Does alcohol dull one's sense of pain?!
I've never been physically injured while drunk so I don't really have experience..
I've heard that alcohol thins your blood so you would bleed more readily if something happened?
Answers: Like.. if you were drunk, and fell down a flight of stairs and broke stuff, would it still hurt as bad? or if you got stabbed in a bar fight, got a minor flesh wound, like what?

I think alcohol dulls your sense of pretty much everything!I think it's more because it'a a central nervous system depressent so you wouldn't feel as acutely while drunk (though the next day you'll more than make up for it with the awful hangover as well as the injury!).Not so sure about the whole alcohol thinning your blood in the short term,but in the long term seeing as it ruins your liver which is the organ responsible for making the clotting factors necessary for blood to clot,then yes the liver function will go down,less clotting factors will be synthesized and therefore your blood will be "thinner" and clots less readily, so a wound would take longer to stop bleeding...In short,why take the risk and drink it at all?!
No you wouldn't be in as much pain if sober. Dulls the entire nervous system including your brain cell. Each time anyone gets drunk thousands of brain cells are killed off. Hence the term "fry your brain". After awile the person becomes childlike, senile in thinking.
Please don't try this to make sure the answers you read here are right or not. It will hurt the next day for sure,and blood is messy either way.
I have heard that they gave patients alcohol before surgery before they invent anesthesia. You will see them do this in old westerns before they remove a bullet.
It doesn't work very well as a pain killer. PCP would work better.
Alcohol dilates your blood vessels so you will bleed more. They didn't know this in the old days or they wouldn't have used it before surgery.
Alcohol does numb pain, both physically and emotionally. However, I don't think you should drink so you can get into a fight, or forget your problems. You don't actually bleed more readily, your blood stays about the same. It becomes for acidic, but that doesn't mean it is thinner.
