nights out

ive noticed that whenever i drink, i always get super affectionate with whoever im around, hugging and saying that i love them. im normally more reserved in that way, although still chatty. it doesnt really bother me, but my friends have pointed it out. does anyone else get this?

Hello Camari3mber!
I will give you a chemist's explanation for your behaviour that is not at all strange.
The alcohol contained in any beverage, aka ethanol, has an effect on the human body. Initially, it can induce a state of euphoria and disinhibition, due to its ability to increase the release of dopamine in the brain. This explains why many people feel more cheerful and sociable after drinking.
Note: When your friends comment on your affectionate behaviour when you are a little tipsy, you can now give them a reliable answer. Want some unbiased advice? Avoid drinking too much alcohol.🍼

Bye,
Sandro
