My advice. Find a save situation and get piss drunk once just keep drinking. Example. In your house with a couple Close friends. The more drunk you get the less control you have over everything. If your at a party or something i suggest only have 2-4 beers tops. Don't ever get wasted there. If you drink too much you end up puking and hangovers are a bitchh. After drinking you should drink as much water as possible and take 2 aleve before bed to help avoid hangovers. Alcohol makes you dehydrated in turn giving you a hangover. If you drink water along with alcohol it will slow down you getting drunk. Same goes with food.

It's odd, your mind thinks clearly in a way but your body does opposite, and you say everything you think other then holding back. I have called my exes drunk and like they say alcohol is a truth serum. I have done things while I was drunk I did not remember the next day. Basically you say what you think and do what you want but the next day it is a lot less clear.

I HAVE been that drunk that I couldn't remember what happened. I had sex with a guy and didn't remember - but I knew I had done it because of how I felt physically. I have also had entire conversations that I can't remember and done many things that people have told me about afterwards, that I can't remember to this day. I used to get text messages the next day from guys who I had chatted to and we swapped numbers, but I couldn't tell you their names, what they looked like, or anything about them. This wasn't every single time I got drunk, only when I drank far too much or when I drank vodka. I used to wake up and immediately check my phone to see if I had contacted anyone.

All that said, I think "I was drunk" can be a convenient excuse, and I have sometimes used it to explain something I did or said that I regret.

I don't drink any more, by the way :)

Generally speaking, when you're drunk you know what you're doing. Alcohol lowers your inhibitions, so things that are a bad idea seem OK. You are aware of what you're doing, but you aren't really considering the consequences or implications of your actions.

There's a saying that goes "you wouldn't eat your own shit if you were drunk." What that means is, you have a fairly good idea of what you're doing. You know you're making out with someone, you just don't consider what might happen afterwards. I have seen people so drunk I wasn't sure if they actually knew what was going on, but at that point you would be so incoherent you couldn't make out with anyone anyway. Personally, I've never been nearly that drunk.

I don't really think drunken words are sober thoughts. Drinking makes you feel some things you wouldn't normally feel otherwise.

In my personal experience, I've never been so drunk that I had absolutely no idea what I was doing or could not recall anything from the previous night. I've never drunk-dialed or made out with someone I didn't want to make out with in the first place.

It really depends on the level of intoxication though.

While I have never had that much alcohol in my body at one time, I know people who have done some pretty absurd things while intoxicated.

I had a friend who drank some vodka. She passed out at a party. They couldn't wake her up. They took her clothes off. They threw her in the shower and turned on the cold water. They slapped her in the face, trying to awaken her from the drunken state. She was only 17 at the time, and, as such, they thought they'd get in trouble for allowing a minor to drink with them--especially so heavily. So, when they figured she probably had alcohol poisoning, they redressed her (they were drunk, too, so her clothes were put on backwards), drove her down the road, and put her in the ditch by the side of the road.

When she woke up, she had absolutely no idea what had happened. She remembered going to the party and starting to drink. She remembered starting to feel drunk. Then, she remembered waking up in the ditch. That was all.

She found a friend that had been at the party and asked them what happened. They said she passed out and explained the story. They had UNDRESSED her. MOVED her all over the house. THREW her in the bathroom. Ran COLD water over her. She never knew what the Hell as going on!

What you need to know is that there are different levels of intoxication.

Also, it really depends on the person's personality. Some people get very angry when drunk, even though they are relatively nice otherwise. Some people come out of their shell and are more outgoing--but are typically shy and quiet in person. Some people just feel good and are happy--even when they're already that way usually.

This being said, I honestly don't believe the "drunken words reveal sober thoughts," applies to every case. Sure, maybe it does to majority of the situations--but not always. I've known extremely nice people become violent when drunk and, when they sober up, they regret it and cannot understand why they were so angry in the first place.

I've also known, in some rare instances, extremely drunk people to talk about things that made absolutely no sense. Say, for example, they start talking about their dead cat--but they never, in their entire lifetime, even owned a cat. You can't really say they're talking about what's truly in their heart then. They're drunk. They aren't thinking clearly.

Alternatively, I've had A LOT of female friends who have hooked-up while drunk. In all of these cases that I've encountered, both parties wanted to go further than just some talking. While the girl may later regret being stupid and making out with the strange-but-sex guy--they typically were sober enough to recall it.

If it's a problem where somebody appears to become sexually promiscuous when drinking then they need to realize and accept this so that they can alter their behavior and not become THAT intoxicated. Maybe they're faithful when sober but can't keep their pants on when drinking. It's a problem. They need to realize it's a problem. They need to take steps to prevent that from happening.

It's like somebody who realizes that when they get drunk they are violent. They need to realize that this is not acceptable behavior. They need to take steps to prevent that type of situation from occurring.
