It is the uninhibited you. The real juice is that the real you isn’t the uninhibited you. https://twitter.com/hl_blue/status/1292398659087339520
So let me expand on this a bit.
Your drunk self is your inhibited, unfiltered, primal self, depending on how much you’ve drank and what opportunities and resources you have.
It’s who you are without logic. But we aren’t that. No real person is devoid of reason and training.

If I say “let’s rob a bank” while drunk, does that make my real self a bank robber? No! Does it mean I really want to rob a bank? No!
It just means it’s a thought that came to mind & at that time my brain is unable to summon my logic, training, values etc to kill that thought.

And therein lies the reason we cannot give consent or be trusted to make decisions like driving while under the influence.
Because you’re unable to think through the situation. You’ve not applied the human filters of logic, conscience, consequences, training, values, etc.

Your real self is NOT you’re unfiltered, base self. Like I said earlier, no sane human is devoid of reasoning or training. The absence of cognitive function is a mental illness.
Your real self is your base self plus all the learning and reasoning you’ve developed along the way.

And most importantly, the biggest demonstration of our real selves isn’t what we say but the actions and decisions we make on a daily.
I’m not malicious because of one malicious thought or utterance. It’s actions that confirm malice.

That’s also why regardless of what Erica says, her actions is what is and will continue to be used to judge her.
