Being as alcohol is a depressant...(but not for me!)

Poll question: Being as alcohol is a depressant...(but not for me!)

Why is it when I drink I get HYPER AS FUCK?? :crazy:

Ok, in fairness I'm ate the fuck up with the ADD, and as such can do a line of coke and need a nap...but seriously!


I know I ain't the only one...so which are you?

1. don't drink much or often, mostly I just get a little silly and sleepy

no more than that.


I suffer from depression so really have to control that aspect of social life.

Simple glass of wine on occasion is about it for me

2. some parts of your central nervous system...

...suppress other parts of your CNS, keeping activity centers under control, so to speak. Alcohol depresses those parts too, which lets the reins loose, at least for a while.

Did you really want a rational explanation, or just a WOOOHOOO, FUCKIN' AYE!? :evilgrin:

4. Glucose.

Alcohol releases glucose into the bloodstream, makes your brain happy. If you get hyper from ice cream and candy bars, that's probably why alcohol makes you hyper too. At least that's how I react to alcohol, ice cream, and candy bars. (Don't EVER mix these three.)

You could just be weird though. :)
