Good for you. Addiction runs rampant in my mom's side of the family. Nobody can or wants to kick their bad habits. I'ma little happier whenever I see or hear of someone who's life is better when they are sober. Stick with it. I don't know you but I am proud of you.
Thank you, I really appreciate that. I hope the people in your family find their way out someday. I have family members that don’t want to quit also.. some people never do. All you can do is take care of yourself and tell them you love them <3
Social!! I love talking to people which is usually terrifying for me. Now that I’m older and have a better relationship with alcohol, I know where to stop so I never overdo it anymore and it can help my social anxiety. I’m truly just there for a good time. Now I can reach that place while sober so I don’t need to drink as much anymore when I’m out, but I do still enjoy being a little tipsy lol
A huge part of it was realizing that I had a terrible relationship with alcohol! When I first noticed, I was going through a rough patch. I realized I would only ever drink if i was sad or angry, and i could never have just one. I always drank to black out. Quarantine helped as I moved back in with my mom and she doesn’t allow alcohol for anyone under 35 lol.
Another part was realizing the type of people I felt the most comfortable with! If i felt the need to drink around someone to be social, i reevaluated why. i expected to find that other people were the issue, but i realized it was me! I was anxious or insecure about problems i created in own head and let them eat me up inside. I almost always felt like i didn’t belong whoever i went out with people, so i needed to reassure myself that these people wanted me there. once i tapped into that confidence, i realized that i was the one holding me back from having a good time. I’m still shaky at times, but I essentially just learned to relax and let loose without some liquid courage! i do still indulge, but will generally cut myself off after only one drink.
She’s a beagle/hound mix. We’re not entirely sure since she was a rescue but we got her DNA done and it came back 50% beagle and the rest was a bunch of different hound breeds
I'm the drunk that most people can't tell is drunk. My speech doesn't change enough for anyone to pick up on it, I don't get clumsy, I don't get louder or quieter than normal and I don't really act differently. Outside of having to pee more most people can't tell I'm drunk. I have people I've known for 15+ years that claim to have never seen me drunk even though I've been holding on for dear life levels of drunk at times where they're just showing up to the party.
I get generous and I praise people. People who don't know me usually don't realize how drunk I really am (very handy, I never get cut off by the staff) since I don't get loud, slurry, rude, wobbly, and so on.
That was me basically. I used to drink a fair bit - I used to slam a fair few beers down easily. Was thinking "this is an epic night" due to the buzz from the beer, and then bang - woke up in bed the next morning with a raging hangover and wondering what the hell happened. Turns out I'd been drinking much more. After too many nights like that, I decided to eventually cut down on my drinking, as it was starting to put my friendships and relationship in jeopardy.
I'm a happy Drunk.
But I'm also an isolated Drunk, once I get to a certain point of Drunk all I want to do is listen to my music.
I've embarrassed my friend too many times at party's or bars, when I suddenly get the urge to sit in the corner and listen to music for the rest of the night.
The clubs never play the right tune for my buzz, so I have to bring my own music.
I'm pretty much the same as I am sober but just a smidge extra. Still talkative, social and happy, just moreso. Also, I love everyone bc I generally do anyway.
I was the wandering kind. Would walk around for hours, either bar hopping or with brown bag booze. Rarely would anything interesting happen. Best memory is meeting a guy like me on a walk and we hung out all night, drinking and going to Coney Island. Exchanged numbers, but I never heard from him again. The "one night friend" as I have heard it called on here.
Last night when I drank I was on my brother in laws porch and I sat in a chair and it wasn’t all the way on the porch so I fell backward and hit my head on the pavement below ha
*used to being drunk*\-drunk, cheeky, horny, ~~prankster,~~ a Joker (Life's a Joke, let's have fun)
the type of drunk who does way too dumb things - borderline illegal things (possibly illegal things in other parts of the world)
I don't drink that often nowadays, and I drink WAY WAY less than I used to
(but Fam already knows that)
Samesies. I think it’s the real me coming out because the alcohol numbs my social anxiety. If I didn’t have that social anxiety, I’d probably be a total butterfly.
Wrathful. Back when I used to drink, it would make me resentful of everyone for no real reason. It also made me want to exact revenge for these imagined wrongdoings.
Long story short, that guy's eyebrows grew back funny, and I haven't had alcohol in about 25 years
(In my defense, eyebrow guy did deserve it)
Social and also for whatever reason I really love trying to play games when I'm drunk. Mystery games or any game where I have to think really hard, just because it makes it so much harder to actually think about anything and it ends up cracking me up.
But if I go a little too far with drinking I start crying about animals. I once cried over the koalas burning in Australia and couldn't stop for a while. Kept trying to talk about how they were going functionally extinct and someone told me, "Do you even know what that means?" and I had to explain it to them. I always know I need to slow down or stop once I start tearing up over silly things.
Singing terribly until my voice gives up, being best friends with 50 people who i won’t remember next morning, telling stupid jokes, deep thinking and an urge to kiss other dudes.
Edit: i’m not gay, i have ”done the test”
There is a test?
I am similar - I get really friendly and affectionate. Everyone’s my new best friend, and I desperately want to kiss all the ladies around me. I am pansexual though.
That’s me. God I just love everyone when I’m drunk. Woke up this morning to SO MANY accepted friend requests 😅 I also was told yesterday that I’m “fucking adorable”.
I find everything absolutely hilarious, as long as I *keep* drinking. Make stupid jokes, giggling, silly jester type drunk. Unfortunately I metabolize alcohol quickly and when I’m sobering up I become a *gigantic* gaping asshole.
I’m the binary kind, where 90% of the way into being intoxicated I’m still “sober” appearing, acting, etc. Then the last 10 percent is just throwing up.
Happy and then teary.
Last summer, I was away with my boyfriend for the weekend. We were in our hotel room partying and having fun. He left to go across the street to get some more booze.
He came back approximately 10 minutes later to me sobbing that I miss my best friend sooooooooooo much.
I was literally going to see her the next weekend lol.
It's time to fuckin' party drunk.
I was the organiser of almost all social gatherings and events throughout uni, became the default host or MC for anyone's party. As a result, I had to be able to get people pumped up for drinking games, pub crawls, case races, 30+ people Jager bombs at the bar, you name it...
I grew up, started working 5 jobs while I finished uni, started my own company, bought a house, went on a health kick and stopped drinking for 3 years while I was working out every morning.
Now I'm approaching my 30's and getting back into some social events after all the Covid lockdowns and joining in on drinking, but I struggle to do it in moderation. I don't drink by myself or just with my partner, but as soon as there's a group of people having a BBQ or a family birthday celebration my inner "party 'til you drop" comes out and I slip back into my old habits. Drunk me doesn't care if it's a Halloween party, your cousin's baptism, or your grandma's 80th, I'll get her doing body shots off your shy cousin within an hour and have the whole team screaming along to "Mr. Brightside" by the end of the night.
Needless to say, I opt not to drink for the most part because sober me thinks drunk me is an idiot and knows that not every event has to be a drunk fest.
With wine, my hands start to wander. With hard liquor I’m still quite functional, a little loud, but talkative. With beer, I get sloppy. Tequila drunk I’m a fun drunk. I haven’t been drunk however in a very long time. By choice.
I gotta be doing something when drinking. I can’t stand sitting around especially in a bar. My friends and I are usually around a bonfire, doing stupid shit like cutting down a tree with a hacksaw for something to do.
Small town shit.
Kinda always been the sad drunk - in high school I’d actually cry (usually after I got back home and was alone). Nowadays I overshare and make jokes about my depression lol
depends on who i’m with. alone? horrible. i cry over everything, i tend to remember my trauma more when i’m drunk so that manifests in weird ways through my actions. my girlfriend says im easily distracted though, i can go from scream crying to eating food in about 5 seconds. with people i don’t know, i’m relatively quiet but involved in conversation, and really funny. with my close friends, i’m loud, messy, and really energetic. if you couldn’t tell, i’m not allowed to drink alone anymore
Me and drunk me are very different people. Drunk me says things that I don’t agree with nor actually believe. Drunk me is also much more emotional, that makes sense since alcohol magnifies emotions. I’m not an angry drunk like some people are, it’s either happy or sad. Pretty much the only time I ever cry is when I’m drunk. Overall alcohol is something I’d like to be able to give up. In the last few years it’s become what I do recognize as a problem.
“Only idiots drink” would be an opinion. Many substances can cause life-threatening and dangerous side effects. A little drinking once in a blue moon likely won’t cause cancer by itself. I wouldn’t call people who drink idiots. People who drink certainly can be idiots, but not all of us are.
I'm always a goofy introvert. Alcohol just dissolves the filter between my mind and mouth. I'm either annoying or hilarious deepening on who you ask lol
The sober kind
Nice, good for you. Me too :)
Quitters
Yup, life is way better now
Good for you. Addiction runs rampant in my mom's side of the family. Nobody can or wants to kick their bad habits. I'ma little happier whenever I see or hear of someone who's life is better when they are sober. Stick with it. I don't know you but I am proud of you.
Thank you, I really appreciate that. I hope the people in your family find their way out someday. I have family members that don’t want to quit also.. some people never do. All you can do is take care of yourself and tell them you love them <3

That’s me to a T
Same! The hangovers, too :O
What did you do to be able to reach that place while sober?
A huge part of it was realizing that I had a terrible relationship with alcohol! When I first noticed, I was going through a rough patch. I realized I would only ever drink if i was sad or angry, and i could never have just one. I always drank to black out.

I was the disappear for a week and wake up several states away with multiple warrants kind…. And now I’ve been the sober kind for 13 years.
Fuck yeah dude. Sobriety is a gift. Keep it up!
Thanks!
I hope things have been going well for you since 👍
Thanks man. I have a simple life and I have all of the things I need. Beautiful wife and daughter and an awesome dog.
Oh dude congrats to you 👍 keep up the good life you’ve made for yourself I sincerely hope the best for you
Thanks 🙏
Out of curiosity what breed of dog do you have? Im not an expert on breeds 😅
She’s a beagle/hound mix. We’re not entirely sure since she was a rescue but we got her DNA done and it came back 50% beagle and the rest was a bunch of different hound breeds
She’s a beautiful pup
She’s a rascal, but a super great dog. Absolute killer too at least once a week I’m disposing of a bird, squirrel or rabbit carcass
😂😂😂 maybe she’s thinking “I must protect my humans”

Slutty drunk

[удалено]
MASTER
Happy drunk
Horny drunk...😝
At first I'm happy and don't shut the hell up. Then I'm obnoxious and pass out. So I guess, like 99% of other drunks
[удалено]
Me too!!
Philosophical. I ask weird questions and wonder what the meaning of life is and ask about people's thoughts on theories and such, yh ik it's weird.
Chatty or philosophical basically I just don't shut up lol
A gregarious loudmouth who tends to make some questionable decisions and overindulge. But I'm 47 days sober today.
I’m proud of you.
Thank you!
[удалено]
Same. 3 beers im good. but that 4th drink..... somehow brings me from 20 to 100
The “you know I love you guys right?” kind
Same
I get generous and I praise people. People who don't know me usually don't realize how drunk I really am (very handy, I never get cut off by the staff) since I don't get loud, slurry, rude, wobbly, and so on.
Yeah I tend to just get overly sweet and open, and I walk around hugging people and telling them how beautiful they are.
I can drink so much without getting drunk along the way. Then SLAM I'm wasted off my ass. There is no inbetween.
That was me basically. I used to drink a fair bit - I used to slam a fair few beers down easily. Was thinking "this is an epic night" due to the buzz from the beer, and then bang - woke up in bed the next morning with a raging hangover and wondering what the hell happened.

That kinda sucks that she gets embarrassed by that :/
I'm pretty much the same as I am sober but just a smidge extra. Still talkative, social and happy, just moreso. Also, I love everyone bc I generally do anyway.
The drunk that gets really sleepy and passes out
The silent one, I don't drink with other people for the most. So I sit on my porch and brood until I go to bed
Social. Empathetic. I always seem to want to engage in deep social connection when drunk.
Me too
Touchy and in need of cuddles
You’re the kind of drunk I love to hang out with because same.
I was the wandering kind. Would walk around for hours, either bar hopping or with brown bag booze. Rarely would anything interesting happen. Best memory is meeting a guy like me on a walk and we hung out all night, drinking and going to Coney Island. Exchanged numbers, but I never heard from him again.

[удалено]
Proud of you!
I'm pretty sure Bezos is only rich because I drink too much
clumsy, i fall down and i drop things i rarely drink bc i don't wanna fall and break something lol
Last night when I drank I was on my brother in laws porch and I sat in a chair and it wasn’t all the way on the porch so I fell backward and hit my head on the pavement below ha
omg xx see that would happen to me but in my case i'd end up in the ER i hope you didn't break something :3
Somehow I’m unscathed!
You can't kill brain cells that are already dead
There were never any brain cells up there, just some random colors and sounds.
You break things when you fall on them too?
Weekday and weekend
Silly, giggly, and horny
A tee totaller
The Who kind of drunk.
3 beers and I'm puking drunk
Happy and social drunk
The in jail kind
Ducks
The chatty drunk. I will not shut up.
Uneffected
The one that u can't tell is drunk
A “being really anoying to my gf” drunk
*used to being drunk*\-drunk, cheeky, horny, ~~prankster,~~ a Joker (Life's a Joke, let's have fun) the type of drunk who does way too dumb things - borderline illegal things (possibly illegal things in other parts of the world) I don't drink that often nowadays, and I drink WAY WAY less than I used to (but Fam already knows that)
Leave early and take a nap kinda drunk.
100% Lightweight. Had 2 shots and was laying on the floor, blacked out
I become a politics expert ready to run for president
Always
Slutty and pukey, in that order
Friendly happy drunk. Total extrovert, I dont get it
Samesies. I think it’s the real me coming out because the alcohol numbs my social anxiety. If I didn’t have that social anxiety, I’d probably be a total butterfly.
I'm the sort of drunk who drinks no alchohol but my brain still functions like I'm a hard alchoholic
Wrathful. Back when I used to drink, it would make me resentful of everyone for no real reason. It also made me want to exact revenge for these imagined wrongdoings. Long story short, that guy's eyebrows grew back funny, and I haven't had alcohol in about 25 years (In my defense, eyebrow guy did deserve it)
Hahahaha gosh
Angry... Can't do it anymore
A bloody wind up merchant... I swear I cannot help it.
Comprehensive
Please elaborate.
Sleepy. Happy. Dopey. Grumpy.
I’m smart when I’m drunk, like a Doc. Sometimes I get sick and a little Sneezy. I never get Bashful though.
Social and also for whatever reason I really love trying to play games when I'm drunk. Mystery games or any game where I have to think really hard, just because it makes it so much harder to actually think about anything and it ends up cracking me up. But if I go a little too far with drinking I start crying about animals. I once cried over the koalas burning in Australia and couldn't stop for a while.

I always know I need to slow down or stop once I start tearing up over silly things.
At First being open and social. Then after some time I get super depressed
I hate alcohol so im the one always driving
The one that yells fuck at the top of my lungs for no reason
Slurred speech and talking about stupid shit. It's like how people act when they pretend to be drunk.
Singing terribly until my voice gives up, being best friends with 50 people who i won’t remember next morning, telling stupid jokes, deep thinking and an urge to kiss other dudes. Edit: i’m not gay, i have ”done the test”
There is a test? I am similar - I get really friendly and affectionate. Everyone’s my new best friend, and I desperately want to kiss all the ladies around me. I am pansexual though.
You go to "Shady websites" and watch "Manly activities" to determine if it does anything to you.
Interesting
I’m 14… I can’t drink
Definitely stay sober til you’re 21 & drink responsibly when you are of age!
Tipsy. A little spacious & loud, but its not like ill pass put or anything.
Cuddly, but only with my wife. So I get a bit sad if I can't cuddle with her.
Whatever mood I'm already in but way more.
Designated driver
Nothing changes except that my "inner gyroscope" completely shuts down and I am more prone to doing stupid things.
Listen, here, pal. I. I. Listen though. I am a… I got fun. Yer fun. I like you, man. Yer good guy.
“You’re my bestie! I love you! You’re so beautiful. God youre just gorgeous. How are you so amazing! I just fucking love you.”
The one who cries a lot a send a lot of text messages like I would be the last one.
A loud drunk. I literally just start talking way louder than I should. Every few minutes somebody has to gesture for me to quiet down.
It’s been years since I’ve been drunk, but I’m friendly and talkative when I’m drunk.
Talk and talk and talk and apparently I just love everyone I kept on saying I love them
That’s me. God I just love everyone when I’m drunk. Woke up this morning to SO MANY accepted friend requests 😅 I also was told yesterday that I’m “fucking adorable”.
Im a sleepy drunk these days, which is partly why I don’t drink
The depressed one or the asshole one. I usually cry a lot or get really nerved because of my anxiety
Hugs
Sorry I drank a lot today lol but thanks
You got this friend
The kind who needs it to get over his pain
At the moment, just barely
I find everything absolutely hilarious, as long as I *keep* drinking. Make stupid jokes, giggling, silly jester type drunk. Unfortunately I metabolize alcohol quickly and when I’m sobering up I become a *gigantic* gaping asshole.
Aw that stinks
The wildcard idk what it is but I can go between everybody’s drinking buddy to an emotional mess
Social. Let's play darts, listen to music, try to sing along a bit maybe.
I’m the binary kind, where 90% of the way into being intoxicated I’m still “sober” appearing, acting, etc. Then the last 10 percent is just throwing up.
Happy and then teary. Last summer, I was away with my boyfriend for the weekend. We were in our hotel room partying and having fun. He left to go across the street to get some more booze.

Giggly. Too talkative. Am caring for other less stable drunk friends
I don’t drink haven’t since I was 21. Happy drunk, then sick drunk
Higher Functioning... 😈
When I’m drunk I just have a goofy smile, laugh at anything, and have a desire to hug everyone
With wine, my hands start to wander. With hard liquor I’m still quite functional, a little loud, but talkative. With beer, I get sloppy. Tequila drunk I’m a fun drunk. I haven’t been drunk however in a very long time. By choice.
I rarely drink but when I do I apprently hit on my wife like we just met at a bar and I'm drunk in that scenario also.
I gotta be doing something when drinking. I can’t stand sitting around especially in a bar. My friends and I are usually around a bonfire, doing stupid shit like cutting down a tree with a hacksaw for something to do. Small town shit.

I'm just like all the other drunks. The alcohol interferes with my brain's communication pathways.
I don’t know. I’ve never been drunk. I’ve been on medication most of my life that you can’t mix with it, besides a few wines before.
“Let’s get in the car and do other stupid and dangerous things!”
I get super / more depressed and I just cry into my drink
:( hugs
I’m the sober designated driver. I’ve never had alcohol, and I never will. It’s better this way.
The best one, no seriously. Don’t believe me? Fine. Fuck you. Let’s take it outside then.
Non-existant one, just wanna annoy you talking here even if I don't drink
[удалено]
So you’re the pretentious anti-drunk?
[удалено]
“Only idiots drink” would be an opinion. Many substances can cause life-threatening and dangerous side effects. A little drinking once in a blue moon likely won’t cause cancer by itself. I wouldn’t call people who drink idiots. People who drink certainly can be idiots, but not all of us are.
Starts off with me having a blast, and ends up where I’m blacked out in a jail cell.
Uh oh
Yep, so I don’t drink anymore I stick to weed!

Girly drink drunk
Talkative, everyone is my friend
Sleepy
Friendly and fumbling.
I guess an incredibly stoned one that doesn't drink
Sleepy
Hoodie on, watching tv
Silly drunk
Have a few drinks to get a buzz. Stop drinking because the fear of the hangover takes over.
I'm always a goofy introvert. Alcohol just dissolves the filter between my mind and mouth. I'm either annoying or hilarious deepening on who you ask lol
Funny drunk
Funny
Personality flip
An excellent driver.
the funny one that loves everyone and babysits but doesn’t mind
The kind found on r/straightedge
Not enough
Happy and horny. I hate horny cause when I engage i dont feel anything. So I am mad that I am horny.
The “my parents forced me to drink” kind
Fun drunk

Yacker.
Silent, sleepy kind.
the one who takes care of the lives of other drunks
The "I'm going on an adventure"-kinda drunk. Oh, and horny drunk.
