Insanity

Some passages from More About Alcoholism:
"I ordered a whiskey and poured it into the milk.  I vaguely sensed I was not being any too smart."
"Parallel with our sound reasoning there inevitably ran some insanely trivial excuse for taking the first drink."
"Our justification for a spree was insanely insufficient in the light of what always happened."

Insane:  Exhibiting a severely disordered state of mind; mentally deranged; very stupid, crazy or dangerous.

Are you picking up on a theme here?  Crazy behavior.  I vaguely sensed I was being none too smart when I got into my car to drive home from the bar where I had twelve beers.  That kind of thing.
