I'm a dam functioning drunk by night and a total social reject by day.
I'm probably one of the most self conscious guys you'll ever meet, still I've never been drunk (or even a little tipsy) even though it might greatly benefit my social behavior. I've seen people drunk and I really don't think it's something I'd like to look like of behave like. I can understand that drunk people may feel more confident and loose when drunk but to sober people they just look stupid.
A few years ago, I had some kind of drinking problem, I was a sarcastic introverted
bastard when I was sober and a sarcastic extroverted bastard when I was drunk
All in all I wasn't that outgoing most of the time and liked to piss off people when I was drunk.
Nowadays I don't drink anymore, had like 1 beer in the last 3 months or so.
But I am way more outgoing now, more self confident and just don't care about me as much
as I did.
I know what you mean dude. I've not been drunk yet, close but not the full "whoooooah" *chuck* type drunk. I'm too much of a control freak to let myself go that much, and I hate throwing up.
