, even a minor increase might tip him over the edge.
I don’t understand how endorphins could make people angry. After running, these chemicals make me feel good, pleasantly tired, laid-back, with a sense of accomplishment.
