It is indeed a coping mechanism to protect us from a dangerous environment or trigger. With DID, it doesn't feel as much as "being drunk" but rather as watching your body acting "unconciously." For example, think of your heart rate: you don't control it, yet you can observe it. Same when an alter takes control, you just observe what he/she does, while being completely unable to control it. Then you feel like you start to fade and nothing feels real anymore, and eventually the alter in control gains full consciousness.
That's how it feels for us, but remember every system/person is different.
Regards,
Margaret
