The feeling after 2 beers

[SayWhat]

Hi

I've been wondering this question for a while now and decided to post it because I'm in this state right now.

We know alcohol makes people less inhibited, they become more open, more social, more who they really are.

But I think a lot about that last part, the 'who they really are'. If I think about certain situations when I'm in this state, the world is my oyster, i feel terrific, I can handle anything, etc.

To be clear this happens quite fast, I don't drink excessively, I like a couple and that's it (because of this certain state that I find myself in).

But the main question, alcohol releases the brakes in people. Is this who we really are? Is this how we see the world if we wouldn't think that much about others and just be ourselves or is it the effect of the alcohol itself (yes it is but i hope you get what I'm wondering about).

I don't know I get all instropective when I drink, and start talking about deep ****. Lol, I think it varies from person to person, if you are an extrovert you'll do crazy stuff, if you are more of an introvert you'll get into old wise man mode.

I think it's a more confident version of ourselves. Also, depending on the alcohol and the situation, a happier version. But I think the confidence usually borders on arrogance if you're enjoying yourself and this will make you less wise.

Drinking will increase your current emotional state and release your emotion. So if you are depressed and alone, it won't make you feel any better.

Just to illustrate that, I have seen my ex-BPD completely drunk, this was some experience of what booze creates. She switched from a state of complete euphoria, laughing her a$$ off to a state of extreme sadness, crying out loud and back and forth every 2 minutes depending on what I told her. She was also extremely aggressive and horny as fvck. That's the day I saw her real emotional "stability". Scary stuff now I think about it.

You wonder why girls are horny when they are drunk? Simply because they cannot withhold their real nature anymore. No more censorship in the brain.

And how do you do that?

And yeah I felt good because I had a good day, but that feeling is amazing and I want it as much as possible (without the drinking of course).

That's something to be very proud of. Most people have the one and lose control.

I never drink but once I tried to drink as much as I could to see till how much I can take it.
I had like half bottle of whiskey and i was 100% conscious of my moves still though very serious.
The next day my friends told me that i was looking like a murderer looking for his next target lol .

A coke is what you need to relax.

I've never believed that alcohol brings out the "true you". I think that's a bunch of bull****e. Like
it some sort of truth serum.

Alcohol lowers your inhibitions. Another way of saying that is that it lowers your fear levels. now when you think about it....we have fear or inhibitions for a reason...to keep us from danger and from harming ourselves. The lowering of the inhibitions is seen as a social lubricating tool. However, when you go past a certain level....the small recommended level which hardly anyone who drinks pays attention to ...the inhibitions are lowered and your judgement is impaired.

Suddenly that line that shows you what's appropriate to say or do in a social setting is blurred. This is where people do and say stupid, dangerous and inappropriate things often putting their life in danger or/and their reputation in ruins. This is at the point that some people say that the true self is coming out. I think nothing could be further from the truth. Your brain is dangerously impaired. Your judgement is fvcked....

some people go through a personality change when they drink. Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde. Let's not forget that alcohol is a drug. A drug that alters your perception of reality.

I say fair play if you can get your buzz on after two beers and leave it at that. I don't know many people like that.

I need a six pack to feel that buzz.

When their brain does not work anymore and you have two people completely drunk who act differently, what actually governs their behaviors ?

Perhaps it is not their true self but it is their true emotions they kept inside for way too long.

And what exactly are "true emotions"? You have a scale of emotions that you can feel at any one time and alcohol and all drugs can change your emotions. I don't think it's accurate to say that alcohol suddenly reveals your true emotions that were hidden all of this time....

Alcohol depresses the central nervous system.......your impaired. Why do you think people who are drunk slur their speech for example? because their brain is impaired. So who governs two drunk people's behaviours? An impaired brain. It's like if you start messing with the controls of a plane.

I'll tell you where I do kind of agree with you. If someone has any kind of trauma something from their past that they have bottled up inside......alcohol can open the gates of urison and all hell can break loose.

Man takes a drink, the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes the man.

I think drinking alcohol allows you to think less and do more. It's a variation of confidence, albeit a dangerous superman confidence. Let me ask you something, does having money give you confidence. Does having women give you confidence? I can't give you money lol, but I can give you the tools to get women without any effort on your part whatsoever. A couple friends and myself are discussing this very phenomenon. Join the discussion, man, because the type of questions show that you have a pretty good grasp on how to find the right answers by asking the right questions.

Your emotions are intensified, and emotions are being released that normally remain hidden. Yes in some sense you are more who you really are. You get to look in your unfiltered soul.
But that is where you should leave it at, that happens when you are drunk. You will not likely ever be that open completely sober.

See it as a release from time to time.

The overconfidence you get makes you believe things are a certain way that are not actually true. It makes you think you are stronger than you actually are.
You are only as strong as being tested by life, completely sober.

So don't make the mistake of thinking about serious stuff or thinking you own the world, because you don't.

Have fun with alcohol, be a happy drunk and bring good vibes to people. And don't get anoying.

I think there is a certain warm and fuzzy feeling that comes mid second beer. I drink 4-8 at most about once every other week. As of this year I have started only drinking at home. Mostly because I carry a gun everywhere I go because of how nutzo the world has become, and I and can't lawfully drink even a sip and have a gun on me at the same time. Around where I live, there are a lot of people who go to bars regularly and only drink soda. It's very common to see and the bartenders don't even care so long as you tip them decently.
