-- Posted by somelikeitred at 8:55 am on July 7, 2008 I am a fairly happy person, atleast I like to think so. And I hardly ever consume alcohol. Normally I would be the designated driver, and the one to take care of the people puking and I would make sure nobody did anything stupid enough to harm themselves or others...I drink SOMETIMES, and I did notice a trend due to my drinking behavior. It surprised me. See, I always saw my friends when they would drink and they would all become happy, extremely social, funny and daring. I drink and I become depressed. I cry and cry and think about how much "my life sucks" and then I seclude myself from the world the next day. I don't even leave my house..This has happened about three times before. I know you're going to say "Uhm. Stop drinking??" but that isn't what I am here for....I am actually thinking- is this something dealing with much more psychology than I would think? IDK.   -- Posted by La Motta at 8:57 am on July 7, 2008 Beer/alcohol is a depressant. I have a mate that does that, he goes all quiet when drinking and becomes moody, not aggressive. So I don't know, some people shouldn't drink alcohol if it causes them to become upset? -- Posted by Khadgar at 8:58 am on July 7, 2008 Drinking tends to make people 'more honest'. What that means is not just honesty to others, but more real in general. Maybe you're not as happy as you think you are? Or, maybe you're not and drinking just brings out your bad side. Don't worry about it too much, either way it won't do to dwell on such things. -- Posted by tennisplayerV2 at 8:59 am on July 7, 2008 ....no alcohol has different effects on people...you just got the "luck" of the draw. -- Posted by pistolxgirl at 9:06 am on July 7, 2008 different people have different side affects when they drink...some people get really irritabble and some people get really happy and horny..it depends on who you are
