1. I think so, in my case
Both my parents are happy drunks and so am I!:hi:

Though my parents don't really drink that much. Only on special events.

6. What do you drink when you drink?
Sometimes that is a factor in people's moods.

13. I love Natty Light from high school days!
$9 bucks for a 30 pack where I live!

Ab. Vodka isn't too bad.

So how have you behaved in the past when drunk?

14. Ive never been drunk
Yes, thats why my dad bought it, it was cheap. I really have never been drunk, the closest I was to being drunk, I remember being kind of friendly and happy, god it was embarassing, it was bad but I remember being really friendly to a cop.

16. Well, when the time comes and you want to get drunk
My advice is to surround yourself with friends, who you can trust and they will be willing to deal with you if you become "too drunk"-like puking or acting crzy.


I am not advising you to go out and get drunk since you are underage but the only way you will know how you will behave is if you actually get drunk.

I've been a crzy drunk (mean) at times but for the most part I'm happy happy!


When I do get mean, is when I get pissed off at people I'm with or b/c of the situation I am in.

5. Both my folks are happy drunks, when they get drunk.
I am, too, so I guess the answer is 'yes'.

:)

8. Damn
I dont wanna be a mean drunk, then again I saw my dad as happy but condescending drunk a while back, maybe its he only gets to be mad drunk because something around him pisses him off.

10. I'm going to be very dull here and suggest something
If you even sometimes consider that you might drink too much you probably do and it's likely that you are an alcoholic. Pay attention sooner rather than later and save yourself years of grief and poor health and despair.

I speak from hard-earned experience as one who was given this advice twenty years before I got around to following it.

12. Oh I drink less than most people my age
I don't smoke either. Thanks for the advice though. I meant by drunkeness when you get drunk.

19. So true....
thank you. Though I fear chemical mood altering drugs more. I swear, the pharmas want to control our addictions?

15. My dad was a very mean drunk.
I don't remember what kind of drunk my mom was as I have not seen her drunk in many years. Her general demeanor is optimistic so I assume she would be a happy drunk.

I have never been drunk so I don't know what kind I would be.
