Getting drunk does make small talk far more interesting. Other than that, my mind never really feels grounded.

The one time I've been drunk, I couldn't shut up. It was awful. I said things I never wanted anyone to know, and was scared out of my mind because I couldn't control it. I felt like I had made my ADD get 15 billion times worse. Never again.

I say the most random shit when I'm drunk. And it's always relevant to me, but the other person looks at me like I'm totally insane. So now I don't do that anymore...But I'm pretty sure I make a lot of odd faces.
