I'm generally a lot more fun to be around drunk (though I guess I shouldn't say drunk, buzzed is a better word), as most people are. I've noticed that I generally like who I am a lot more when I've got a bit of alcohol in my system. Not that I like being drunk more than being sober (though so long as I'm not flat out wasted, a heavy buzz is definitely nice every once in awhile), but that the way I act under the influence is sometimes how I wish I could act sober. I have no problem flirting with girls no matter how beautiful when buzzing whereas when I'm sober I can still talk to girls fine, but reaching that point of flirtiness between the two of us is for some reason much more difficult. Boring conversation is never an issue and I'm just generally a lot more fun. I'm not saying I wish I could always be this way, I just wish I could turn this on every now and again. I have no problem with who I am sober, that's not what this thread is about, I'm just a much more reserved person and I tend to over analyze every situation rather than act on my inhibitions, and for some reason I have trouble exiting this state without alcohol.

How about you guys? Do you ever wish you could instantly come under the effects of alcohol for certain situations? Have you noticed what I've noticed or am I the only one?

I'm myself, just a little zanier, less responsible and like many I feel bulletproof (Not that I do anything stupid, but my confidence is boosted 100% when drunk)

Never been drunk and seeing as I have no shame w/out a buzz I'd probably be a violent drunk. I can say that when my friends are drunk we have a lot more fun than usual, but that's because they feel invincible and i join in and play games like FBI. FBI is where you find a neighborhood with fenced in backyards and just jump the walls from one side of the street to the next. Ex. If there are 10 houses on one side of the street then that's 20+ walls that have to be jumped.

exactly the same for me. Although because alcohol makes me more outgoing it eased my nerves for karaoke last night.

When I'm buzzed or drunk, I feel like I'm a more enjoyable person to be around, and as such, I like myself more. So, yes.

one_plum
It does and that's what's great about it. When sober, I'm always self-conscious and worry about what other people think of me. When drinking, all that seems to go away and I can actually be myself more. But then when you get too drunk the effect becomes pointless, you lose self control and do stupid things. I tend to stick to a moderately drunk state where I can enjoy myself and still have control.

Well, most my friends keep trying to get me drunk, I dont get drunk often though despite popular belief. I will drink maybe .. MAYBE once a month. I generally have just too much responsibility though. I cant say I hate myself when Im drunk... I laugh a lot, and others laugh with me. I always remember everything that happens when I am, tho when I was young I used to get to the point where I remembered nothing cept throwing up. At least now I remember EVERYTHING, and can control myself. I am more social when im drunk. *shrugs*

I understand not doing something you do not like or agree with...but why would you not try something in moderation, even if just to know for sure how you feel about it?
