Under any other circumstances, you'd have the common sense to know that what you're doing is a bad idea, or you have your inhibitions keeping you from doing it - it's like girls on halloween. They know that dressing up as a slutty nun is a terrible idea, but it's halloween.
I got drunk on Friday and I forgot all about my troubles, was scheming on girls, and was loud and carefree. Right now I'm sober, bitter, self conscious and quiet. I don't know which is the real Tony.
I have moderate social anxiety which means I can't stand being near people, however after a few drinks, while I am still quite introverted, I am much more comfortable and much more carefree. Yea if we could be that way sober.
This is funny - I'm a total extrovert, social butterfly, douchebag, what have you... I'm a pretty reserved but affectionate drunk, unless I'm at a total rager in which case I act accordingly.
It honestly depends on the situation for me. When I'm amongst close friends its kinda like being a little tipsy, I lose my inhibitions substantially and can make people laugh to tears.. whereas if I'm not really comfortable with the people I'm around I'm quite withdrawn and shy.. and boring. Alcohol helps, but obviously not in every situation.. otherwise I really have to force myself to just not care what others think.
Sober: Quiet, reserved, observant, self conscious a fair bit.
High: Creative, more outgoing, less self conscious, interest in guitar at it's prime, "THERE IS NO SPOON.."
Drunk: Very outgoing, talkative, life of the party, kind of stupid but could care less
Hangover: NEED.. WATER..
