It’s normal for me too! I feel very fuzzy and when it’s over I can’t really remember what I did in that state

It is normal it’s like being trapped in a glass bubble or looking through someone else’s eyes and not being in control

I like that, I usually say drunk you can think clearly and move but it doesn't seem to connect or function properly and you can forget things the next day

It’s not ‘normal’ but it’s common. I relate :) so you’re not alone there!
