Depends on how much I drink and the circumstances. One drink is enough to loosen my tongue and get rid of the anxiety and is enough to make me feel okay if I'm having issues. Any more than that and I can get nasty or very, very depressed as well as impulsive.
With the exception of the talking, I have the ability to act completely sober when drunk and can fool people quite easily and my memory is not impaired by extreme drinking. In fact, if I have a conversation when totally plastered, I can usually repeat it word for word the next day. I think the last two things come from my mom. She was often totally messed up while I was growing up and told myself that I'd never be like that.
