Do you get happy/loving/expansive when you drink?

We all know the type of person who gets belligerent when they drink; also the type of person who bitches about or obsesses on their no-good-ex or dubious choice of current SO. People who think they can drive but they can’t. People who lose all personal objects not actually sewn onto them.

But I’m wondering, am I the only one who, after a couple of glasses of wine, feels like I’m at an eternal Italian wedding? The injustice and strife of our perverse little world pales in the face of a stalwart little girl or plucky woodland animal. I feel the warmth of unspoken connection between myself and all of my brothers and sisters. (i.e., everyone on earth.) Anyone under 18, I regard with the steady fondness of a favorite auntie.

All in all, it is an excellent time to ask me for a pony.

I don’t think I know anybody else who has this experience. Am I weird?

No, that’s extremely common. Lots of people like a drink or two because it makes them feel good.

I’m a happy drunk, most of the time. However, I may not make others happy, because I start making stupid jokes.

Me too. I’m relaxed, loving and start cuddling people I like. My husband thinks this a welcome change from my usual stressed out self, so he likes it wnen i have 1-2 glasses. Anyway, the effect is shortlived. i quickly become tired and go to bed maybe an hour after the " I love you guys!"- stage.

Still, i wonder sometimes if a case can be made that that person is my uninhibited self. Loving, affectionate, a bit silly and lazy.

I would say the vast majority of people I know are happy drunks, who love the world after a few drinks.

I pretty much immediately get tired, flushed, and overheated. Bleh.

Well, Duh! That’s why we do it!

I exhibit zero outward behavior change. Or so I’ve been told.

For me, a drink or two does amplify the positive / happy parts of my personality. I get even more ebullient, a little goofy, and (hopefully not inappropriately :smiley: ) more affectionate.

I go from happy and loving to sleepy. I am told I don’t exhibit any of the other 4 dwarves.

There have been only 2-3 times in my life when I had enough to drink to affect my disposition, and I don’t like what it made me be.

There have been only 2-3 times this weekend when I had enough to drink to affect my disposition, and I loved what it made me be.

Sure, I think a little alcohol mellows most people out.

It’s usually only after I’ve had a good bottle and a half of gin that the rage starts to kick in.

That’s when I start to fixating on the time I caught my filthy, cheating ex-wife WITH MY SO-CALLED BEST FRIEND!!!

:wink:

Abso-fucking-lutely!! In fact, it’s now officially afternoon where I live, so, why not…?

I do have a few friends who are sloppy/angry drunks, and I never understand that. I don’t know if it’s genetic or what, but there are few things worse than an angry drunk.

I’m with you, man. Add in a little cannabis and I’m in heaven.

I get very talkative, and previous girlfriends have used this to their advantage. I’m normally rather quiet, and they’ve been shocked when they find out I have things to say.

I usually get either giddy or sleepy. It’s a toss-up.

I’m a happy, social drunk.

My legs feel like jello and I get sleepy - which is why I don’t drink when I go out.
