Like the drunken Russian soldiers we get to see dieing? In other words: I doubt it. Is there actual proof for this happening? If so, how would the effect of alcohol be countered?
There’s tons of study on both alcohol and adrenaline’s effects on the body. As far as a study about sobering up because of adrenaline, a quick search didn’t yield any. Probably because of ethics concerns I’d imagine. But judging by the votes, a number of people have experienced this first hand.
I’m sure it worked the first few times. In a situation like that you’ll be under constant stress, that’s not at all comparable with suddenly finding yourself in an emergency.
If shit really hits the fan you’ll sober up in no time.
Nothing like an ol’ reliable adrenaline rush
Or completely freeze in a panic…
Those people panic sober too.

Adrenaline is a drug and in my experience when it kicks in, the impairment from other drugs abates pretty quick.
If you think about it, it’s pretty wild that we literally grew a drug dispenser to carry around at all time, just in case
So is there a source for this?

A few votes are clearly all we need. To me, it looks exactly the opposite: that this is at best a urban legend.

NGL on the worst days, I absolutely do critical work after slamming a few pints or eating some edibles.
When I was younger, I absolutely did sober. But its getting harder and harder in my 40s.
The last emergency, it was Friday afternoon and I was blazed. Had to tell them I can’t be the primary and my backup took the wheel.
Maybe you should find a different line of work.
