I think jpdoctor has a valid point. The brain is highly suggestible. It's possible to trick yourself into feeling sad, happy, irritated, bored, excited, or any other state of mind. I could probably conjor up the kind of carefree, impulsive state that alchohol induces just by mindfully directing my thoughts for a few minutes.
