Comments on: “Drunk Actions make for Sober Thoughts.” ~ #1 http://theeriver.wordpress.com/2009/07/08/drunk-actions-make-for-sober-thoughts-1/ My Insanity, Our World Fri, 04 Dec 2009 23:44:50 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Melisa http://theeriver.wordpress.com/2009/07/08/drunk-actions-make-for-sober-thoughts-1/#comment-2278 Melisa Tue, 20 Oct 2009 00:36:11 +0000 http://theeriver.wordpress.com/?p=1128#comment-2278 I took a totally different meaning to it. To me it means that however you act, and for me it is usually like a fool, will make you actually dig deep the next day and realize that you acted that particular for a reason. It is probably a dark place you dont like to visit when you are sober. When you wake up hungover the next day and you start putting pieces together and you start regreting everything thats is probably the only time you will be honest with yourself and realize that it is an issue and that you are hurting people left and right and that you are going to end up alone because its that bad. you are going to become the person that everyone avoids at parties or gatherings.

Mike is totally right. (god that killed me to type that) I'm not saying that every stupid thing I do when I'm drunk is a sober thought for me, but most things are. For instance, I can also get mean sometimes when I drink. Not to everyone, but mostly to someone who has pissed me off at some point and for whatever reason I've kept it bottled up. Get a few glasses of Merlot in me and all shit hits the fan. I have no problem telling someone how I feel about them, their mother and their dog. (notice, you don't see me drinking Merlot very often :) ) Also the curious behavior kicks in more. If I have a guy friend that at some point I've been curious about while sober, even if it's been for a 1/2 of a second, a few drinks makes it seem ok to make out with him, or ask him questions I would never in a million years ask. I know for a fact that it works the same with you. There have been times that you've opened up to me about a woman you are interested in when you are sober, but you never let her or anyone else know about it until you are hammered.

When you are drunk, the part of the brain that tells controls your rational actions is not functioning properly. To clarify, when you are drunk, you might say or do something that you wouldn't otherwise say or do had you been sober. So, when you are drunk, you are more exposed in a way. So girl says, "Does this dress make me look fat?" Sober you probably lies or sugar coats it. Drunk you bluntly answers and possibly offends. In a way, your drunk behavior says more about your character than your sober one. To me, that makes for sobering thoughts. If I were to guess at the meaning of that phrase, I see it like this.
