If a shy/ introverted person is drunk, does he/she become more outgoing?

Question

Is it true that when you're drunk you are more outgoing? I am curious...

I've never been drunk myself but I've seen many friends get drunk, and its not about them being more outgoing its them not thinking straight most of the time so they do stupid things that you might consider is 'confident' or 'outgoing' or whatnot. Its not permanent and doesn't change ones personality, its just the state that person is in in the time that they're drunk. Also, Not all people who get drunk are automatically outgoing, I've seen friends start to cry and friends start to laugh uncontrollably, it depends on what you feel inside really and it then reflects on your outside. So I guess the answer to your question is a no, it isn't necessarily true that when you're drunk you are more outgoing.

Well it's true for both me and my friend. When I get tipsy I start talking a lot to people, and when my friend got drunk she would be talking to others and say random things that wouldn't make sense. We're both pretty introverted people but not too shy.

So I guess it's safe to say that shy people who are under the influence of alcohol can be outgoing. It releases their inhibitions. :)

I think that happens with most shy people. Alcohol lowers inhibitions, so you'll do stuff you wouldn't normally do while sober.

I know that I get more outgoing with every drink. It takes me a while to get sufficiently drunk, though. Must be because of my Russian background, I might have an innate tolerance of hard liquors, LOL!

I've never gotten drunk thanks to my battle-tested Russian/Polish liver, but even as I drink liquor, I find that how I act is unwavering.

Alcohol affects people in different ways; I remember when I was sharing some vodka with a pair of Germans I met whilst backpacking that, as they got drunk, they swapped social roles. The one who didn't say anything was telling all the stories while the life-of-the-party person suddenly became introverted and didn't say a word; it was quite funny to watch.

I have no doubt that alcohol will affect you differently too; though, I don't suggest getting deliberately drunk to find out.

Not necessarily but a drunk introverted person will not hold back anything that he or she would have sober. So, ask him anything,and he will give you the straight up answer while he is drunk.

Source: Me, I am introverted person. Sometimes, O got drunk and told people what I really thought. I regretted it afterward when I got sober.

Depends on the person. I can get pretty crazy outgoing. Some people get pissed off it just depends. I've never been pissed drunk... actually once I was the drunkest I have ever been running around having a good time when I got kicked in the balls and the night went down hill from there.

I know I do, though not very outgoing just kind of like what a normal person is on a normal day lol, and if drunk enough I tend to get in touch with my emotional side and tend to attempt to fess my love by any means.

Once I was so drunk I attempted to Facebook message a girl what I liked about her. Thankfully a mate stopped me.

But yes I do get more outgoing as I get more drunk.

yeah for most people, but everyone reacts differently so you just gotta find out

MrNameless · Answer

I don't know.. Depends on one's personalities.. I'm more talkative, depending on what social situation I am in/who I'm talking to. Drinking overall, lower's peoples inhibitions and fears.

Happens to some, but there are 2 more reserved/quiet girls in my house who when drunk will pretty much say nothing, not socialise and just smile all night.

AndyTheG · Answer

I got drunk last night, I wouldn't say I was any more or less outgoing.  If you're struggling to socialise, it can help, but take care not to end up dependent on it.

I've never been really drunk, but when I'm a bit buzzed I get really hyper and energetic, but no more outgoing.

brunettebelle · Answer

I haven't been like that, in fact I am quiet but I have seen other shy and introverted people open up after they have had a few.

Dimonik · Answer

It usually depends on my mood how much I let myself go. ;d

JustChris · Answer

I guess because it happened to me when I was drunk so it does for me at least.

Scorpi · Answer

It happens for me, yes. So I'm assuming it happens to most.

Anonymous · Answer

For me, yes.  I'm pretty outgoing now, as a matter of fact.

PAKMANN29 · Answer

It can vary from person to person.  The mood your in before getting drunk can also depend on your demeanor as well.
