This thread is inspired by the recent Galliano debacle. Do you think you become your true self when you're drunk? We all know how some people are happy drunks, whilst others are aggressive drunks. Which one are you, and do you think that's the real you that only comes out when you've had a few too many?

Personally, I fall into the happy drunk category, you know dancing on the table, telling complete strangers I love them, kissing everyone in sight, and then collapsing in a heap in the corner where I usually just fall asleep!

It is the only time I really open up to my nearest and dearest, but I can also be a right twat, so sometimes yeah and sometimes no.

i'm usually happier when i'm drunk, and i don't get angry or aggressive, which i can do easily when i'm sober, and i'm always the one that looks after other drunk people even when i am myself. for me i think it just lets down a wall that i hide behind, so yeah i become my true self.

I don't know. I've never been an "idiot/stupid drunk", I'm usually the one controlling the stupid drunks, I just get giggly and really happy.

Yeah I think it is. I tend to suppress my deepest thoughts but it all comes out when I get drunk. They why I end up crying a lot. It's the most embarrassing thing ever

Lol, yes that's me - I get embarrassingly affectionate and maudlin to my friends and family, and over familiar with total strangers, whereas in a sober state I'm much more reserved and self conscious.

Yeah same here. The main reason why I drunk alcohol now and again is to "gain confidence" at a party or something. Which is a reason I shouldn't drink. And this is the reason why most drink I think.

I'm the same wether drunk or sober, sometimes if I've drank too much I get a little bit louder but thats it, I can't be bothered with people who get pissed and then delibrately try to cause fights n arguments.

Same here - they use the fact that they're hammered to cause all sorts of mayhem and trouble. I feel sorry for the staff in any A&E department on a Friday and Saturday night.

There you are rhino, I was wondering where you were

Yes, I'm an endless source of amusement to anyone I have a drunken night out with

I just laugh a lot when I'm drunk.

Some people have told me it depends what they're drinking. My youngest son is a happy drunk when he sticks to beer and lager, but if he starts on the spirits, especially whisky, he can get really argumentative, bordering on aggressive, so maybe it's just as much to do with individual chemical reactions as it is with your inner self?

This is very true

I get happy drunk on cider/lager/wine

Cry on most spirits

Fight on vodka or baileys :/

Ammi · 03-03-2011, 05:38 PM

I'm sure someone once told me that vodka makes you aggressive and my mum used to say gin makes you depressed

yeah, I agree with this which is why I think that being drunk doesn't really bring out your "true self" alcohol alters your mind so I think you're less real when drunk.
