ELI5:Why do dating/mating standards slip when under the influence of alcohol?

We've all been drunk and taken home someone you regret in the morning. I was curious to know if there is any scientific reason for lowering our standards. Also if this is the same reason for so called 'Dutch courage'.

Our inhibitions are lowered. Internally we would have always taken home that regret, we just had a bunch of reasons not to. When we're drunk, we stop caring.

By the way, remember that if a SO cheats while drunk. It's not that the alcohol made them cheat, they wanted to cheat, they probably still do, they just had a bunch of reasons not to. Alcohol made them stop caring.
