Susan Forward. Men who hate women and the women who love these men (№ 274702)

Drunk or intoxicated people very often intolerant and cruel. However, they have a remarkable ability to forget everything that happened in the past.
"God, I was so drunk last night what don't remember", is a standard form of denial.
