Why does whisky + balcony make people think they can fly?

[Bouji]

I've often sat on my balcony, drinking a Black Label and Soda, and the thought of floating/flying of the balcony has often crossed my mind... Of course I have never actually done this... This is also after copious amounts of Whisky Soda.
Then I was hanging out with a friend one evening, yet again over (copious) Black Label Soda, and I opened up the balcony because he was smoking (I occasionally enjoy a cigar, but will always open up the window to smoke.) And he said mentioned floating off the balcony...
Then there was a small gathering at my apartment, another person started telling his wife he could fly off the balcony! (his drink of choice again was Black Label) Suffice to say this man's wife quickly pulled him inside...
whisky + balcony = human flight??

You really need to lay off the sauce for a while. And see a shrink.

I do not mean that unkindly.

Something deep inside you is telling you to jump. That something is also smart enough to know that you won't fly.

Perhaps, but I'm not the only one having these thoughts after drinking...

Move to a first floor apartment. It might save your life.

It's what's called a dulled sense of reality from drinking way too much combined with a primal desire.

"Ah believe I can fly, Ah believe I can touch the sky, Ah think about it every night and day, to spread my wings and fly away. I believe I can soar, I see me running through that open dooooooor. I belieeeeeeve I can fly."

Drink less. Don't try it.

Best,

Alcohol disinhibits. I always have an overwhelming urge to kick people in the shin or the crotch.

^Jeebus. Most disinhibited (nice word) people simply sleep with ugly chicks.

Urinating on fourteen-year old girls is apparently the next step.

Most of my regrets in life are from drinking. Most of best stories are too though, but I'd still rather be a teetotaler. Damn my Irish heritage!

Don't forget that the events/moments you regret also make great stories

My friend knows someone who took a lot of shrooms and thought he could fly...and fell to his death from the 10 floor of a building.

Almost as bad are small old guys who suddenly think they can fight. I've seen a few just get destroyed (not by me).

Woman: "You are drunk!"
Man: "Yes, but you, madam, are ugly and tomorrow I will be sober."

I think that was said by Winston Churchill? Might be wrong. I try to remind myself of this every time I embarrass myself whilst intoxicated.
