If someone has non-alcoholic drinks they think are alcoholic and then they proceed to get "wasted" and make an ass out of themselves, is that a legit placebo effect happening? (lemmy.world)

Read variations on this story a few times and it usually involves there being a mixup or whatever and someone "drinks" to "excess" but its not actually spiked or alcohol or anything psychotropic and they end up making an ass out of themselves and everybody else knew they didnt actually drink.

Are they faking or did they experience an honest placebo experience or something else crazy?

Interesting note on this point.

The kinds of behaviours we see when people are intoxicated is very cultural dependent.

The loud drunk, for example, is not something you see in every culture!

And of course, settings within a culture vary and essentially form subcultures in themselves
