          Yeah, I took some drugs and they amplified who I really am 🤣

          I had bad things happen during past few days, they just amplified my real me.

          I mean, it is really well understood that chemical reactions in human body just amplify our real personality and do not affect anything else, right? Haha, Lemmy can be really comedic sometimes…

      People that say this either don’t understand alcohol or haven’t been around it much.

      Edit: I cannot believe that people need clarification of this is 2024. Alcohol modifies someone’s personality through its effects. If you’ve ever heard of a happy or angry drunk, that’s why. It can cause mood swings in people, increased aggression, and at the same time makes them act irrationally. That isn’t the “real person” underneath. The part of you that alcohol takes away is part of you.

      And when you take away the ability to reason and make good decisions, you say all sorts of stupid things you don’t mean. That isn’t the real you. A drunk person will mostly just be telling you their impulsive subconscious thoughts that they aren’t in control of at all. That’s not a real person at that point.

          Yeah I was going to say the same thing, I used to drink a lot and I never did anything drunk that I didn’t want to do sober. The drinking just impairs judgement and how much you care about consequences in the moment.

        What are you talking about? Alcohols ability to lower inhibitions is well known and studied.

          And that’s exactly what makes it not the “real you”. Read my edit but someone without inhibitions isn’t telling you who they are, they’re telling you who they choose not to be using inhibitions.
