So now we can see why it is so easy to drink too much. The receptors telling us to stop are deadened, the feeling of tranquillity quickly disperses leaving a corresponding feeling of anxiety such that more drink is required, and the full extent of illness caused by what we are drinking is not fully apparent until some hours after we have stopped. So it is really quite understandable why people tend to drink too much and can end up in quite a bad way from drinking.
