If shit really hits the fan you'll sober up in no time.
Nothing like an ol' reliable adrenaline rush
Or completely freeze in a panic...
Those people panic sober too.
Like the drunken Russian soldiers we get to see dieing? In other words: I doubt it. Is there actual proof for this happening? If so, how would the effect of alcohol be countered?
Adrenaline is a drug and in my experience when it kicks in, the impairment from other drugs abates pretty quick.
If you think about it, it's pretty wild that we literally grew a drug dispenser to carry around at all time, just in case
So is there a source for this?
There’s tons of study on both alcohol and adrenaline’s effects on the body. As far as a study about sobering up because of adrenaline, a quick search didn’t yield any. Probably because of ethics concerns I’d imagine. But judging by the votes, a number of people have experienced this first hand.
A few votes are clearly all we need. To me, it looks exactly the opposite: that this is at best a urban legend.
I'm sure it worked the first few times. In a situation like that you'll be under constant stress, that's not at all comparable with suddenly finding yourself in an emergency.
NGL on the worst days, I absolutely do critical work after slamming a few pints or eating some edibles.
When I was younger, I absolutely did sober. But its getting harder and harder in my 40s.
The last emergency, it was Friday afternoon and I was blazed. Had to tell them I can't be the primary and my backup took the wheel.
Maybe you should find a different line of work.
