Smart people are socially awkward because they think too much. Get them properly intoxicated and they start to act like regular people, though still socially retarded from lack of experience. Someone ought to write a book like Flowers for Algernon in reverse, where a smart guy takes a pill that makes him dumb. He’ll build up a network of close friends and become invested in their lives, he’ll be the life of the party, and the guy everyone wants to be with. But the pill will wear off and he’ll forget all about them because he’s too busy thinking about stuff again.
