Drunk Fighting with Intimate Partner.
Harold and Dr. Wetbrain one day were listening to a country radio station and came across an awesome song. “Wait In the Truck”. By Hardy, featuring Lainey Wilson. In this song there are a few important lines.
– “She was bruised and broke from head to toe with a tear with her blood-stained shirt.”
– “All the whiskey scars I hid.”
What is wrong with these assholes beating up the one they love? So, my question is. Why does alcohol consumption contribute to violent behaviour?
Some experts say that built up inhibitions due to our society status breaks open when the alcohol weakens your mental control center in the brain.
OK a little brain science. Blood through 2 sets of arteries with alcohol gets to your brain. Cerebrum, the largest part of your brain controls all your senses as well as reasoning and emotions. The frontal lobe of the Cerebrum controls personality, behavior and emotions just to mention a few. Emotions like anger or lust.
Note: Personally I would rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.
Problem #1 is when you are drunk you just see what is in front of you. Tunnel vision. So, you don’t see the full 360 degrees and future consequences of the situation at hand.
Problem #2 is while drunk, of course you are not thinking properly with excessive alcohol effecting the part of the brain that associates with inhibitions such as anger or lust which at this point you have none.
Noted that 55% of violent partner abuse was due to alcohol consumption.
– In one year 10 million women and men are abused by their intimate partner, drunk and that’s just we know about. Many times, authorities are not called.
– 11% of homicides are caused due to booze.
Well done song, ‘Wait in The Truck’. Sadly, though I have come across women in the that state of wickedness. I sure wanted to do what the guy in the song did. I fear that I am gutless! Harold your passed out again… Harold!
