I haven’t done formal research on the topic, but as far as I can see this is correct- alcohol just lowers your inhibitions and makes you more suggestable, therefore easier to influence by your enviroment- you’re way more likely to be depressed and sipping whiskey slowly by yourself than partying with Coronas with lime.

It would be interesting to look at regional ideas of what different alcohols are appropriate for and see if the “effects” change with it

Hurricanes aren’t indigenous to south america, but if they spread there they will have no natrual predators and become extremely invasive

Of course it is. Treason is a specific type of betrayal- a subset of betrayals if you will. That’s why there is nuance- they aren’t the same thing, because treason is more specific and doesn’t apply in this case
