Quote:

Alcohol sometimes brings forth new facets in people. But not everyone then changes equally strongly. Researchers found now four types of drunks. Three are harmless, one making problems.

The first type, and with 40 percent of the most common is "Hemingway". Much like the great Ernest he can drink and still remain himself. This type is quite drunk, but his personality changed not very strong.

The second type is with 14.5 percent "Mary Poppins". This type is already sober always friendly and is in a drunken state more charming - and open. These are those who embrace all at the end of the party and tell them how much they like them.

The third type, which accounts for 22.5 percent, called "mad professor". It is in everyday life shy and introverted, but the wild party animals and show dancers when he drinks.

The fourth type, fell to around 20 percent of the participants, the researchers "Mr. Hyde", named after the dark side of Dr. Jekyll. It changes dramatically when alcohol flows through his body, is particularly careless, hostile and tempered or excessively whiny up to inconsolable.

This fourth type was the one who often gets into trouble when he drinks: blackouts, fights and problems with the police were often given here. Who changed a lot when he drinks, so is a risk candidate, the investigators conclude. What particularly surprised: Two-thirds of Mr. Hydes were women.

Personal I have seen them all and nothing is more trouble then the fourth type. I have my issues with type two to some degree. Drunk women in general are bad but when they start to make trouble, scream and get aggressive it becomes real pain. Personal I'm kind of Type 1. What are your types? I also think you can change but not sure. In my 20s I was a why more aggressive when drunk. Maybe it was the general higher aggression in that younger age or the alcohol. Now I'm a way more calm, also sober so I don't think it was alcohol related but of course alcohol did not make it better.

Interesting find.

I'm a Mary Poppins drunkard. Hilariously on point in fact.

I've mostly seen Hemingways and Mad Professors among my friends. Agree with the perception that many girls blitz out when they drink. Estrogen + alcohol = lethal cocktail.

[BortimusPrime]

I'm more sociable when drunk, but not to the point of grabbing the nearest person and slobbering, "Shyaa knowut Bill? Yoush're my besht friend ever!" so I'd say I'm the Hemingway.

My guess is Northern Europeans tend to be either Hemingways or Angry drunks.

[Serious Sam]

Personally, I'm mostly number one, but have shown some Hyde traits back when I got blotto drunk in my college days (not every night, but every now and then he'd rear his ugly head). I don't drink like that anymore, so Mr. Hyde has given away in favor of Mr. Hemingway. The Hemingway in me actually saved my ass from a DUI one night several years ago. I went out drinking with some coworkers after work one night, drank several beers and took a few shots, and decided it was a good idea to drive home.

Just a few minutes from my house, I turned down a side road to avoid the main highway up ahead (where the cops were regularly stopping drunk drivers due to nearby bars). Once I turned the corner, BAM!!! DUI checkpoint. My heart sank. I knew I was fucked. But I sacked up, took a deep breath, barely cracked my window so the cop couldn't smell my breath, and looked at him using my peripheries so he couldn't see my bloodshot eyes. He asked where I was coming from. My answer was work. He asked where I was headed. I told him my house a couple miles up the road. Then he told me to have a good night. He didn't even ask if I had been drinking. Somehow I didn't slur my speech or appear drunk even though I was three sheets to the wind. The good news is, that night taught me a valuable lesson without having to learn the hard way.

I's somewhere between 1 and 2. Type fours end up losing friends and jobs. Family members can't even stand to be around them.

[spokepoker]

I'm mad professor.

[Latan]

Type 1.
I thought it was rare to stay almost exactly the same mentally, when drunk.
I'm not a special snowflake after all.

[Pornopung]

I'm the mad professor. Natural introvert, low self esteem when I was young, but turning into a super social party animal when I drink.

All of my early conquests with women and most friends I didn't meet through school/work was thanks to alcohol.

However I have somewhat progressed towards Hemingway over the years as I am now much less introvert while sober and less affected by the booze. But I'm still safely placed in the mad professor category.

Extensive solo travelling, befriending random people all over the world and dating loads of chicks have made wonders.

It's probably why I'm a fan of alcohol and not weed, I'm naturally a very laid back person who don't worry about things. No need for weed to relax.

[Matsufubu]

Beer makes me type 1

Wine OR spirits make me type 2

Mixing any of the three makes me type 3

Absolutely hate type 4s, and have never been one. I think alcohol shows the real you, and a lot of people have demons.

[el mechanico]

I told you guys years ago watch and you have a short widow to pull successful. The Hyde type is maybe 30 minutes from go to kicking the window out of the taxi.

[Mikan]

Us type 1s have to be careful. Because we can "handle our liquor" so well, we tend to drink a much higher volume of alcohol then our 2-4 peers and shoot our livers faster and consume more calories. Most the hard core drunks I have known that have health problems from a lifetime of drinking are type 1s. My mother is one too. She could be sitting quietly watching soap operas with enough vodka in her to drop a college football player. In many ways, its way too easy for us. We never get arrested or fired. We don't do embarrassing shit that we regret later; we just keep drinking, and drinking. We're the ones drinking on the porch at 7am when everyone else passed out at 4.

[Snowplow]

Is it possible to show all four. My state of mind before I drink is tied to what kind of drunk I become.

[Walker]

None of these describes me. I'm a depressed, super quiet and introverted drunk who doesn't display the aggression of a type 4.

Wouldn't that be "the nutty professor"?

[Mage]

In my youth I was mad professor - a shy teenager who had to drink to open up and socialize and get girls.

After learning and internalizing game and unlocking my dormant dominant male powers I became very social and witty even when sober so I became Hemingway.

This is one reason why I don't drink anymore - my personality doesn't change so drinking is useless, it would be just diminishing health for no real gain, so I live in near complete abstinence for many years now save for a symbolic glass of wine in important events like weddings and funerals. Game saved me from drinking.

[malakaix]

These seem like stages to me that people move between over time or stay as one.

I would think I started at Type 3 in my teenage years and moved towards Type 2 in my early twenties. I'm most definitely Type 1 now in my late twenties. I do see people my age and older that still represent the other types which makes me think they will probably always be like that with alcohol.

I think it depends a lot on the mindset you go into drinking with, as mentioned above.

Ran into a number 4 about an hour ago. Or actually he walked up to my table at my favorite coffee shop and started F'youing me out of the blue.
In the end I was able to convince him it would be in his best interest, for health reasons of course to refrain from any further out burst and to apologize to everyone enjoying their evening. He took my advice. I must be getting old.

Is This the glorious return of the Little Dark? Was this drunken buffon accompanied by 29 of his friends?

Nope. Just a lone drunk baffoon looking for attention I guess. Mental illness maybe.

[ivansirko]

There are only 4?

[Comte De St. Germain]

If I haven't told how much I love everyone in a 50 foot radius, then I'm clearly not drunk enough. So strong Type 2.

[Kid Twist]

Little dark or "lil' sweet" from the Dr. Pepper commercials?
