Hehe yes the stuff have a way of inflating peoples thoughts about them self in many ways.
I was only a active drinker for 7 - 10 years, and during that period i did much more stupid stuff than i did the following decades as a pothead.
Though i must also admit that it do seem like pot have the same effect on people.
In my world being drunk or stoned have never been a valid excuse for anything, and when i was drinking i often felt like reaching for that excuse, though i have almost never been so drunk i have not been able to remember what i have done.
People that become that drunk, really have a big problem.
On X mas i found out my oldest nieces BF lost his driving license before he was 20, so evidently he have some serious driving problems, none of all the people i have ever know have lost their license in that young a age.
But back then it was also harder than now, as a 18 YO new driver you also only have 2 marks on your license, so when they are gone you have to retake the driving license.
I will also gladly admit that it is down to pure luck i have never crashed any of my cars, or gotten any speeding tickets.
In 24 hours i will be drunk, and in 48 hours i will be sober and it will be another year before i am drunk again.
