how much does your personality change when you have had one too many?

Question

I CHANGE COMPLETELY WHEN I HAVE HAD A FEW WINES I BECOME THIS EXTROVERTED PERSON WHO IS NOTHING LIKE WHO I REALLY AM HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE AND IF SO HOW DO YOU CHANGE DO YOU HAVE REGRETS THE NEXT DAY.WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN.

Answer 1

I know what you mean....

However...they do say that alcohol actually brings out your true personality...by breaking down inibitions and therefore allowing you to express your more extreme personal traits.......we might not like what we have done the next day but we should not ignore our actions either....as our drunken behaviour is something we can learn from...

The reason why our drunken behaviour is extreme to us....is because for most people we are not drunk that often......if we were then maybe the behaviour would be more normal!

And on a separate issue....you may like wine....but it is easy to drink and very strong....maybe a gin and tonic or two would be a lot better for you in not getting so drunk so quickly and keeping more in control?

Answer 2

My reservedness changes, so I might tell people more of what I really think, rather than being quite so polite or shy. I'll be more likely to strike up conversation with strangers.

Mostly I am just more chatty, on occasions I've been embarrassd the next day as I feel I may have told someone a little too much information about my personal life. I think essentially though I'm still me.

If you find you don't like how you get sometimes, maybe drink a little less, or, perhaps try a different type of drink. Some people find, for instance, that gin makes them depressed, or Stella Artois makes them go a bit mad.

Answer 3

I am completely like yourself. I do enjoy having a drink, but I become so much louder, more outgoing and a lot more confident than I actually am.

I do enjoy being drunk sometimes, but there are certain people who have only seen me when I am out in the pub, and portray me as a totally different person.

Answer 4

Well I become confident and full of joy most times but also I can become angry tearful and upset. It depends on my general state of mind at the time. Iv seen people behave completely out of character when drunk but have totally lost all memory the next morning, Im so glad thats not me, that would be horrid.

Answer 5

I'm really chatty and happy when I have a couple of glasses of wine but I'm quite happy anyway. I used to drink lager and that used to make me nasty so I avoid that like the plague. Different drinks affect me differently, I also can't drink cider or whisky cos they both make me quite nasty but vodka, tequila and brandy make me a happy drunk! It must be something to do with ph or something. Don't drink gin cos it makes me cry!

Answer 6

In most people it changes in direct proportion to how much you are not your real self without it.

The loosening of inhibitions releases the sub-conscious controls and defences which are holding in those aspects of your personality which you normally aren't allowing yourself to express.

Answer 7

I don't drink now, but if I had one too many, I used to become really aggressive. I'd be willing to fight Mike Tyson after a few drinks.

Answer 8

I go completely spontaneously happy, squeeling, shouting, jumping about, making everyone laugh, doing impersonations, everyone thinks I'm great craic, I did to till I found out it was Bipolar.

Answer 9

yes i`m the exact same,i become confident and chatty and talk to anybody whereas if i`m sober i`m very shy and introvert.I do sometimes wake up and think oh no!

It happens becuse alcohol gives you confidence although maybe false,i`d love to be the way i am drunk when i`m sober.

Answer 10

Stop drinking, drinking any alcholic beverages to excess will change your attitude while under its influence. This does'nt mean its permanent, it only means you can change or later in life YOU will have problems.
