When you're intoxicated your judgment is GONE or at the very least compromised. You are NOT your true self.
Understand, I am not making excuses for Mel Gibson's behavior. As a recovering alcoholic, his fatal mistake was taking that first drink.
Your judgement is impaired so you just might say something your ordinarily wouldn't say publicly...like F**KING JEWS! But that's not something you just come up with out of thin air. That's the kind of judgement that would be impaired. I know about drinking, believe me...when I used to drink...whatever I thought came out MORE SO...if I debated politics, I'd be a louder right winger...I wouldn't say I was a libertarian? Do you understand what I'm saying by true self?
