Are you more or less "yourself" when you're drunk?
 

OK, my friend and I have been having this debate and I wanted to get other people's thoughts :glugglug

I think being drunk just gives you the courage to say and do what you really want to do. It takes the "overthinking" out of you, and you go with your true, gut instincts. I am rarely ashamed of my drunken actions, because I know it's just me + courage

My friend says that overthinking is part of who he is, and if that aspect is taken away from him when he's drunk, he is then not as much himself as when he is sober.

:drinkup

Intensifies the personality.

yes.

or rather... "amplifies" :glugglug

When I am drunk I get happier and just wanna have a good time.
I hate people who have to start trouble, and pick fights....

Assholes like that shouldn't be allowed to drink!!

When I am pissed I am jus the same person and never cause any kind of trouble, I talk a bit more but hey so does all my mates so thats ok

If done sensibly then its great!!!!
Alcohol rules!!!

for some people like pete "the fly"
it makes them think more.

Like waaaaaaaaaaay more.

Strange but true.

The more I drink, the happier I get....don`t thing that I have EVER been mad/angry/provocative while drunk...

:thumbsup

I agree with your friend. Who you are right now, is who you are right now. When you're drinking, you aren't the same you. But maybe somebody that you would like to be?

Yes - just a little sillier

mmm i need a beer

Right, maybe someone you would like to be. But my friend was using this logic as a reason that drinking is bad and he should stop doing it. He thinks it is him, only more diabolical :feels-hot

I think it depends on the situation and the reason for drinking...
if you're drinking casually with friends or in celebration of something or cuz it's the weekend or something.... your mood will be good. If you're drinking because your wife just left you.... you're probably not gonna be a happy drunk person.

I believe that drinking brings out your true feelings. Problems is that some of those feelings become UNtrue after I'm sober again! Fuck, I'm gonna get wasted tonight.

Hey dude your fucking this up for us guys. When we get drunk that does not reflect our wishes nor reflect our intentions. Being drunk makes all actions excusable for men.

Its like when your drunk and about to go pee then some girl falls on your pecker cuz she is also drunk thats not really the guy wanting that girl on him he is DRUNK and perfectly okay:thumbsup

I get happier and sillier but I also get more emotional. Usually this just leads to more happiness/silliness. Once upon a time when I would drink to try and relax or forget I'd tend to end up depressed or pissed off. I was always alone though so I just went to sleep and the next day tried to forget about it. So nice to be in a place in my life where I don't drink unless I'm in a good mood, and then never as much now as I used to.

I'm less shy, and more outgonig when drunk - say what I actually say / feel (without being an asshole).

why drink when you can do GHB instead? LOL

better yet, do both! but never more than one 4 ml hit per four beers or you'll probably go unconscious.

speaking of, i need to make a trip to my refrigerator... brb

i tend to get really horny at first, then i think things are funny, then i get angry about something and cry.. at least when i'm with my bf. or else i just fall asleep. usually i don't drink when i'm already really tired because i just fall asleep and essentially waste the liquor.

Women... :tongue:

If alcohol amplifies your personality then stay away from Clay Andrews (epoch). Almost came to blows with him twice in florida after he had been drinking all nite. The second nite it started when he bumped into me (from behind) and then started yelling that I had hit him. When I turned around and realized it was the same jackass from the nite before I decided that I would never send that idiot any business.

He had the nerve to ask me on the 3rd nite why i wasnt processing with him yet.

tsss....

alcohol just makes me tired, i use it as a sleep aid most of the time.

For me:

Beer = tired;

Hard Liqour eq shizophrenia;

Weed eq paranoid || weed = happy;

TheRest eq "kenny dont fuck with them no more";

print "Just say no\n\n";

I like to think I am Ernest Hemingway when I'm drunk

When I'm drunk I think I'm irresistable to women, good looking, funny and witty, always right and an incredible photographer.

Also get a bit arrogant, which is to be expected with all these qualities.

Just a minute I'm not all of the above?

Give me a beer someone, reality is starting to creep in.:1orglaugh

If I wasn't drunk -- would I do this? LOL

Beer drinking makes you touch stuff you probably aren't supposed to... or not?

Drinking beer helps webmasters focus their attention...

Yeah dude.... Im drinking Old E tonight. Just got back fromt the store with my second 40 for the night.

I prefer a better tasting beer... but when your in a down mood... aint nothing like drinking from a 40oz bottle.

I was sitting outside in the cold, letting my dogs run around on the lawn. It was a nice feeling. Just sippin my 40 coverd in a brown paper bag.

Yeah you got to have the brown bag... in Brooklyn they give you a brown bag no matter what you order. Even if it's orange juice or milk -- you gotta have the bag hehe...

damn i'm out of beer -- i'm getting offline.

Anyway here's today's vocab word... something to think about while you drink your cheap beer.
