Does drinking reveal the real you or change you?
 

Having a drunken convo with Niamh, we were on about if drinking totally changes you.
With me, yeah sometimes I'll say my true feelings. But sometimes I think WTF and when people tell me what I did or said on nights out I think, is that me?

It makes me talk about my deepest feeling :sad:

Ive never been truely drunk to know, Ive gotten tipsy a fair bit which loosens me up but thats all I know for now :p

I just laugh at everything, which is really awkward when something bad happens

I can do that sober sometimes, even if you dont wanna laugh :L

I don't think I liked being drunk, I hate not being in control.

Im not sure. Its cant be the real you, since different types of alcohol make you act differently :/

I laugh at everything when im tipsy, and i fall down alot but when im proper drunk I like sit in the corner and sob pmsl

:evilgrin:

:laugh2:

You fall down a lot when your sober though :joker:

I'm actually the complete opposite of myself when I'm drunk, it's kindof weird.

It knocks down barriers but it depends what barriers you have up. Plus it depends how much you have. A little relaxes you.

Ive answered this question before here. Like I said, the defences and barriers you have up are part of the real you. Its what you've chosen to protect about yourself as a form of defence. So taking them down is not necessarily the real you.

I don't drink much. But usually when I do.. I am more confident with people. And will talk to people I don't usually talk to! lol

I prefer just having a laugh and being tipsy. Rather than being a drunk skunk!!

i get really depressed when drunk :sad:

This. I don't think I have been drunk in at least a year or something.

I havn't drank alcohol since last February where I was just tipsy.

But yeah.. it's a control thing too. I like to be in control of my own life. But sometimes it's nice not to be too uptight and loosen up! But lots of things can loosen you up besides "alcohol".

If I want a drink... I will have a drink. Not if people tell me I should have one..

I'm just a more exaggerated version of myself, though I say a lot of things I would never say while sober(though that's probably true for most people).

Oh god I have "nervous" laughs all the time! Not good. lol

-holds-

Yeah thats the kind :p



Im a bit weary of getting drunk just in case I blurt out everything, rofl

I think it reveals the real you but then if you drink enough can also change you.

The thing is yourself is also what you withhold within yourself and don't say out loud so if alcohol makes you say things you wouldn't when your sober surely that is changing you?

I say everything I think when I'm drunk.

-smiles smugly at smithy-

Surely the 'real' you is you without any stimulants (and all that blah)

I do become more confident after a drink. That said, I always slow down once I get the feeling that I'm out of control as I hate that

Maybe it just reveals a dark side people wish they didn't have

After a fair amount of alcohol I just go sleepy, but I never drink to excess, I like to know what I'm doing and saying.
