I read that bit someone posted about drink "numbing feelings" that would be my excuse to drink lots of times. But reading Trimpey, has made me realise, it never numbed my feelings! At first alcohol is a stimulant, bringing on feelings of Euphoria. Thats not numb! Then as you drink more it acts as a depressant, making you feel more relaxed, that's not numb! And as I largely drank for the effect I got when I started drinking, that means it was my BEAST after the euphoria drinking brings, not after the feeling of "nothing"
