NO.

Drinking alcohol makes you feel loose.. then you start to think you are drunk, then you pick up fights because you think you are drunk. then you have the courage to do silly things because you know you are drunk.

Answer 4

I don't drink any more, but when I did I'd often be the hyper, happy fun girl I used to be

Answer 5

I do not think alcohol brings out the real you.  Actually alcohol is a dis-inhibitor.  It does impair judgment, and is a depressant which can make inebriated people have altercations with one another or even cause you to do some stupid things, so in a way it can be called liquid courage or can be called stupidity in a bottle.  Nonetheless if you drink I would hope you do so in moderation, good luck to you and don't drink and drive.

Answer 6

"A drunk man's words are a sober man's mind"

Answer 8

Answer 12

I guess it brings out the more open side of people. I tend to talk c**p when I drink ahha, but I never start fights. I think if someone annoys me though, then I will have a go at them. But yeah in a way it brings out another side of you.

Answer 13

mmm.. well kinda?

i mean most of your hidden secrets about yourself are exposed during the most drunk nights of your life. I've had some experiences where I've told a few secrets about myself. I don't know about the fights.

Usually drunk people are careless and if they accidentally hit someone then iguess it could turn into a fight.  

Answer 14

I think in some people it allows them to say and do things they wouldn't normally do when sober.
