  The alcohol just removes all filters. So yes, you wanted to sleep, but at normal times you’d be too embarassed to not sleep in your bed. With alcohol, it’s sleepy time, you sleep and that wheelbarrow looks a lot more inviting than the floor.

  You wanted to go camping but fucked it up because you were drunk.

  • Frozengyro@lemmy.world ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    No, that sounds like camping to me.

      Yeah, the first mistake everyone makes when camping is deciding to go camping.

  When I was an alcoholic, I wanted to keep my best friend from ruining his marriage by having an affair, so I tried to murder him with a gun. Pretty sure I would’ve gone about it differently had I been sober.

    There needs to be more context to this story.

      We were working together in a different state; he kept talking about this girl we worked with; we got drunk at her place- some of us (me) drunker than others; he gave me a ride back to the house we were renting and then went back to the party; I was convinced he was gonna sleep with the girl, and was infuriated he’d do that to his lovely wife and their daughter; I got my pistol and was gonna shoot him when he got home; I was too drunk to chamber a round; our other roommate was there and wrestled the gun away from me.

      It’s an insane bit of logic. “In order to keep you from ruining your marriage, I’m going to kill you.”

      His wife ended up sleeping with her boss a few years later, too, so. 🤷‍♂️

    Gosh, that’s… a lot.

    “When I was an alcoholic” I hope that the “was” in your comment means that you’re in a better place now. I also hope your best friend is still your friend and/or that he didn’t end up ruining his life (or that he was able to rebuild a half decent life from the wreckage of his mistakes)

      I finally read the entirety of your comment, as I had wrongly assumed you had just quoted me the whole time (might wanna check your markup btw)

      But yes, I’ve been sober for 7 years now. We’re maintain a loose friendship, like stereotypical men do with one another; he did not sleep with the girl, but his wife did sleep with her boss a few years after this whole kerfuffle. Is that irony?

    Wow. I did many crazy things while active alcoholic, but murder was not one of them

      Yeah I had some issues I guess. Though, to be fair, I also never murdered anyone.

  I was in a long term relationship with someone with a drinking problem. When a drunk person says something to you they fucking mean it. Their filter is weaker and, as I label it “they have the courage to say something that they were afraid to say sober.” When you figure this out everything is easier to understand.

    Alcohol makes you feel and act different way. Your statement is not correct

  • Aljernon@lemmy.today ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    True to an extent but there’s also a level of brain damage that can come with long term alcoholism (or extreme intoxication) where they lose the ability to form coherent thoughts while plastered and their drunk ramblings can be contradictory.

    I regularly tell people I absolutely hate that I love them while drunk. It’s how my brain makes sure I don’t tell them to go fuck themselves… I also tell everyone i like, that I love them though…

      My dad was blown away when he had to go do work at auto plants overseas and the breakroom vending machines had beer in them. I guess there was a 2 beer unofficial limit. This was like 3 decades ago… So maybe it’s changed.

    BS. Drinking lowers your inhibitions, it doesn’t make you do anything you wouldn’t want to.

    • RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      It makes you less rational and quicker to instinctively do shit before your rational brain catches you. Those instinctive things aren’t some hidden desires, it can be some random dumbass shit. Hell, people have “call of the void” telling them to do suicidal shit

      It also weakens your sense of cause and effect, being drunk makes it harder to link consequences to actions. I’ve done things that really hurt people while drunk and even while still wasted instantly felt bad cause they got hurt. I definitely wanted to punch my friend for pouring booze on the floor but I definitely didn’t want to crack his rib.

• doingthestuff@lemy.lol ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I actually agree with the sentiment of this post even though there are obvious exceptions. Your character doesn’t change when you’re drunk, just your inhibitions. So yeah, getting drunk reminds me I can be an asshole and probably I want to be more often than I do.

  But you know what I’ve never done while even blackout drunk? I’ve never cheated on my wife. Because I don’t want to do that. I’ve had crazy hot women ask me to hook up and I was too drunk to even say, sorry I’m married. All I could get out was naww.

  I’ve felt bad because I have seen devistation in the face of young women being blown off by an older dude but I was too drunk to express myself. I was also probably too drunk to be a great lover at that time, so maybe I did them a favor. But when you’re that drunk and the next morning all you can remember is destroying the ego of a skinny 25 year old, you know you didn’t imagine it.

  Actually it’s pretty comfortable. I worked in landscaping and whenever I’m on break, I’d sit in a wheelbarrow. It’s cool and the shape fits your body pretty well.

      Nah, you sit with your feet between the wheelbarrow handlers and it’ll tilt toward with handlers acting as chair legs, so you’re basically sitting in the chair. And I’m 6’2, it’s really comfortable, you’d be surprised. And most wheelbarrows aren’t square, they’re like round or tapered at where your head rests.

  If all drinking did was limit inhibition, but it also clouds your judgment and slows your reflexes. Some people cannot think things all the way through when intoxicated.
