I read an article recently where they are doing a study on how alcohol affects the brain. What they have learned is that when someone is under the influence their "true" character comes out because alcohol slows down the frontal executive part of the brain that we use to make decisions with.

So what happened when you drank is it allowed that vulnerable part to come out in you and you ended up getting picked on. That's awful but the positive is that because of that you will not use alcohol as a crutch or coping mechanism.

The individuals that are MEAN drunks tend to start out relaxed but end up getting meaner the more they consume. This lets out that deep angry part that a person tries to control when they are sober. This mean and even abusive part that comes out with alcohol use often acts out on anger and articulates the individuals true intensions like a desire to get rid of someone and take over their position. These individuals act out their deep resentments and anger which someone they are relating to can be victimized by.

The key is how alcohol affects the frontal lobe that typically controls that deep inner personality of an individual. What is scary is when a person drinks to the point of blackout which their frontal lobe is severely incapacitated and they can get VERY mean and out of control.

I asked you that question because I wondered if you don't drink because you don't like being sensitive. Your answer proved what I had thought.
