Drinking can be fun during the first few hours when the happy buzz kicks in. But things can get murky once you get past a certain threshold of inebriation.
This is usually when many people pass out or go on autopilot and do something they’ll regret the next day. The stories you’re about to read are more of the latter, where supposed merry intoxication turned unpleasant and embarrassing.
These short accounts are responses to a post by TikTok user dietcokegirl222. She asked for the worst thing people do while they are drunk. According to her, she did this to feel better about herself.
Read through this list and see if you’ve been in any of these sticky situations.
Many see alcohol as a truth serum that helps them bring out their “real” selves. This isn’t the case, according to licensed therapist Jennifer Worley.
“The behaviors and emotions exhibited while intoxicated are just a part of a person’s broad spectrum of feelings and reactions,” she told Healthline. “They don’t necessarily represent their core character or values.”
In terms of peeling back the layers of one’s personality, drunkenness is more of a revelation and characterization of what’s happening internally.
“While it is difficult to conclusively say that someone is more real when under the influence, it is safe to say that what you see is a more accurate portrayal of what is going on inside of that person,” family and marriage therapist Dr. Joel Touchet said.
Alcohol abuse is known to affect one’s physical health in a myriad of ways. But as Worley revealed, it can also cause lasting behavioral and cognitive changes.
“Over time, these changes can contribute to personality shifts, especially if the brain damage is significant,” she explained. “Moreover, long-term alcohol misuse can exacerbate or lead to mental health disorders, which can further influence personality.”
Some people become aggressive after a few glasses of their favorite whiskey. Worley explains that such reactions are likely due to alcohol’s effect on the prefrontal cortex, the brain region responsible for regulating thoughts, emotions, and behavior.
She also points out that alcohol can amplify existing feelings of anger, stress, and anxiety, which can make some drinkers act belligerently.
Moderate consumption is encouraged among those who enjoy the occasional drink. The National Library of Medicine defines it as a maximum of one beverage per day for women and a cap of two drinks for men.
In terms of measurements, one drink is equivalent to one bottle of beer, a glass of wine, or a shot of liquor.
