I have rarely(if ever) met the 'mediocer drunk' It causes people to fall one way or the other.. Usually to there baser instinct, but not allways...
I guess(in typeing this) have changed it to passive or aggressive behaviour.. It happens in both male and female folk.. So gender has nothing to do with it..

Hi nice to meet you...I'm a mediocre drunk...pretty much my mood stays exactly the same..the only difference is "Yes I Can jump that Bollard!" ..and the falling and brokeness etc..
It's mostly psychological but psychology is based around behaviour caused by your neurons which are of course physiological..alcohol is a deppressant which means it suppresses neural activity making you stupider (also making you more suggestable and easier to please) synapses fire slower so reactions slow and speach slurs etc.
As a suppressant it also stems the flow of endorphins the brains natural mood lifters which can make you deppressed and moody but it also relaxes you...in truth your mood becomes extremely delicate so if a situation occurs a normaly very controlled person can act out of character and become angry.
The main rules are..don't drink alone and don't drink to forget..if you are already in a bad mood drink isn't going to improve matters just as smoking doesn't help the nervous.
