By this point, you’ve probably got a pretty good handle on your drunk personality. If you’re me, you get extra judgy, spill secret gossip, and throw humorous (at least, in my opinion) insults at my tablemates for laughs. Obviously, it’s a much more extreme version of myself, but thankfully I stay pretty restrained the rest of the time. Whether you’re a drunk crier, an angry drunk, or a touchy-feely drunk, we’ve always thought that our drunk personalities were somehow separate than our real selves. Unfortunately, according to a new study, everyone else thinks that how we behave while drunk is almost exactly how we behave sober, so now I have to reevaluate my entire personality.
While you can always tell when you’re starting to get drunk because your personality amplifies, a University of Missouri study showed that for everyone else, they really can’t tell the difference between drunk you and sober you. While observers noticed that those who had been drinking were more extroverted, all other personality attributes were the same. Essentially, what this means is that I’m always a judgy, secret-sharing, asshole all of the time – I just only notice it after half a bottle of wine.
If this revelation doesn’t have you shook, I’m incredibly jealous of your drunk personality. For the rest of us judgers, bar fighters, and rando-kissers, apparently, we have our work cut out for us. I guess I need to start working on my personality a lot more than the 4 hours a week I get drunk in public, which I’m honestly not that into. If this sounds like a lot of work for you, take heart – all of your closest friends have seen drunk you, and you’re still part of the crew, so at least if you suck, your best friends don’t mind that much. Now get back out there and be an asshole to the rest of the world, and why you’re at it, take a few daytime shots – it’s not like anyone’s going to notice anyway. .

If sober me is the same as drunk me, I’d like sober me to find the balls to talk to a girl that drunk me has.

Good to know that somewhere deep down, sober me is a very generous individual with no regard for his bank account.
Sober me doesn’t like you, but drunk me does.
Drunk me just talks even more than sober me. I already talk too much, I’m sure I’m a joy to be around 8 drinks deep.
I can relate. Sober Derek is quiet but drunk Derek never shuts the fuck up.
This is exactly me. Luckily my friends are used to it and just make fun of me for never shutting up.
This is exactly what I needed to read before heading out for a wedding weekend…..
Sup?
You can find me at the singles table
I mean not for much longer because drunk Okayest is one charming son of bitch.
Drunk me just talks to everyone and anyone. I always leave the bar with 100 new friends and then subsequently forget them. It’s an interesting cycle.
Same… one time I exchanged numbers with a gay man saying “We should do brunch sometime!” It got really weird when he texted me the next day asking if I still wanted to do brunch…

Black out me just pulls an irish goodbye, goes home, and falls asleep. Always have, hopefully always will. #Blessed
Jesus this isn’t good
Fuck I’m a douchebag…
You’re not cute enough to be a douchbag.
I have no trouble believing this. Sober me sings and dances a lot. Drunk me just sings louder and worse while dancing more vigorously
