I tend to find the opposite which is pretty funny because I figure out who I am when I don't care what others think of me or when I'm not overanalyzing my actions. However if those aren't big problems for somebody I could see how they wouldn't benefit in the same way.

I think a lot of people look back at choices they make drunk or high and think no that's not me but really what the hell are we if we aren't our actions. Getting high or drunk doesn't change a person, it just emphasizes traits that already exist. Which in my mind brings them the surface to be processed.

I could see how that would work differently for different people though.
