What are the advantages and disadvantages of the cocktail?

Answer 1

The advantages and disadvantages of 'the cocktail' are the same as those generally applicable to the consumption of liquor by fundamentally healthy adults. Given moderate intake, typical advantages include release of stress and increased willingness to socialize. Typical disadvantages are mostly tied to lack of moderation and include loss of appropriate self-awareness, impaired judgment, and deficiencies in physical motor-skills.
