Ok so I'm 32 years old and completely completely an awesome person when I go out and start drinking.. The problem is when I'm not drinking I'm reserved and don't talk much.. I didn't use to be like this, does it make me a drunk?

I kid you not my self confidence is amazing and I always get what I want or at least try when drunk.. Sober I just let life pass me by and I'm cranky.. Does anyone have some tips for me about letting my drunk side out when I'm sober? I also suffer from massive anioxidy..

Tension. Just relax, you're with your buddies, right? Smile and they will start a conversation and you continue it. Having a beer or two is okay too. Why not

A lot of people are like that, me included. I think Skittles is too. Nothing to worry about.

You mean "Anxiety"? As in Panic Attacks?

OK - are you a drunk - do you drink at work? Do you start drinking before 3PM And are you proud of it? If so, you are a drunk. If you DO drink at work and at all hours of the day becuase you cannot function without it - you are an Alcoholic which is teh bad (highly simplified).

As for your personality change - that's what booze does - it's Personality Lubricant.

I met a gypsy last week at 7AM in the morning, sat outside a pub with 4 cans of special brew. Said he spent the night there drinking and spent £1000 on beer for people and Cannabis. He said he's been missing from Manchester for 6 weeks, and his girlfriend is a bitch which is why he left...

He said he has 10k to blow on drink too.

You're not an alcoholic.

you know you're a drunkard when:

You’ve invented a Sesame Street drinking game so you can spend more time with your kids.

Future generations will call you an urban legend.

You’re quite good looking when you’re plastered, and you have the mug shots to prove it.

You can’t say the word sober without making air quotes.

You fell into a whiskey vat and bravely fought off your rescuers for three hours.
(modern drunkard magazine)

back to reality, you sound very normal. alcohol makes everyone different than when they are sober. next time when ya go out, cut your drinking down a bit and see if you can have the same amount of fun

Yeah but I really like drunk me.. Drunk me gets the girls interested where sober me loses them.. Drunk me is always having fun, sober me watches TV. Drunk me if really really funny, sober me hates everyone..

Should I just become a drunk?

Nope. Loads of people are like that, I'm alot like that. Although, I'm not that lame when I'm sober.......ok, I am pretty boring when sober/clean. It depends on who you're with and what state they're also in tbh.

That reminds me, what was in that brown bag I saw you clinging too whilst sprawled over a park bench the other day?

Do you go to meetings?

Yes = No, you're not a drunk...you're an alcoholic.

No = You're a drunk.

On a serious note...

Alcohol lowers inhibitions. Those inhibitions are what make you the way you are when you're not drinking.

It's similar to girls who get drunk and show their boobs: they don't normally do that when not drinking.

Actually I wouldn't say I'm a person that'd too different when drunk and sober. Some people go crazy when they're drunk, some (most people here) go violent when drunk, some go depressed. I just fall into the regular category, and so do you. Just end up becoming more happy/relaxed/confident/talkative and also say the truth more often. I could say that when I get drunk (ok, firstly, I never really get drunk, if I was to describe drunk, it would be barely being able to function, I'm never like that, mostly always buzzing/tipsy/hanging over the edge) but yeah, I could say when I'm drunk, I'm more like the real me

Try some of the shit that you do when you're drunk when you're sober. You'll realize that people will react the same way and eventually acting like that will become natural even though at first it will feel like you're "acting." You only think that what you're thinking about doing/saying while sober is a little "extra" when it really isn't. IF that doesn't go well for you then just drink away your sorrow. Ha-ha.

Well my main point is that I used to be the same way drunk or sober.. Now it only seems like I"m Happy Go Lucky when I'm drunk, even if every thing is going my way...
