Why do I get so dozy & boring when I drink when others get silly?

Question

I'm a quiet person, I used to be painfully shy but I am not so bad now and use strategies in conversation etc to increase my confidence and keep communication going. However, I don't go to parties that often but when I do (eg. last night) and I drink I get really boring. I just sit there and lose all thoughts, like I can't think of anything to say and I end up following people round like a loser. It improved when I met an old school friend but for a whole 3 hours I just couldn't think of a single interesting thing to talk about. I didn't know many people, but even the people I knew I didn;t really know how to talk to. Why do I go so mute and boring when I'm drunk. I watch everyone else go silly and wild and think why isn't that happening to me. I seem to soak up alcohol. I have never in my life gotten close to trashed or comaring, I don't think i'm capable of it, but the more I drink the more timid and boring I get. Why is this?

Answer 1

Alcohol is a depressant and it affects everyone differently.  I am not encouraging you to drink but if you have Red Bull and Vodka that should help walk you up.  You don't need to get trashed...seriously nothing good comes from getting trashed!

Answer 2

Different types of alcohol can affect people in many different ways.

When I drink Vodka, it all hits me at once.

When I drink tequila, I get turned on.

When I drink Spiced Rum, I'm crazy.

And so on and so on.

Try different things and see how you react. You never want to drink too much when you go out, because you don't want to make fool of yourself. Have fun drinking!

Answer 3

persons react to alcohol in different ways. It depends on the feeling and personality of an individual. As they say, you'll know th true colors of a person once you get them drunk.

Answer 4

I get a similar reaction when I drink, and it sounds like I have a similar personality to yours. Drinking doesn't really affects me mentally, other then slowing down thinking, just the normal physical effects.

The first time I got drunk I was in the Air Force. I drank a pitcher of beer, and then decided to test my reaction time by playing pole position. That's me, analytical! Needless to say, I was normally really good at Pole Position, this time I was horrible! Quick lesson in what would happen behind a real steering wheel.

So I would say your just as normal as the next person, just different.

Answer 5

Drink less? lol.. em... u could talk about the weather or something... lol

Answer 6

you're probably just drinking too much.  but also, alcohol effects everyone differently.  i know that one or two for me usually gets me buzzed, and if i'm moving around, i'm fine, but as soon as i sit, i'm out like a light.  and if i have more than one or two, doesnt matter what i'm doing, i'm going to fall asleep very shortly.
