Are you a better or worse person when you're drunk?

AskMyChocolate

Was tippin' home last night, when I came across a couple of lads who had obviously been playing petrol bingo. They had run out of juice about a hundred yards from home.One was half-in half-out of the car, trying to steer while the other lad was pushing.

I downed tools (6 cans:pac:) and gave them a hand pushing the car home.

I woke up this morning and it got me wondering. Had I not have had a couple of ales on board, would I have bothered stopping to lend a hand?

I'd like to think I would have, but honestly, I couldn't be sure.

So AHers, as the thread title asks, are you a better or worse person when you're drunk?

Where To

Depends.

Snowie

never ever help a distressed woman and a car stand there and record it

DitzyPoo92

I get very generous when I'm drunk and start buying people drinks, giving away my cigs like they were sweets and compliment everyone on anything.

I'm lovely and a great conservationist when drunk.

You downed 6 cans, as in necked them one after another?

Just as well you were coming from Tesco with the weeks shopping, imagine the dump you'd have to be taking around now.

I'm not very pleasant company, worse when I'm drunk

Babybuff

no, not really. One or two is enough after that it's car crash time. Not so bad if I have a smoke though I prefer mellow to loud and noisy which is how I get when I'm drunk.

Temptamperu

nah, i am much nicer sober.

MadYaker

Depends on how drunk I am. But tbh if they asked me for help and I was hammered I would probably lean against the car, get sick, fall over and pass out on the ground.

i'm better up to a point, then things go downhill. . .we don't go to that point anymore

wivy

Will always help those in need when I'm drunk doesn't matter who they are.
Guilty of looking for a bit of divilment when I'm drunk though!

Cant remember

Ya see the shy people can put on a big ol smile and say Oh hai! much easier with drink on but its the ones who can already do that no bother (erm I mean slightly arrogant) while sober that have to up their game to douchebag when drunk.

Everyone goes up one level, if someones a minor bitch sober yeah major bitch drunk because they don't care what others think as much.

So drink only makes you a better or worse person depending on whats already in there, drink just brings it out.

iv a split personality with drink. I can either be aggressive and rowdy or just the complete opposite where im friendly and talkative, basically just wear the owl heart on the sleave with drink.

i dont drink much mainly due to this, once every month or two would do me.:D

3rdDegree

I'm very good looking when I'm drunk.

Likewise. It depends on my mood. If I'm in good form, I'll yap to anyone and have great craic. I get horny as fook too! :pac: But if I'm in bad form, I'd pick up the nearest stool and smash it over someone I didn't like. Hence the reason I don't go out any more. From time to time I'll have a few cans in front of the TV with herself instead now.

I'm just more annoying but I get on really well with strangers who are also drunk.

Da Shins Kelly

Depends how much I've drank. If I'm a bit tipsy or on my way to being properly drunk, I think I'm pretty good company. Once I get to sh*tfaced, I become a complete dickhead.

newbee22

A better person! I start telling everyone how great they are and start hugging everyone I see( don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing for the people I'm hugging though!:o)

Snowie

I leave a trail of distruction when I'm drunk texts emails messages

can be kinda embarrassing but hey

DEFTLEFTHAND

Much more talkative and friendly, it opens me up a lot. I'm naturally a bit introverted.

Owen_S

I'm probably a better person when drunk, I don't really remember tbh. From my own experiences of being drunk, I find it hard to see how people are violent/aggressive after a few drinks.

My friends have told me to that I always "try to save the world" when I'm drunk. I'm a pretty nice drunk. I laugh even more than usual which is always good and I talk alot to strangers which is mostly good

no change

I'm George Clooney and I love you all.

Frank Black

My boss doesn't drink. I asked him why one time, and he said he didn't like the person he would become.

I'd hate to be like that.

I'm probably a nicer person when drunk, someone who believes that most of the problems in the world can be solved by 'taking it to the hug'.

Peetrik

Yeah, sober me doesn't really drink a lot, is quiet enough and is, on principle, against drugs

Drunk me is the opposite of that.

There's a 17% chance with a variance +/- of 2%, of me being either better or worse, so statistically, it's pretty much a push.

It was actually intended, which is unusual for me, as typos from the spell check are second nature to me.

Choco's brother to drunk Choco: " Ah Jaysus Choco, would you ever stop trying to cover the world in leather and just put on a pair of shoes?":pac::o

danslevent

When drunk I'm much more affectionate, it can be quite embarrassing sometimes! People I would have always thought were only okay suddenly turn into my best friend. It's so awkward seeing them sober after and just giving the polite greeting when passing in the street. Drunkenness creates a completely alternative reality :P

Because you're a worse person drunk, alcohol is for losers? Ok.

Personally I dont think there are any "better" people when they're drunk. I think that you're more sensitive to the vibes around you and ultimately that decides whether you are Jekyll or Hyde for the night.

KKkitty

Worse. During my heavy drinking days I was a fool. All over lads like a rash, didn't care about anyone but myself.

Shanotheslayer

I'd be a talkative person sober, but when drunk I'm very friendly, but I find if I get pissed off I think I'm Rocky. I don't reach that stage anymore

cartell_best

a drunk man speaks a sober mans mind...like now....I think ye'r a sound out bunch...(no messing)

MrShine

When I used to get proper sh*tfaced I'd send drunken texts to people, often ex gfs, and then delete them afterwards, just to f*ck with my sober self. I'd also get grumpy towards the end of nights out, and not want to talk to anyone.

I don't drink nearly as much now, and I'm deffo a nicer person. As I get drunker I just get jollier.

Winston Payne

Depends. Normally I'm friendlier and more exuberant but there's been one or two frazzles lately. I don't like that.

IrishEyes19

Emotional if I was worried or upset before going out. Hence why I don't drink wine at all. Absolute tear fest. Just never agreed with me. And that was one glass.

Drinking otherwise - Just happy, and really wanting to dance. Used to drive my friends crazy as if we went clubbing or a late bar, Id want to dance all night whereas when Im sober I dont like being the centre of attention at all.
