    they are more than twice as drunk as before and they are less drunk than they really are

    I can’t make any sense of this part.

      Sorry that wasn’t very well written.

      The point is that alcoholics are not MORE drunk than non alcoholics on 8 drinks. They are just as hammered (but not more) than non alcoholics. The problem is that they THINK they are not as drunk while a nonalcoholic may recognize their impairment
