This took me a couple of minutes.
it did give me the opportunity to picture you doing "the safety dance" though.
I choked on my protein bar this morning and all I could think of was, "A doughnut would never treat me this way."
possibly. Though I don't talk too fast in public unless I'm drinking. Though I can already mentally see DH giving me that look wanting to agree with you, Pants.
Random question for everyone (well, drinkers anyway):
What kinda drunk are/were you? Happy, sad, angry, talkative, sleepy, confrontational, funny, frisky, focused (this is weird, by a friend of mine is this), flighty...
I don't really get drunk anymore, but if I do, I get a lot more talkative. Also, I'm normally a quiet talker, but my wife likes to say that after I drink, my voice gets to a more normal volume. Sometimes getting loud, but not often.
When I was younger, I had a wide range depending on the situation. I'd say alcohol boosted whatever emotion I was going through. Except anger. I've never understood the "angry drunk"

I had a friend tell me once that I was acting drunk after drinking a quart of chocolate milk.... The sugar must have absorbed right away. I was really giddy.
happy, chatty, funny, frisky, then sleepy.
DH also says my voice gets louder too. Never angry though.
I used to hate those storms that rolled in at 7:30 and lingered for 2-3 hours. Once they miss their normal sleep window, ugh
I'd say that's probably me as well. As for the angry drunk, I didn't understand it from the standpoint of if I got angry when drunk, I wouldn't drink. But, I understood it from the standpoint that alcohol lowers inhibitions, so it removes masks or loosens ties that we have around us or that have placed around ourselves. So, the people who are the most different when under the influence tended to be the ones who were the most masked or restrained somehow in their sober lives. In college, the phony 'super holy good girls' a lot of times would be craziest if their holiness/good girl was an act.
When I was younger, my dad didn't make a lot of money, but was completely committed to supporting us. He couldn't speak his mind at work because of his (possibly rational, possibly irrational) fear of getting in a bad place and losing his job, and there were sacrifices he and my mom had to make to support us, so under alcohol, those pent up emotions came out. (and I'm totally not saying he beat us or anything, but he wasn't pleasant to be around as he ranted about whatever was on his mind) It was the reason I didn't drink until college, I didn't see healthy relationships with alcohol until college (surprising, right? I saw healthy alcohol in college?!?!? and sure, I saw unhealthy as well, but I could identify it), so I stayed away not wanting to get into that. It also helped me see how dealing with your emotions in a healthy way was the first part of not getting into unhealthy relationships with booze. Now, that us kids are gone and they're financially much better off, I don't think my dad has such an unhealthy relationship with booze, other than it's just a way of life amongst his acquaintances (I don't mean that to say he's a drunk who hangs around a bunch of drunks, but that drinking is just part of their mini-culture)
Now that I'm older and can see all those things, the resentment that I had toward him as a younger man (with no kids of my own to support, so not knowing that complete change in one's life) has faded into...not pity, since I see his strengths, too...but I guess maybe compassion(?) and an acknowledgement that it was a weakness of his.
More talkative, louder drunk here. And sleepy.
My brother is an argumentative drunk. He'll get pretty obnoxious.
My wife is a happy, talkative drunk.

My wife is a happy, talkative drunk.
This transition...is the most important transition that a man needs to identify and be able to predict ahead of time.
This is pretty much my drunk evolution as well.
If I get to full on **** faced I get a little mopey too.
Saturday night after my bachelor party I slept on the bathroom floor, accidentally pulled the shower curtain down on top of me. Woke up at 4:30 am and emptied my stomach then slept much better in my bed.
Sam took good care of me.
She get frisky after a few drinks but heads to pukey and weepy if it goes too much farther. We went to a wedding last summer and she had about 8 glasses of wine without sufficient food in her stomach. That night did not end well for her, but I was there to take care of her.
