This isn't a addicted to alcohol question, but this is the only alcohol section I could find. Just a quick one...When you're drunk do your true feelings come out? I'm talkin drunk, not just tipsy, but not passed out...Thanks!

Hi Shaun,

Yes, most of the time beyond a few drinks, ETOH (alcohol) affects your brain receptors and your actual repressed feelings come out. In your next question I shall answer what repressed feelings are!!

God bless,

yea what are repressed feelings... The situation is that me and my g/f broke up. I like her a lot and saturday night she had a huge family party and was pretty drunk. She started sendin me texts saying she misses my kiss then it got to her calling me. She said she misses me(Cuz I waqs wish her earlier) So I snuck out about 1:30 in the mornin cuz I didn't want her drivin to pick me up. I went over there and we made out. Now she's back to "we shouldn't have doen that" Her friends say she's like i'm fine without him when she's straight, but when she was drunk she was like I gotta call him and I miss him and stuff...Is the drunk roll the more true route or the more true to feelings she might be hiding?Thanks!

Hi Shaun,

Repressed feelings are feelings which one does not want it to come back and it gets stored in your unconscious mind and comes out most of the time when one is drunk.  But for an alcoholic most feelings which come out when drunk (I repeat for alcoholics and not social drinkers), these feelings are part of the addictive personality and not part of the normal person that they are.  Now I do not know if your girlfriend is an alcoholic or not.  If she is not (which I hope she is not), then she really likes you.

Thanks...yea she definitely isn't an alcoholic or at least being drunk maybe once a month or every other month is about what she does...in her sober personality she tells all her friends she's fine without me and our relationship has been on and off for the past two years. She's having another party in about 3 weeks and i'm going. Should I play around with this if she is drunk? I'll be ok though I don't like drinking. Should I play around with her and how she's acting and pull things out of her?Thanks!


Answer
Dear Shaun,

At the outset, I am so very glad that you do not like drinking.  Let me tell you that an alcoholic is just away from one drink.  You never know who an alcoholic is till it hits you one fine summer/sunny day.  I really cannot counsel you on your relationship but do remain sober and play along, like a gentleman (I am sure you are !) does....

Regards
