Effects of alcohol?

Question

if a person who drinks has way too much to drink and says really horrible things, is that what the person "really thinks" about you, or is it "just the alcohol talking"?

I had an awful experience recently, and I don't know where I stand. In addition, I don't know if the person remembers what they said or not.

Answer 1

when someone is drunk, they just their own personality the same way... but MEGA sized....

usually people are very very honest when they are drunk, because they either think you are just as drunk so it wont mean anything, or they feel like they are dreaming about it.

Answer 2

thats not neccesarily true. alchohol does lower your inhibitions which may make you say things without thinking, but it can also affect your attitude and make you think irrationally, saying things you don't mean or wouldn't normally think.

  only you can know for sure. you either have to ask this person, or figure it out from what you know of them, is that something they'd really do.

Answer 3

Chances are it was what was meant.  I have a lot of experience in saying things without thinking and that is what the booze does, you don't think before you speak.  Sorry but they probably meant it.

Answer 4

What were you drinking? Some alcohols are what you call 'anger-inducing': vodka, tequila, absente/absinth; anything that is stronger than 39%. Anything said or done under those kinds is usually the liquor talking. If you were drinking beers or something light, then you should blame the person.

From personal experience, I know that the person may or may not remember what they said. I've given and recieved this. Even if they remember, they might be so embarassed that they pretend they don't.

Suggestions:

-Ask the person for an apology. Explain what happened if they don't remember.

-Ask the person to seek help for their alcoholism. It's never to early to stop a drinking problem.

Answer 5

probably not, i once drank so much i have no memory of the night and the things they told me i did are totally out of character for me, so just casually test the water and start a conversation and see waht happens
