I saw this. It's propaganda. Liquor does not make you hallucinate unless you're an alcoholic and STOP drinking. I was completely sober when I saw mine. Lucky because I was around 13-14 years old.

Well, unless all these sightings are related to people drinking absinthe, I don't see the connection as alcohol does not cause hallucinations. I guess we could chalk it up to bad judgement, but I know plenty of people who have bad judgement while sober.
alcohol can cause hallucinations, but only in chronic drunks. you have to have a sad old liver and a spongy brain before you start seeing the pink elephants, heh.
what if being drunk doesn't make you see lights that aren't there, but does up the odds of mistaking a plane or swamp gas for a flying saucer?

Hmm, I'm not sure if that's even true. I do know that those who drink heavily and have to quit suddenly can have hallucinations and DT's, however.
This is where we put it into the bad judgement category. Many people don't even need to have a drink to fit in that category.
it's called alcoholic hallucinosis and it doesn't sound like much fun.

cool, thanks for sharing. that third story is super weird!
the consentnus so far is that people see em drunk and sober both, but that mental state doesn't bear on sightings?
