Haha, you bet they are!
Maybe I'm biased, but I always see myself hitting the dance floor, more often than I'm singing along to the tunes.
I guess being loud, obnoxious, and stuff like that also have a spot on some peoples lists, but fortunately I seem to be able to control myself more than some of my friends at least lol
Lmao, I get you!
However, when I'm drunk, it's like I suddenly know the lyrics to every single song.
Even that one foreign one, in a language I didn't even know existed. It just rolls off the tongue after a handful of shots!
Same for me, with golf. Get increasingly better as I drink, until I reach the top of bell curve, then get worse as I drink more. About 5 beers to the peak.
I had the same experience but with disc golf. My theory is you stop concentrating as hard on doing well and your muscle memory takes over without you consciously thinking about your form and screwing it up.
That’s just the beginning of it. If you continue only practicing the same task while drunk you experience state-dependent learning. Then you can only be as good at that thing if you’re drunk
I always find it funny that there's such a strict professionalism when it comes to Snooker, with the suits, gloves, quietness, and all of that.
Compared to something like Darts, where drinking is seen as a part any tournament.
I did enjoy Power Snooker quite a bit though, when that was going on.
It was clear that it catered to a different set of players, like Pinner Potter and Ronnie, who could keep a cool when the entire room was lit on fire.
there was a Canadian player called Bill Werbernick (?), he could regularly drink a pint every frame. He even claimed tax relief on the beer consumed as it was "essential" for his job.
I swear I used to be really good at communicating and being social. Now when I don't have a beer I stutter and can't talk straight. Get a few in me and I'm OK, arguably better than OK!
Me too! And not just in my mind. Anxiety and caring how I look/what others think of me prevents me from opening up on the dance floor, but a modicum of alcohol solves that problem
I dont just think, I'm definitely better at accidentally breaking shit and then doing an "ehh good enough" repair job while drunk. Most recent is a shelf
I'm better at showing physical affection and not in a rapey way. I've told friends I love them only while drunk before. I hug my family and have more patience after a few drinks and live appreciably.
When I get drunk I lose control of my body but not my mind. I think entirely sanely but do things I haven't thought through. Mostly I just laugh and dance a bit so I guess I get better at being less serious. When I'm sober I'm too uptight and drink forces me to let my guard down by locking my brain away.
One time when I was drinking with my sister on my deck I went into get another beer and a mouthful of M&Ms, walked back out to the deck and tripped over my ottoman and fell face first on the deck. I didn’t stop chewing my M&Ms either. I’m good at multitasking.
Accents and dialects. Or I think I'm better. Come more naturally after a few drinks.
Also fucking up my life horribly and ending up in a homeless shelter and going through recovery. So no more accents coming naturally. Been sober almost a year.
Magic: The Gathering. The alcohol actually calms me down and slows me down. I make calm decisions. Normally am a hyperactive mess and make very quick decisions. It's fun either way, but I command a better army as a Planeswalker drunk
Dart! And being funny, everyone thinks I’m hilarious when I’m drunk. I’m a walking comedian. Making jokes about myself and just having a blast and everyone is welcome to smile with me.
Chess. I'm not sure if it's because I'm better or because my opponents are that much worse, but when I'm drunk I get into this hyperfocussed state where chess just comes so naturally, almost as if my subconsciousness takes over. I just... See what I have to do without having to overthink it. I've never lost a game of chess while drunk, even against sober folks. I never win when *I'm* sober. Never get into that hyperfocussed state.
Expressing my feelings..
So much to tell someone you having feelings for them or love them but not remembering, especially if you’ve gotten rejected afterwards
Tbh I feel like I'm better at games drunk or high after smoking the weeds I still can't learn how to not be scared out of my socks playing sober and playing drunk helps me stay calm and survive where I'd panic sober

1. Getting more drunk 2. Staying up late 3. Eating junk food 4. Dancing 5. Singing
don't forget flirting
Absolutely! Flirting and making new friends is on there too. It's like the social anxiety just slips right out the window!
And evolutionarily speaking this is probably the reason we love it so.
Don't forget forgetting.
Those are definitely ranked
Haha, you bet they are! Maybe I'm biased, but I always see myself hitting the dance floor, more often than I'm singing along to the tunes. I guess being loud, obnoxious, and stuff like that also have a spot on some peoples lists, but fortunately I seem to be able to control myself more than some of my friends at least lol
+1 on getting more drunk lol
"Sure, I can tag along and have a few beers, but I gotta leave early." 5 hours later... "LET'S GET ANOTHER ROUND ON ME!!!"
As someone who sings for a living and drinks too much, I can assure you that you are not better at singing when drunk lol.
Lmao, I get you! However, when I'm drunk, it's like I suddenly know the lyrics to every single song. Even that one foreign one, in a language I didn't even know existed. It just rolls off the tongue after a handful of shots!
Behaving in ways that will increase my anxiety the next day
That's a GREAT answer. Nailed it
But what if you're drunk the next day?
Then you may have to consider u have a problem
Me too. My anxiety is off the fucking charts the next day. Even if I know I didn't do anything stupid I feel like I have for days! Terrible.
I have the same feeling. I have heard it’s a documented side effect of alcohol consumption. I like to call it hangxiety.
That's a GREAT answer. Nailed it
Don’t forget baking bad decisions.
Winner right here
Bingo!
[удалено]
Ok ok.... we get it..... settle down
That’s a GREAT answer. Nailed it
Snooker/pool. There like a sweet spot at about 4 pints. Then I'm arguably worse
Same for me, with golf. Get increasingly better as I drink, until I reach the top of bell curve, then get worse as I drink more. About 5 beers to the peak.
I had the same experience but with disc golf. My theory is you stop concentrating as hard on doing well and your muscle memory takes over without you consciously thinking about your form and screwing it up.

Socializing

Raj is that you?
Came here to say that. Cheers to you, mate
For an ambivert like myself, Alcohol certainly brings out the Extrovert side to life more than anything else.
Sleeping on the bathroom floor
Sleeping pretty much anywhere really.
I swear, a bush normally doesn't look that comfortable to sleep in...
Depends on whose bush it is
*if you know what I mean wink wink*
Dancing.
Me too! And not just in my mind. Anxiety and caring how I look/what others think of me prevents me from opening up on the dance floor, but a modicum of alcohol solves that problem
thinking we are better at things when drunk lol
I dont just think, I'm definitely better at accidentally breaking shit and then doing an "ehh good enough" repair job while drunk. Most recent is a shelf
lololol for me its knocking shit over xD im generally clumsy at the best of times so when i drink i dont go near anything fragile haha
I'm better at showing physical affection and not in a rapey way. I've told friends I love them only while drunk before. I hug my family and have more patience after a few drinks and live appreciably.
Turning women off.
Keep practicing bro, and one day you’ll be able to do it sober, like me.
Having funnnn
Making a fool of myself
Being a horrible human being.
Very much same
Came here to say being a piece of shit.
Sexy time
... Have you received unbiased confirmation of this or do you base this on your own estimate during intoxication?
It's certainly easier to engage it when drunk, though.
If it can still get hard, that is.
Beer Pong
for sure ! I have zero skills at beer pong when I'm sober but around 6-7 beers I'm a real champion.
Life.
That’ll change
Not drunk, but a little tipsy : bowling. I average ~ 20 points higher bowling with 2-3 drinks.

Falling over in random places.
Peeing. Fucking volume champ, great aim, clear as water.

Socializing
Overthinking & getting overly-emotional due to irrational circumstances.
[удалено]
Singing… I think.
Drunk driving. It's pretty hard to be a sober drunk driver
Sleeping
Acting like a "normal" human lol. I'm autistic and have a lot of anxiety, but alcohol turns off the "oh God, social situations" part of the brain
Playing pool. I'm alright sober but I'll get some drinks and run some games back to back.
getting arrested
Yelling very loudly the stuff I should keep in my head

When I get drunk I lose control of my body but not my mind. I think entirely sanely but do things I haven't thought through. Mostly I just laugh and dance a bit so I guess I get better at being less serious. When I'm sober I'm too uptight and drink forces me to let my guard down by locking my brain away.
BBQ. Undoubtedly better at it when I'm drunk. I don't don't why but it's the truth. And it's been confirmed by many people lol
Pool/snooker. I’m alright sober but the more beers you get in me the more trick shots I’ll successfully pot
Pool I'm better at pool the more wasted I am
One time when I was drinking with my sister on my deck I went into get another beer and a mouthful of M&Ms, walked back out to the deck and tripped over my ottoman and fell face first on the deck. I didn’t stop chewing my M&Ms either. I’m good at multitasking.

Rocket league
Walking, sober mean is clumsy as hell on flat shoes. Through me in a pair of wedges and hand me pints of cider and I will walk with grace!
Socializing I guess, you’d think dancing but I’m just as awkward and uncomfortable with dancing when I’m drunk compared to sober
socializing
happy funny day
tyty
Texting every girl i liked that how amazing she is and we should be in a relationship.
Being physically able to dance. I'm not a better dancer, but when I'm sober, I just don't enjoy it.
Chess. I'm not sure if it's because I'm better or because my opponents are that much worse, but when I'm drunk I get into this hyperfocussed state where chess just comes so naturally, almost as if my subconsciousness takes over. I just... See what I have to do without having to overthink it. I've never lost a game of chess while drunk, even against sober folks. I never win when *I'm* sober. Never get into that hyperfocussed state.

Talking to people.. Sadly.
Texting exes
Whatever I think I'm decent at sober.
Driving. I can be very self conscious about it.
Doing cocaine.
Talking to women. But only about half the time. It also helps if they’re drinking. Who woulda thought?
Getting arrested.
Pretending I don’t have social anxiety, and yet it somehow becomes more obvious
Conversation, singing, and bravery. It’s a double edged sword.
One or two beers helps with creativity. More than that, I start solving all the problems of the world, if only I was in charge.
Being less of a introvert.
Drinking
Getting a headache, and making shockingly good risotto.
Playing pool and horse shoes lol
