Seeming more sober while drunk

[Creepy-male]

Type-related?

Introverts become more introverted, extraverts become more extraverted.

Also, in my case, the depressant effects of alcohol help me focus, even if my working memory gets shot to pieces and I stop being able to spin together coherent complex thoughts.

Type-related?

Nope

[Creepy-male]

What-related then? I've had some peeps comment to me I seem more drunk while sober and vice-versa.

[Creepy-Snaps]

Alcohol affects everyone differently.

[jessica129]

Nobody ever believes I'm drunk, even while heavily intoxicated.

Same here. I often wonder if i need to drink more but if I did, I'd probably die.

It seems like the kind of thing that's dependent on the individual. Basically what Mr. Dew said, alcohol affects different people differently.

[Timeless]

I turn into a ESE/ESFj when I'm drunk.

[Ozz]

I become more extroverted with alcohol.

It might just be non-type related.

[Creepy-male]

Too much epicurean discipline for that, brother

[1981slater]

Drinking one pint of good German barrel beer is great. Going further is becoming a useless, weak stupid: who cares about some superficial traits?

[glam]

it's pretty obvious when i'm drunk.

[Creepy-Korpsey]

When I'm drunk I enjoy clasping my arms around fat people and lifting them off the ground.

[Galen]

I can't imagine how I'd be when drunk. Probably my average level of neuroticism and emotional instability eightfold.

[Aleksei]

Type-related?

Nope

Predictable and useless.

But no, it probably isn't type related -- more related to how you hold down alcohol.

EDIT: You don't drink Galen?

I feel like I am more outgoing and spontaneous while intoxicated. Although, one friend has commented that I seem the same. I think it was my ability to have an intellectual discussion with her while intoxicated that made her think that.

[Creepy-male]

Although, one friend has commented that I seem the same.

Lol, yes. Yesterday I met a friend of some friends for the first time, and he had no idea I was COMPLETELY SWIMMING IN BOOZE at the time, commenting to the effect when he found out, lol.

[Exodus]

Definitely know someone who this happens to, according to her. SEI or maybe some other type.

Aristocrats like to show off how strong they are when drunk

Democrats like to express their feelings

[munenori2]

Alcohol tends to make me more extraverted and cheerful. I rarely if ever get depressed or down. If I'm drinking around a lot of people I don't know very well I usually try chatting up whoever seems alone or on the periphery, the weirder the conversation the better. So long as everyone's having a good time.

[Absurd]

I'm somewhat aggressive after and do/say things that I don't remember doing/saying in the morning.

EDIT: I forgot to add I am more drunk than sober during and after drinking.

That's very interesting. Where did you get that from? Or is it personal experience?

Lol, I saw a couple of drunk idiots the other day: one "charming" dude looked SEE and one "boxing" guy, LSE.

Taking into account Gulanzon's facebook posts I would say that our little Gul is indeed becoming an alcoholic, and this thread was a cry for help even though nobody responded.

... what the dicks. I've been drinking more for medicinal reasons. That's not a long-term trend. I don't believe you sincerely care or are concerned, either.

Tried actually talking to me if you are concerned rather than making condescending and passive-aggressive jabs in unrelated threads?

EDIT

Also, binging so hard every other week that my stomach bleeds != alcoholism, it = binging.

Oh, I was legitimately unaware of this. What reason?

I would say "I was joking," but I don't think that wouldn't do much. I did not mean to do any serious mud-slinging.

Also, binging so hard every other week that my stomach bleeds != alcoholism, it = binging.

Uhm, that still sounds bad to me.

Having someone who has never had a drink tell you you're drinking too much is kind of like someone whose never studied military history telling you to engage China in a land war.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

that sounds ... horrible actually ... eat some fatty foods at least before you drink - one of people I know used to drink on empty stomach, got himself ulcers that took several years to heal, you don't want to get ulcers

[Lotus]

its pretty obvious when i'm drunk. i'm too happy, i slur, and i'm actually talkative. i rarely drink though, so everyone gets super pumped when i'm drunk lol

I don't drink on an empty stomach, I just notice that I have stool not unlike black pudding after some nights of heavy drinking with friends. Apparently that means my stomach lining is swelling and blood is getting into my digestive system.

Or some veins somewhere could've ruptured and I'm slowly hemorrhaging to death, if hyperkalemia doesn't lead to a heart attack first

Anyway, sorry Galen. Concern appreciated, but there's nothing to worry about. My Facebook posts were me being miserable, not me being drunk. Hence the drinking: I've been at the breaking point of despair for the past few weeks. I got better.

ITT gul discovers drinking hardcore and wants to talk about it

[Creepy-male]

I discovered heavy drinking on my 18th birthday.

[Lotus]

happy birthday!!!

I'm more charming when slightly drunk, completely asleep after 5 drinks (small, Asian and female = cheapest drunk ever).

All the Asians I met in Japan get drunk after 1 canned cocktail, which is basically just soda with 3% alcohol.

@ Neotropic: Daaaaaaamn.
