TIL rabies and drunkenness have similar signs.

Maybe some of the people I've met really were sick on the head and not just drunk.

I can assure you, I was drunk. Still am.

Similar signs in some animals. Not so much for people. It does make wild animals particularly gregarious in an aggressive and violent way. But even that isn't 100% guaranteed. And the difference between drunk and rabies in people is pretty significant -- hard to misdiagnose the two.
