Alcohol enhances the inhibitory actions of the neurotransmitter GABA, leading to significant impairment in judgment and the potential for unleashing previously punished behaviors.
The effects of alcohol can remove social filters, leading individuals to express thoughts and beliefs they might otherwise keep hidden, revealing what one truly believes.
