Does alcohol really make you do anything that you wouldn’t want to rationally do, or does it typically help you gain more confidence to do what you already want to do?

So, for some specific context as to why I’m asking:

I (M27) hooked up a with a girl that I met online (F33) for our first date, and although it was a bit too fast in retrospect, we established early on while texting that neither of us want to pursue a potential relationship with each other so we can just feel things out for a FWB-type of connection. So on and so forth, we were eventually sexting each other for a few weeks before even meeting (on top of making normal conversation for the most part), but when it came time to actually see other, I’m a little unsure if she really was sexually attracted to me (despite how we still had sex later), or if it was the alcohol.

We were hitting it off pretty well at this winery, and although I eventually asked her if she would like to come back with me to my hotel, she a first said no since we had just met and would like to get to know me more (understandably so; I felt pretty dumb for asking). But as we kept talking about each others’ interests and what not (while still having some wine along with it), she told me she felt attracted and wanted to know how far my hotel was. All in all, one thing led to another.

Before we left the restaurant, she had about two (or maybe a tiny bit more) glasses of white wine (which I didn’t know at the time had a BAC of about somewhere between 12 and 14%) while my share of it was a little over one. I didn’t start to feel or notice any sort of buzz until much later, and even though we were probably both legally drunk at least, she was still talking normally while seemingly acting sober-minded in general. In other words, there wasn’t any obvious drunk behavior on her end from what I saw.

We’ve still been lightly sexting/flirty since then as she also wanted to come over to my place on our second date (which she did), yet I still but can’t help but wonder if she likely was sexually attracted to me the first time (plain and simple), or if it was the wine presenting me in a better light.

I know I initially presented this question within a broader conversational framework, but in terms of my specific situation, what do you think?
