    Hot take: anyone who's a violent piece if shit on alcohol is probably already a violent piece of shit. Being drunk just makes me less anxious and more able to be myself. If someone is hitting people while drunk, they want to do that all the time, they're just held back by social pressure. I talk about Mao and Stalin while drunk.

      That's simply not how alcohol works. Sure it can have different effects on different people but it's an addictive drug that has many adverse effects including making people more easily upset or even delirious.

        Yeah the few instances I've been drunk I get very moody and immediately start crying. I've never felt the lack of inhibitions other people talk about. I just get miserable.

      The whole "who you are drunk is who you are really" has much merit. We're all people with filters.

      Not that I condone being a violent piece of shit but that smacks much more of uncontrolled substance abuse to me than an inherant character flaw. If you're never violent without alcohol, the problem seems to be much more that you're addicted to alcohol.

        Yeah filters are an inherent part of ones personality. So in my opinion anything that removes inhibition or filters is changing one's personality

            Yeah. When sober or only a little tipsy, I'm the most trustworthy and secretive person. I'll never tell someone else's secrets, I don't reveal any of my own secrets. Never have. Hopefully never will, with regards to other's secrets. But when I used to drink and get drunk, it's like a switched flipped, and I became the biggest gossip ever. Spilling the tea and secrets, including my own. Luckily I've never managed to let anything big slip. I don't know how or why it happened, but it did in the past.

            Whatever part of my personality that stops that from happening when sober is a big part of who I am, and it just gets removed by the change in brain chemistry while drunk or something.

        Well, I don't believe something like being violent is an inherent character flaw; character flaws are learned/ responses to a person' life experiences. Character can be changed (though it's not easy).
