This may be the reason I quit drinking completely

I realized what an idiot I look like when I am loaded

You make a great point...some people just always seem to be mean drunks.

Well, we ALL look idiotic when we’re loaded, but one or two martinis should just add a bit of poise.

Looks like a great test for smoking out sociopaths.

I question anyone who’d volunteer for an experiment where you shock someone.

You make an excellent point: selection bias can certainly skew study results.

Now for sure, alchohol makes you less inhibited, but it stands to reason that basically, it amplifies the type of person you already are by disinhibition.

Bingo!!!!

Exactly! I’ve always been of the mind that if you really want to know someone get drunk with them.I don’t remember who said it but the saying that “there are only 2 types of honest people in the world...small children and drunks” is pretty true.

Watch how the mean drunks treat the servants.

That tells you who they really are.

I agree with you on that.

There is nobody I despise more than someone who abuses people who aren’t allowed to fight back.

LOL - you should meet my old boss at the 5-sided funny farm.

What a complete $ss.

He looked at me one day, and said, “Pat, you and I are like an officer and an NCO in the army. I am the Officer.”

I was about to blow my top - about to - about to - but then, I inhaled. I took a deep breath. I imagined the feeling of the cold water, the burbles of the bubles, as I held his F&CKIN N%EK under the Patomac Basin...

Then I quit my job. There is only so much stress one can take.
