WHat do you suppose the following meant:
"The fact is a person can be intoxicated with his (or her) own stress hormones. I venture to say that this sort of drunkenness has caused much more harm to society than the alcoholic kind."
Please give 3 exampls of what do you suppose the above meant.
Thank you :)

Well, a crime of passion is the first thing that comes to mind - someone who hurts or kills someone in the heat of the moment, due to the overload of stress and anxiety...
Plus, when you are overly stressed, you tend to say or do things that you wouldn't normally do...extreme examples would be school shootings, work-place shootings, etc.
I would also say, from personal experience, that high stress and anxiety makes me more of a reckless driver, taking chances that I wouldn't normally take...
That's a really interesting question! Is this for an essay or paper of some sort?

To me Drunk with power comes to the front. Some one that is given to much power, that does things, only because he has the power to do them (Castro for example) not that they are for the good of everyone, only really benifits him(her) and their friends& family.
A sugar High can stimulate people, just like alcohol can. So to me anything that can stimulate a person to act differently (porn) is intoxicated with that substance no matter what it is.

Well adrenaline and cortisol sometimes get called stress hormones. They say some people do get addicted "adrenaline junkies." The difference is the drunk can't see the side of the road, but the thrill seeker sees it and goes there for fun.

Stress as a whole has been known to cause forgetfulness, illness, lower immunities, reckless behavior.
Anger (the most known form of stress ) can engulf you and cause you to do stupid things, driving in a rage, you speed, weave in and out of cars, have tunnel vision and don't tend to pay attention to things around you. It can also lead to murder, battery, assault, rape, etc.
Hope this helps...
