K3587 answered Sunday August 30 2009, 3:12 pm: Well, people really don't become any different when they are drunk. Basically, the filter between brain to mouth crumbles, and they say things they may not normally say. These things they say do not come out of thin air. A man may tell his girlfriend he's tired of her shit and wants her to move out. You can accredit his brutal honesty to his inebriation, but he's most likely felt that way for a while, and never felt comfortable saying it while sober.
A drunk person may become more sociable, talkative, flirty, angry, physical, philosophical, reserved, depresssed, adventurous, suicidal, destructive, brave...any number of things. Personally, I become more talkative, which is hilarious because I lose the ability to form coherent sentences.
In short, people do not become someone else entirely under the influence. Typically, what lies beneath the surface tends to rise and shine. [ K3587's advice column | Ask K3587 A Question ]

Sometimes the difference isn't always negative, not everyone gets angry/bitter/etc. Some people get really flirty, others loveable, funny, mopey.

Some of my friends who are shy or not as outgoing, start drinking and turn into these loud, kind of obnoxious people. It's like when they drink, they let go and become a different person. some of them get angry or sad, their emotions come out full blast it seems when they drink.
well, hope i helped ! xxo. [ itdependsonyoux3's advice column | Ask itdependsonyoux3 A Question ]
loveable17 answered Saturday August 29 2009, 11:37 am: of course they are different. someone who isnt drinkng can do normal everyday things. yes it does also depend on the amount, but a person under the influence have difficulty driving, say things they wouldnt say sober, are more of a risk of fighting and engaging in unprotected sexual activity. They don't make very wise decisions and don't have the mind set to, often that is how pregnancy in young teens can be caused. You could also end up thinking someone may really love you and they just said that because they were drunk and wanted to get down your pants.
