How Alcohol Fuels Society's Dysfunction: Unmasking the Perpetual Drunk - Earnest Mann Show
The Hidden Impact of Perpetual Drunkenness in Our Society
Greetings, Earnest Mann here! Today, I want to share something deeply personal. We often overlook the far-reaching effects of alcohol consumption on our daily lives. Whether you realize it or not, we live in a society filled with perpetual drunks. Even if you’re only drinking a few times a week, it can still have a lingering impact on your judgment and behavior. The dysfunction and chaos you see around you might be more connected to this than you think.
The Lingering Effects of Alcohol: More Than Just a Hangover
When people drink heavily, especially over the weekend, the effects don't just disappear by Monday. That residual drunkenness can carry over for days, affecting how we interact with the world. This perpetual state of being "not all there" creates an underlying irritability and dysfunction that affects everything from personal relationships to professional interactions.
A Society of Perpetual Drunks: The Unseen Consequences
The reality is, we’re dealing with a society that is, to a significant extent, perpetually drunk. This isn't just about alcohol—it's compounded by other socially accepted substances like weed. The combination of these substances leads to a roller coaster of impaired judgment and heightened anxiety, which permeates every aspect of daily life. If you've ever wondered why people seem more irritable or crazy, especially around the weekend, this could be a big part of the answer.

Speaker:another most of the things that I talk
Speaker:about are in fact
Speaker:personal because it affects the way I
Speaker:have to live in the
Speaker:world and um the same thing I guess can
Speaker:be said for yourself so I would
Speaker:sincerely
Speaker:appreciate if you would
Speaker:appreciate um that it does take a fair
Speaker:bit of courage to get on something which
Speaker:basically shows yourself to the entire
Speaker:world
Speaker:potentially week in and week
Speaker:out um and you know it's a that's a
Speaker:pretty big slice of vulnerability so
Speaker:just please I just ask that you bear
Speaker:that in mind and also if you would cut
Speaker:me for um cut me some slack for being
Speaker:you know intellectually honest because
Speaker:you see where I'm coming from is kind of
Speaker:like an ideological trap that I can't
Speaker:say virtually anything it's kind of like
Speaker:you know having having the [ __ ] duct
Speaker:tape over your mouth because of woke and
Speaker:all that so if I kick around words that
Speaker:are you know going to upset your
Speaker:porcelain [ __ ] sensibilities like
Speaker:[ __ ] or [ __ ] face or you know a u a
Speaker:bhf um if you know what that is um yeah
Speaker:I I would totally understand if you went
Speaker:somewhere else but if you want some
Speaker:intellectual honesty and maybe what some
Speaker:people would consider to be I don't know
Speaker:this ancient old thing called
Speaker:honesty if you're looking for some of
Speaker:that this is your
Speaker:place um so that's what uh that's what
Speaker:I'm
Speaker:offering and I hope um
Speaker:I I hope that this something you can
Speaker:relate to I want you to take this
Speaker:seriously but not too seriously you know
Speaker:you still have to laugh at this but what
Speaker:I'm I'm about to get to and talk about
Speaker:is along those lines and it's something
Speaker:I deal with every day and as a matter of
Speaker:fact whether you know it or
Speaker:not it's probably something you deal
Speaker:with as well okay so let me get right
Speaker:around to
Speaker:it as you should well know there is so
Speaker:much
Speaker:dysfunction and crazy going
Speaker:on and I believe that I have a uh I have
Speaker:an answer I I have an answer of
Speaker:this state that we're in almost
Speaker:universally in this country and
Speaker:before you laugh at me just hear me out
Speaker:that's all I'm asking look this even the
Speaker:whole video [ __ ] it's only around 10
Speaker:minutes so and
Speaker:hopefully even if you don't take me
Speaker:seriously you'll get a
Speaker:laugh so that's what this is
Speaker:about [ __ ] I mean it's free
Speaker:entertainment
Speaker:so but as far as I'm concerned and I am
Speaker:totally serious about this you want to
Speaker:know the primary reason why everything
Speaker:is or or I won't say the entire reason
Speaker:but I'm going to say a good part of it
Speaker:okay
Speaker:okay the reason why there is so just so
Speaker:much friction and and and just [ __ ]
Speaker:upness and Chaos
Speaker:primarily
Speaker:is everybody's [ __ ] drunk
Speaker:now
Speaker:there's several ways actually to be
Speaker:drunk and a lot of people don't know
Speaker:this but it really is and what I'm
Speaker:postulating though is I'm talking
Speaker:specifically about
Speaker:alcohol now laugh go ahead laugh if
Speaker:you're laughing mock me [ __ ] laugh
Speaker:but hear me
Speaker:out if you've ever been in a in your
Speaker:life a Tavern Watering Hole whatever the
Speaker:you call it where you come from you know
Speaker:especially if you're not in the mood to
Speaker:drink a lot or to be around a bunch of
Speaker:people who are drinking a lot there it's
Speaker:not pleasant it's fine if you're [ __ ]
Speaker:drunk and you're with a bunch of other
Speaker:drunks and W you know and you're just
Speaker:being drunk together and you're [ __ ]
Speaker:all
Speaker:drunk not so much if you have to end the
Speaker:drunks I don't know how bartenders do it
Speaker:frankly but
Speaker:anyhow um yeah not a lot of fun and then
Speaker:if you have to if the cops are called
Speaker:and you got to have the cops come in you
Speaker:know then that's certainly not pleasant
Speaker:for them and that's pretty much become a
Speaker:pretty solid routine every weekend here
Speaker:in America but here's a thing that most
Speaker:people don't
Speaker:realize you see just because that
Speaker:happens on a front Friday night that
Speaker:[ __ ] carries over depending on the
Speaker:person depending on their age their
Speaker:health depending on how much they drink
Speaker:depend just depending there's a lot of
Speaker:variables but that [ __ ] can carry on it
Speaker:carries
Speaker:over three say 3 to five days and that's
Speaker:if that's if they don't even have one
Speaker:beer or one other piece of alcohol in
Speaker:between that time so
Speaker:what I mean by this is that that person
Speaker:who was at the bar of the club on a
Speaker:Friday
Speaker:night and they were an
Speaker:[ __ ] and uh or at a house party or
Speaker:what have you there's a pretty good
Speaker:chance that even by Tuesday or Wednesday
Speaker:the residual of that is still holding
Speaker:on and it still makes them an [ __ ]
Speaker:maybe not quite the level of un
Speaker:uninhibited [ __ ] that they were at
Speaker:Friday night's
Speaker:party um usually it's the anxiety and uh
Speaker:you know they're very very tense very on
Speaker:edge uh you know
Speaker:the because that's what the booze does
Speaker:to you after you know 24 to 48 hours
Speaker:you're just super sensitive most folks
Speaker:know this to hearing and the sounds
Speaker:everything's Amplified and it really is
Speaker:just kind of like an ice piit going
Speaker:through your [ __ ] head and you're
Speaker:just super
Speaker:irritable not pleasant to be
Speaker:around also in addition to that you're
Speaker:not exactly your your brain it's just
Speaker:you're looking you're you're just you're
Speaker:not there you're that's my point you're
Speaker:not all
Speaker:there
Speaker:now it's one thing if that's a barroom
Speaker:full of
Speaker:people now imagine a
Speaker:whole you know apartment complex a town
Speaker:Village
Speaker:City we can't get so many things
Speaker:together on an even K because to one
Speaker:extent or
Speaker:another even if you only have a few
Speaker:drinks say twice a
Speaker:week you're you're still affected you're
Speaker:judg
Speaker:you're you're [ __ ] you're not normal
Speaker:your brain is not all the way there you
Speaker:would have to take
Speaker:seriously to dry out your brain you
Speaker:would need like a again depending on a
Speaker:lot of factors you'd need a fullon week
Speaker:of no booze none not one
Speaker:none and if you can't do that
Speaker:you know if you're having you tie a good
Speaker:portion of drinking on a Friday in the
Speaker:weekend and then you know Tuesday rolls
Speaker:around okay you Cruise in the bar you
Speaker:you know to knock back two or three
Speaker:drinks or couple beers two three beers
Speaker:at least
Speaker:minimum you are in a state on a roller
Speaker:coaster
Speaker:state of Perpetual
Speaker:drunkenness and
Speaker:what we have what I'm what I'm
Speaker:postulating to
Speaker:you is that we have a society of
Speaker:Perpetual drunks and that's just the
Speaker:booze that's not the now
Speaker:Ubi socially accepted use of of
Speaker:weed which comboed with that okay that's
Speaker:anyone's guess and I'm not you know I'm
Speaker:not don't mean to be I'm not here to be
Speaker:prescriptive or preachy I don't mean it
Speaker:that way it's just the [ __ ] hilarity
Speaker:if you think about it that from the time
