Does anyone else feel like drinking brings out the “real” you?

For me, drinking has always taken the edge off.

I’m naturally an anxious person, but drinking makes me feel somewhat normal. I feel carefree, funny, extremely socially.. etc.

On the other hand, if I’m sad or anxiousness, then it brings out more raw emotions.

I genuinely feel like these emotions are feelings that I suppress when I’m sober.

Does anyone else feel like this?
