Although the excuse may have been offensive to you, it’s a good example of how messed up our moral meter and priorities get when poisioning our brains for years on end. Even though we say we care about others, it shows in our actions that we put the drink first, above anything and everything else.

So, yes, you can blame the alcohol. Even though it’s self inflicted, there does come to be a point where the brain is damaged and it’s changes everything about us.

Luckily, we can take back control and repair ourselves by simply removing the alcohol from the equation.
