Could it be that when people drink they change? Happy, sad, angry, talkative, quiet, overbearing, ext. . . . . .
Spirits if you think about it does your spirit change when you start drinking? Do you find liquid courage, or become the life of the party? Other wish do you change into the opposite of who you are.
Spirits in a bottle, to drink a spirit to which is not yours so that you may change into someone your not, for most people change!

Well thats my idea.
Anyone else ever thought about it?

liqior is a dangerous thing, you dont know how it will affect you.

Yes but isn't moderation the key?

yes, moderation is the key to everything. nothing is really bad, unless you misuse it.

Well said

I don't drink that often (maybe once or twice a year) but when I do, it does change me a little. I have the gift to gab, and when I drink, I talk ALOT and fast. I say stupid stuff too, but I'm talking so much and so fast, it gets passed by easily because everyone has a hard time keeping up with my conversations.(I guess that's a good thing, for me anyway)

In the case of someone like me who doesn't drink often I think there is def. a personality change. I feel less self conscious and more free to just be me. Others have told me they don't really notice much of an outside change, so it's more something I feel rather than portray. The one man I dated for several months after my divorce did tell me it makes me the aggressor in bed too, of which he appreciated...haha.

In the case of a chronic drinker, I think they are affected in such a way that it just eventually becomes them. I.E. they become a butthole, a mean drunk or someone who needs to push reality away. The booze just sort of turns them into someone else. I can see where it would be so hard to get back from that, considering your life then is centered around the alcohol and how you need it to feel like you are yourself.

Not sure that came out like I wanted it too, but hopefully you get what I am saying.

I am a great drinker and have lots of fun, UNLESS I drink toooo much. That's not often and thank God for that, cuz I could take out a whole football team when I do. Not a pretty picture

having the priest over for a "rip roaring " was entertaining, to say the least...

Lowering if inhibition.... liquid courage.
