"It’s not happy hour for everyone.

Plastered people transform into one of four personality types: giggly drunks, angry drunks, extroverted drunks and sober-acting drunks, according to groundbreaking research from the University of Missouri. To determine who fell into each category, the researchers asked 374 men and women to sober up and take a survey based on their drinking personalities. They also asked a friend of each participant to take the survey to make sure the subjects weren’t deluding themselves."

Definitely Mary Poppins, I'm a super happy drunk.  "I LOVE YOU MAN!"

I'm a CHEAP drunk, so none of the above. ..Willy.

No doubt about it, I'm another Mary.  (As I type this, 2 McDonalds employees are making out during their break in the booth next to me, they look like high school seniors).

Sober I'm a quiet person but if I get actually drunk chances are I am not engaging in any conversation at all, just want to spend more time with my own thoughts. Can't say I've gotten drunk in a few years and that last time was playing beer pong with rum... Since then I've learned moderation and how to taste spirits, so I'm happy drinking for flavor not intoxication.

It's been quite a few years since I was last, ahem, "under the weather".  I'm a Hemingway.  Alcohol doesn't make me either happy or extroverted, it just makes me uncoordinated and poorer.  Which is why I don't drink anymore.

My paternal grandfather was a mean drunk, a real temper.  My father rarely drank, possibly because of this.

I'm the kind that makes the perfect designated driver because I throw up long before I get to find out. People are seldom amused.

I haven't been even 'tipsy' in decades.  But I was more a "Hemmingway" type.  Left alone I would eventually fall asleep.  I would lose what little tact I posses though.

I'm sort of the nutty professor type. I'm the guy who says, "Bubba, hold my beer and watch this!"

Here's a story to illustrate. Many, many years ago, I was putting up Christmas lights outside to prepare for a Christmas party. Needless to say I had consumed my share of "Holiday Cheer" (and maybe a little of yours too.) After the lights were plugged in I noticed that a few remained unlit. Thinking (a bad thing to attempt when inebriated), "I wonder if the socket is bad or it's the bulb?" I climbed the ladder, unscrewed an unlit bulb, licked my finger and promptly inserted it into the socket.

Luckily it had rained the night before and the ground was fairly soft. They tell me I wasn't out for long, but of course I don't remember the flight or the impact. However I do remember learning that attempting to draw air into collapsed lungs makes one sound like a honking goose. After what seemed like an eternity (but what was probably less than a minute) I caught my breath. A fast learner, the first words I was able to choke out was, "I won't do that again" (meaning the self-electrocution part, not the drinking part). Come to think of it, maybe I'm not that fast a learner after all. Luckily I survived the incident with the only major injury to my pride. At least by buddy didn't spill my beer!

I'm an absent minded professor when sober. So it seems fitting that I am the nutty professor while intoxicated.

For the longest time nobody would believe me when I said different drinks made me feel different kinds of drunk. Everyone said that's a myth, alcohol is alcohol, blah blah blah. As I got older I found out why, allergies to grain based alcohol started becoming pronounced and showing up in the form of flu like symptoms and constant sneezing, so now I mostly only drink wine. My drunk was never pleasant on grain based alcohol (beer, most liquors) but always better on wine. So now I just stick to wine.

I don't think I change that much while drunk, just way more outgoing and friendly.

When I worked in Corporate business the HR Director made all the new hires sit through this movie in the orientation.   We were told or "forewarned" about the employees we would be meeting and the parties
some of them would be inviting us to in the various departments we would work in. 

Sales & Engineering seemed to be the worst....and I was working between both departments.

Chris...I still have tears rolling from laughing so hard at your Christmas light story.

I'm sort of a cross between Poppins and the professor at times, tho Margie says she usually can't tell I've been drinking. I think it depends on the setting/group.
I'm just glad I have never fallen into the mean drunk category.

One of my neibors said something to me recently :

Quote "I didn't know you were a drinker until one day when I saw you sober".
