      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.

      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

            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.
