Do You believe that people speak their true feelings when they are drinking alcohol?

It definitely depends on the person. Some people can't help but be 'honest' because physically speaking, their inhibitions are lost. This is not to say that this will be the most honest answer, but simply what they may not have said in a normal situation. For a lot of people, being drunk is an excuse to be able to say things. So, it really depends on the situation.

I have alcoholic friends who are professional people and not at all religiously minded.\nThey say that it is almost like a "mantra" - a way of fucusing your mind.\nThey all mix with different classes and are non-judgmental.\nIt is a terrible disease and not tolerated by society, because it is so scary.\nI wish I had the guts to go to one of their meetings and I genuinely respect those who have, irrespective of race, class, religion etc... good Luck!

No. Some are pathetic, abused women who put up with the likes of YOU, when they're drunk, which is worse.\n\nIt's not a matter of gender (that means what sex you are). It's personality. Someone who's generally happy will be a "happy" drunk. Someone who's got resentment and anger will have it exacerbated (made more pronounced) by drinking, male or female. \n\nBy and large, women tend to be more VERBALLY abusive when drunk, whereas men are more PHYSICALLY abusive then...due to brain chemistry, size and social conditioning. \n\nIf you ever came across ME while drunk, your stupid question about women and your negative attitude (depending on whether you made nice w/me or not) would probably cause me to clock you! So...it's back in your court, Bubba!\n\nWhat are you like when YOU've had a few too many? I find that those who "cast stones" are usually on the receiving end themselves, more often than not. Have a few "skeletons" in our closet, do we?\n\nBTW, Resh Galuta; is there something you want to SHARE with the rest of us?

I beleive you can say anything if you speak the truth in love.\n\nThere are times where I had to say things to people that were really senstive issues like bad oral hygene or people that are very self absorbed.\n\nTruth hurts but it also sets you free. The Bible says in Proverbs 27 that wounds of a friend are better than kisses of an enenmy, meaning a friend would love you enough to hurt your feelings to make you a better person and say the truth even if you dont want to hear it.\n\nFor example I wanted to get married more than anything in the whole wide world and I met a man who is now my husband, there were people in our family that were relatives that did not share our enthuiisiam for love.\n\nOne realtive had a family meeting regarding the two of us getting married and let me tell you I was really angry and mad. \n\nBut in all fairness we did not have jobs. no benenfits and she expalined to my parents that my fiance would never make a lot of money and that I would not be able to stay home the way my mom did. I did not have a teachable sprirt at that time either.\n\nBecause this person cared enough to "burst my bubble" of joy\nmy parents have a clear picture of what my husband and I would have to face.\n\nThis realtive was my mother in law. We are living on our own, we both work, and my mother in law till this day tells us and others how proud she is of us for waiting and not rushing into marraige.\n\nIf you love someone speak the truth in love. Some of the closest friends at our church are the ones who take us aside and lovingly point out where we need to improve.\n\nAntoher question are people being nice to be genuine or aviod conflict? I feel it is more important to be genuine than it is to be "nice" I hope this is of help to you and this was a very good question

I am.  Been going to AA a year.  He is.  I was totally functional, never missed work, etc.  But drank almost every night.\n\nGuidance lies in the answer to the following question:  Why does he drink at all?  What is the negative part of life that he wishes to escape from or at least numb every night?  For me, it was simply the world.  (Too many mean people, too many corrupt politicians, too many wars, too much stress, too many idiots, etc.)  But when one considers the negative ramifications of drinking, especially on health, finances and relationships, it is truly better to live life sober on life's terms.  The problem is that sounds like a miserable proposition to an alcholic.  The truth, though, is after going to AA for a while, the laughter starts to come back, the peace of mind, the serenity.  Life becomes a joy again that doesn't need to be numbed every night.\n\nGood luck!

Do you just make this stuff up because you like to see yourself write s**t or are you just drunk.

"A drunk mans words are a sober mans thoughts"  Get him hammered and ask him.  Also he might just be afraid to ask because when you say how much you like someone you put yourself on the line, if they don't feel the same way, you can get really hurt.

Given that you can drink when you're pissed off makes me think that it is psychological issue.  I suggest that you drink more often and with a more positive attitude.  Stay focused.

No. While feelings are REAL, they are not TRUTH. Base your life & decisions on truth; not feelings.

Yes! Because when they are drunk it makes them brave and they tell everything and their feelings come out. Things they would lie about and bottle up when they are sober. As for people if they were mad-again the truth would come out, they won't hold anything back. Example, when my sister was mad at her boy-friend, she told me that he ripped me off and it was true.

They are. You'll be happy in the future when you find out that your brain is still functioning and working while theirs have holes. (A little fact)\n\nBTW, if they're so superficial, I'd suggest just getting other friends. They should force you, nor should they pressure you. I don't drink but my friends do. They know I don't and won't do anything to pressure me. In fact, they make parties dry at times for my sake. :)

your head after a few drinks?

It does help to remove their inhibitions and relax.  What you see then is a good indicator of their inner character.  Most people when they're drunk are "happy drunks", but there are a few who are mean drunks.  They can be nice when sober, but after a few drinks, watch out.

I was told once that I did things I didn't recall doing, but I remembered everything that happened that night as I was not as drunk as they thought i was.  They later apologized for exaggerating.  Then, later in life, there was a moment I did black out.  I definately had too much and I highly recommend on cutting back and staying in control.

You bet! Have you ever \nbeen sober in a room full of social drunks, its very easy to go against the flow when you see how strange they act and how funny everything is to them when they are two shades gone.\n\nBlubla
