I make them nervous. :evilgrin:

Why? Are you PWD?

On edit: I TOTALLY misread the OP! I thought it said "Does being drunk around people make you nervous?" Sorry, I haven't had enough caffeine today.
:rofl:

3. All drunk people?
No. Some drunk people? Sure.

I think if someone has had a bad experience with a drunk, like living with an abusive drunk, they're likely to feel uncomfortable around people who are.

I hope you're okay. :hug:

17. Some people's personality changes when they drink.
Those people scare me. My mom was one of them.
She was very sweet sober and mean as a snake drunk.
And she was drunk a lot.

If you have a person like that in your life, you may need to get some support/help. Al-Anon
helped me a lot. If the person is violent, there are helplines for that too.

For me, sometimes it's just shadows of my childhood coming back. But I can usually spot
problem cases pretty quick too and get out of the situation.

Take care. :hug:

21. Not really. Most people I encounter who are drunk are
at a party, so not really. :shrug:

I don't know any particularly violent people, either.

22. depends on the drunk person and how they handle themselves.
While I think most are jovial and silly, I've known a couple that as they drank more went from funny/silly to serious to verbally abusive and even physically aggressive. Those two made me very nervous.
