Does "drunk" you know better than "sober" you?

whirlpool

"Drunk you".....

says everything you've always wanted to say
frees all the thoughts that you withhold while sober
experiences creativity far beyond anything "sober" you could ever imagine.

"The next-day 'sober' you".....

cringes because you've exposed yourself, beyond what you believe to be socially acceptable.



Was "drunk" you right all along?

"Guilty?" haha. No Not at all. Lets not steer the conversation off path.

However, it's a very real question of mine. It's no secret that we (human beings) have a tendency to be more open with our feelings when we're intoxicated.

Alcohol is a drug.

Its effects are wildly unpredictable because there's so many variables that can effect how it influences a person, like with all drugs.
You can't determine with any real accuracy how alcohol is going to affect one person from another.What can be true for one person could be completely the opposite for another it can bring out a lot of feelings but not necesarily all true feelings. Sometimes you can just say drunken thoughts but those arent true feelings.

If anything as Alcohol is a depressant, it would be logical that it suppresses your "true" emotions and feelings and gives you an unreal sense of confidence and lack of inhibition. Did I say good morning

I don't personally know why you're responding, the way that you are, to my post but I, personally, don't believe that your intention is as you would like it to appear. So, please, stop responding in the manner that you have been. Alcohol removes inhibitions - no matter how you, personally, at this moment in time, feel like dressing the situation up. And for the life of me, I don't understand why you feel like pretending otherwise.

What the **** you on about and less of the spelling checks.

You asked a question I answered it and gave my opinion, you don't like it, big deal.

Stupid me answering stupid posts this hour of the morning :-(

I've found that drunk me is like sober me, but more extroverted. Personally I think that's good because normally I'm incredibly introverted. I barely speak to the people I share a house with, but drunk me will dance happily

Why would you respond in this manner to someone giving their opinion on the matter?

As Realies said depending on numerous variables alcohol can affect a person in different. Sometimes yes it removes inhibitions. However, for me it very rarely makes me say anything I wouldn't say in normal circumstances and it certainly doesn't make me more creative. It makes me a little less shy so I might get up and dance.

However it can also make me depressed and generally then I plow back drink quietly and steadily until it's time to go home and eat ice cream.

My main issue with drunk "me" is that he always makes plans that sober "me" has no chance of following.

One night at Cheers, Cliff Clavin explained the "Buffalo Theory" to his buddy, Norm.
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine ! That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers." -- Cliff Clavin

This is the way I see it too. Alcohol changes your perception of things, its not you reacting how you normally would, you're reacting in a manner that is influenced by chemicals

To think the alcohol induced you is a reflection of your true personality is bizarre and dangerous. You sink a drink that changes your behaviour or mindset, you don't drink that again. That's my rule.

I like to think I am.

But what other people think, not interested.

He gave a well thought out resopnse and you give out to him. He doesn't need a reason to respond. This is a discussion board. What intention are you talking about?

'Alcohol reoves inhibitions'
He did say that

'If anything as Alcohol is a depressant, it would be logical that it suppresses your "true" emotions and feelings and gives you an unreal sense of confidence and lack of inhibition.'

See???
he agrees with you. Doesn't put it in a way that you would like but he does agree with you. You spend most of you post agrueing in his favour


Again some people can get really depressed and self conscounces when drinking. It is not fair to say that everyone is effected the same. Alcohol is a drug afterall.

No. Booze actually makes me really depressed these days and I don't mean the next day fear.

Might give it up for good

Sam Kade

The sober me doesn't like the drunk me especially during the hangover phase when the drunk me is transferring into the sober me

Why the fcuk would he say that??

no it doesn't.

Drunk me says that sober me will do all kinds of things the next day that sober me really doesn't want to do. The most extreme case being when sober me ended up in Sweden!!!

I'm scared of 'drunk me'.

Not because I'm dangerous or anything, just because when I get to THAT stage it's as if someone else takes over my body and I've got to deal with the consequences of what that person does/says. It's not a loss of inhibitions, stuff I've said/done while that drunk is completely random and can even upset people. Like others have pointed out, it's a reaction to chemicals in my system affecting my behaviour. That's it. You'd be a fool to think that's what you're REALLY like.

On the other hand, 'me after a few sensible sociables' is sound. It's still not 'the real me', though. We have inhibitions for good reasons, and each person's is a part of their overall make-up.

So, to put it simply, sorry OP but you're talking bollocks.

Novella

Drunk me made a two and a half hour phone-call from Germany to Ireland the other night, so she needs to cop the fuck on.

kylith

Drunk me gets a very tight lid on her these days, in case she says too much.

jcrowbar

Drunk me knows just as well as sober me, but just doesn't care!

Oh, god. I'm really sorry for this post. Obviously it's total nonsense. I had been drinking. Sorry, realies!

Drunk me knows absolutely nothing and is a complete idiot. However, he is an incredibly funny idiot. I love drunk me and wish I could be him all the time. he just needs to sort out his balance and his speech slurring...

I like drunk me. Except for the habit of telling people that they're wrong.

Misty Chaos

I like drunk me, he is freer than I am and more likely to just go for it ( it's something sober me is working on. ) Drunk me can be a little crazy at times but generally speaking, he is a fun guy to hang around with.

Now, shot drunk me on the other end, I had to kick him out after he puked all over the house after doing too many shots one Halloween. Shot drunk me is also an asshole, I don't like him.

Sober me doesn't like the hangovers, though.

Whatsernamex33

I like drunk me. I have wayyyy more confidence, just genuinely have that attitude that everything'll be grand in the morning, no worries at all :rolleyes: I'm such a lightweight though, I guess I hate that

HalloweenJack

Drunk me has no worries, sober me always feels like **** the day after drunk me leaves.

Sunnyisland

When I was drunk me, I was charming,funny,generous,snappy,argumentative,jealous,possessive, Now that I am sober me and three & half years later I see I haven't ****ing changed :pac::pac::pac:


















Joking

SocSocPol

Drunk me managed to get a 2 day ban from AH on Friday night for being an utter prick!
Sober me would never do that.

desertcircus

Drunk me is a number of things, but one thing that's remarkably useful is that he's pretty obedient. Sober me thinks of something that's definitely a bad idea but that drunk me would think was a great one, then tells drunk me at the start of the evening to go home the moment that bad idea starts seeming like a good idea. Drunk me obeys every time. It's actually kind of entertaining.

"Hey, you know what'd be a great idea-"
"GO HOME NOW!"
"Um, okay, never mind."
