Best Answer

Strokes are caused by blood clots that travel to the brain and obstruct blood flow. If untreated, they cause portions of the brain to die, creating disabilities that last for long periods, and are often fatal.

Alcohol is a neurotoxin (nerve poison) that affects the ability of brain cells to do their job effectively. Drunken people usually recover normal faculties when they sober up, although prolonged use of alcohol can cause permanent changes in the brain that interfere with normal functioning even when not using alcohol.

Actually, you don't. You're just as drunk, and just as likely to make bad decisions. The difference is that the jolt of adrenaline that goes along with being frightened makes you more alert. Alert is not the same as sober. Many drivers who have loaded up on coffee and then had accidents while driving drunk can attest to that.
