I mean, it's a ridiculously stupid meme. Why would a membranotoxic solvent make you any more "troo" to your "self"? Same shit-tier as "dreams are "your subconscious mind" "communicating with conscious one", just ad-hoc cool story

a membranotoxic solvent would make you more "troo" to your "self" if the membranotoxic solvent is a behavioral disinhibitor

This implies that impulse control is somehow not part of "self" which is of course completely ridiculous. Besides the notion that alcohol is "just" a "disinhibitor" does not play well with existing evidence wrt its behavioral effects

i would not entertain any claims that it is "just" a disinhibitor but claims that it isn't one have a tough row to hoe

Well, for one, being fairly nonspecific in its mechanism, it produces an array of effects that vary from individual to individual and even from case-to-case within individual, so the toughest row is backing a claim that alcohol NEVER has a behavioral effect X, for any X

for two, to the extent it does have specific effects (stochastically, nebulously), it anxiolytic effects are well balanced with specific effects with regards to aggression and mood destabilization

taking that together does not produce a picture of "drug brings out your true self" even if I accept, for the purpose of the argument, that reduction of "inhibitions" (impulse control?) brings out a "truer self"

if anything, it alters the self into a different self, with alteration parameters being unstable and stochastic in nature.

across a population, sure pretty fuckin' stable across most individuals

IIRC effects are not actually stable within individuals though of course the effect-likelihood-distribution within given individual is usually not random

a weighted result table with an entry weighted at 90% isn't the worst approximation of stability
