i dont drink the way i once did.
i'm not that different from how i normally am...a bit more outgoing , more direct and a bit more ruthless...if we get into a debate and i'm sober, i'll often let the fact that i am basically a nice person tail off what i might say. give me a few beverages, though, and that won't happen. and apparently my sense of humor gets more baroque. i don't know why. it isnt always helpful situationally.
sometimes i can be cajoled into telling the one poem i know.
