Thoughts on personality change through drink
I am a firm believer that when we drink, the monster that appears is not the real us. However, it irks me when i hear folk saying, 'It's a truth drug, it's the real you and it all comes out when you are drunk. You are just a horrible person who can hide that fact when sober. I have heard this sort of thing said so many times, not just about me but about others with drink issues. I think that's a load of old nonsense myself. The real me would never neglect my kids, or fall off tables' exposing my knickers to all or talk gibberish all night long on the phone to my long suffering friends and family. I'm really not like that in real life. I suppose we can get a bit loose tongued and say what shouldn't be said when drunk, but again, when sober, we would adopt more restraint. What are people's thoughts on this?
