I wonder if I should try that sometime? A bit of booze might be just the thing I need to stop myself from relying so heavily on striking. When striking isn't an option because I'm too wasted to use it I might start picking up some grappler's instincts.

Like Glutton said, I don't think it's stupid in EVERY situation, I think it's stupid in most situations. Unless you know how to work in the guard, really quickly and well, like your transitions are seamless, I wouldn't do it. My whole game is on my back, and me working on getting to the top, and I still wouldn't do it. But I also don't pull guard.
If you're in a one on one fight, clinch, and look for immediate takedowns/sweeps and secure top mount. If you're in a multi opponent fight, run, you won't probably won't win. That's why it's always silly to me when people say BJJ doesn't work in multiple opponent encounters...well most styles don't. Is it possible to fight 2 opponents? Yes. 3? Thats pretty much the limit. After that any martial artist well worth his weight will be overwhelmed.

As a note, even against 2 people your chances of winning even if you're better than both opponents go down a LOT! Real life isn't a movie. Even the toughest martial artists around would likely get dominated against multiple opponents a lot of the time.

Does BJJ teach much of top mount? Or is that more wrestling?

I've learned a few rising shoulder locks in case the guy under you starts punching upwards, some nice kimura variants, a head crank and of course the downwards pounding but for the most part sitting on top of somebody's stomach seems to be a better place for setting up on people or wearing them down rather than actually finishing the job.

No martial art will ever give you every single skill to defend yourself from any possible situation. That's why you either cross train or adapt your fight plan to where your strengths are.
Some guy rushed at my friend while he was at a bar. He got the guy into a guillotine, went down on the floor, and locked his ankles. The guy was out relatively quick according to him.
