I don't drink anymore, but when I did I would get more witty and talkative until about 6 drinks in at which point I would just become obnoxious and weird. Then I would get upset that everyone didn't think I was absolutely amazing and get self conscious and angry. Then I'd go home and drink more by myself until I blacked out.

So quirky!

Oh you're a nice person.

The only "drunken quirk" so to speak is that when I am drunk I'm very aware of that and that I will go above and beyond not to appear drunk. That's it. It's not as wholesome as your story ofc.

My eyes blink at different intervals like some Thom Yorke motherfucker.

I will also say more stupid shit.

Edit - added more. I already say stupid shit.

I become an engineering genius . I mean i'm no slouch normally but i will start fixing things for people - and properly

I talk a lot when I'm drunk. I over-explain and over-share like crazy. My 10-year old also does this on a regular basis.

On an unrelated note, I seem to be missing a bottle of vodka. If anyone sees it, please let me know.

Yeah, I don't drink because I'm a seriously happy drunk in a far too gregarious way. It gives off the wrong impression to people, and I can't back it up with my sober personality. It usually leads to regrets, and I sort of despise overly familiar people in my daily life. I also get adventurous with vehicles and go on side quests in a Hangover movie way that scares me and causes problems. Never again.

I become highly suggestive. Up for cocktails later? I'm down. Ask me to buy a pitcher for the table? Consider it done. Start playing the MetalGearSolid theme? I will crawl under tables and hide in cardboard boxes, later ambushing you in the gents where I will punch, kick, and choke you from behind until you climax.

Not quite the same sort of thing, but I have an annoying tendency to forget I'm wearing glasses and headbang them off. Had to start wearing contacts instead.

I have the most embarrassing quirk when I drink. I get super emotional and start giving out hugs to people I would never hug sober.

I've known two people who are extremely quiet and shy sober but become loud, social, and "larger than life" when they drink. Like a massive personality change.

Always wondered whether their drunk selves were closer to their "true" selves, but they suppress it in daily life?

My wife can tell I'm drunk because I start repeating everything I hear. For example, I'll be watching a sports game and just be repeating everything the announcers say in a very excited tone.

I lose all filters and chaos mode engages. If I see a button I push it, if something takes one little nudge for it to fall over I nudge it, pranks, fire, just any kind of chaos you can think of. It’s especially prevalent if I’m drinking Jager.

Yes, I would drink even more until I physically couldn't anymore. Very quirky.

When I get drunk, I constantly evaluate how drunk I am and accounce it to everyone around me. You'll see me stand up to do something, sway a little too much and then declare "okay, I'm at, like, a four." If I notice I'm getting a little too smashed, I'll try and slow down or eat some bread or just generally try to take care of myself. Still having fun, though.

That neighbor being in that situation at 40 sounds miserable - at least they were able to find some happiness thanks to you though 👌.

Pretty valid concern there about someone possibly making a bad decision based from advice when drunk... seems risky depending on where the other individual is/feels regarding life

When I'm drunk I ask stupid questions and that's it really 😂 things I usually keep to myself are all asked without any care in the world. Almost like the filter is removed

I am like a homing pigeon. I might not know where I am or how I got there but I can sure as hell navigate a city well enough to get home safely.

Mine was that I don't get hangovers pretty much at all so I never had an internal sense of "I'm going to feel like shit tomorrow if I keep going". Anyway I don't drink anymore and my body and relationships thank me.

I'm flirty, thankful and sometimes say stuff I regret the next day (usually dumb jokes). Pretty good overall.

You did a good thing! alcohol can lower the shields for good or ill. Sometimes it can allow the facade we all carry about different aspects of our perceived selves to fall away and we can truly see what we need to do.

My poor wife if she gets too drunk just cries and cries. She has had such terrible loss in her family her entire life and when she drinks way too much she just sobs almost uncontrollably. It's terrible. Because she remembers her brother, her dad, her grandpa, all gone tragically. She hasnt done that in a few years because we are getting older and drunk stupidly less but it was a thing for awhile.

Alcohol is weird man.

I get louder, and I lose much of my profanity filter. Which people used to think wasn't possible. But that's it.

I can't remember

I'm the apologetic drunk. I am SO sorry to everyone. Usually apologizing for being drunk or just my existence in general. Also, before I get to that point, I usually test to see if I feel (or don't feel?) my teeth.

Depends on what I’m drinking.

Champagne? I’m an obnoxious asshole but but god do I love mimosas. They just taste so fucking good that I don’t even notice how many I’ve had. They’re like fucking candy or chips that I can’t stop shoving into my mouth.

Wine? Sad and start crying…the irritating sob story kind.

Rum/Vodka? Loud, happy, chatty, everyone’s BFF.

Tequila? Can go a few different ways.

I don’t drink beer or do shots though, so idk about those.

I liked to text my coworkers pictures of my cats.

It got to be a bit much, and started to be referred to as me getting drunk and sending pussy pics.

I haven't sent one in months :( kind of miss it lol

1. My accent changes to mixed Manc-Derbyshire.
2. I become camp.

Once I get a few in me, even if i feel super drunk I just want to continue drinking. We might be out with friends getting hammered, and when its time to go I just want to go elsewhere to continue drinking

I'm a very quiet drunk. I kinda just sit there and think about absolutely nothing- drowning and zoning out literally everything around me lol. Hard to have a conversation or even have any kinda fun with me when I'm drunk cuz I'll just kinda become a vegetable.

Oh man. I love to be tinkering in my workshop on whatever project I got going, listening to music, singing to myself and hitting some fresh ganja. THEN, and the wife's favorite part... I get to cooking a kickass dinner. I only like to drink a light beer and starting in the afternoon. By 5pm, I'm 4-6 deep, big time stoned and chef Emerald is in the house baby! I stick to water after that because if I go to bed all drinky, I'll feel like shit the following day. I dont like listening to other drunks or their shitty ass music when I'm feeling the vibe so i almost exclusively drink when I'm having me time/alone, able to tune my system up/wife not home yet and its sunny outside. That is a perfect day for me. It doesn't happen often but when it does... man I really enjoy it.

I used to have a major problem with alcohol in my 20's and it caused me untold damage. I quit partying for a good number of years to get my shit together and regroup. Now, I can actually enjoy it without going way overboard and making choices and actions that severely negatively impact my existance, it's an entirely different thing for me now. Moderation and a little bit of discipline did me a world of good.

I have a similar quirk to you, though it's usually more being a therapist aligned.

Oh, and many accents creep into my voice from the great many I can do
