False; if people are able to consider the future consequences of current actions, they are likely to act as aggressive when they’re drunk as when they’re sober. however, if they lack that trait, they will most likely become more aggressive when they’re drunk as they’re not in the right mindset. therefore, alcohol CAN be a cause of aggression sometimes. maybe that person is aggressive when they’re sober or lack cognitive skills. you wouldn’t know unless you tried to figure it out. sorry for the lengthy explanation!
