So last night I had my first drink in two years…. a bloody marry. 
Frankly I really liked the bloody marry, but needless to say due to my infrequency of drinking I got really, really drunk. When I get drunk I apparently loose what little bit of mind between mouth filter I have, meaning I just say whatever I want to say irregardless of the social acceptability of what I’m saying. This is a common trait amongst people with Aspergers when they do not drink and I’ve really had to train myself to think before I speak. Drinking got rid of the think step.
So I’m really wondering about people with Aspergers drinking. What do you like to drink and when you get drunk how does it affect your behavior? Also do you usually drink alone or with friends?

I have the tendency to babble, regardless the situaction. I’m not usually even really talking to anybody. More of thinking outloud, alot, at a rapid pace, and scaring the people around me! lol!
That being said, achohol does loosen lips! I indulge in one glass of red wine at night to help with my legs disorder (spasms), and once a month I go out to Harlow’s, a local very small bar where I and my guy know everyone there, to catch a band and to have some drinks.
I am partial to my Long Island Ice Tea!
It allows me to let my hair down, and most of the time, I never allow that to happen in my regular state of mind. Everything is guarded, even the babble!! I have only been truly drunk once, after my dad’s funeral. I did shots after six beers and two glasses of wine.
I NEVER DID THAT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do get tipsy, but that’s where I stop. But I feel there is nothing wrong with cutting loose with one’s favorite drink once and a while.
i actually had too much too drink tonight but boy i can sure type like no other. don’ t know is i have aspergers or not. Probably do. I fail every single aspie test i take. or pass whatever the term is. they all say i have aspergers. oh well too bad there arn’t tests for nonsupportavive familys. like workaholics or immoral people or people who criticise you constantly ha! maybe they should see a councler for being abnormal. oh well probably got a fever from the vaccines. who could’ve nown. at least i don’t have mmr or whatever. i know i don’t have polio : ) i almost never drink. tonight seemed like an arbitary special occasion. Wow i don’t feel to hot or too colld. noises don’t bother me. i actually haf to focus on the sounds to even notivce them. quite different from having to make the extra effort to filter it out. i can think somewhat more clear and less clear at the same time. too bad i feel light headed. ever notice how people use the letter ‘i’ all the time reffering to themselfs kind i kind of think it i s irriating : ) oh well. i can be mildly narccistic if i want its not like i’ll get a virus for being arrogant. That only happpens if i vist inappropiate sites. which i’lll nevr do again by the way. that stuff is nasty lingures in your concience for too long. i hop e real relationships are more about the love people have for each other. that stuff is not meant to be viewed by a third partie. i ormally hate the taste of alchole. this stuff was more lime than anything oh well now i’m high as a kite or whatever. feel lightheaded and slightly humorous. i hate feeeling this way. try not to drink again too easy to get addicated. thank good ness alchole does not taste good to me
I drink regularly, and I’m as aspie. Miller Lite when I drink beer, but I prefer vodka straight or with a Monster. It’s really the only way I can socialize with people who aren’t already close friends. It definitely helps with talking to girls, or at least, being able to talk a little bit when they approach me. Drinking does actually filter out most of the anxieties, and for me it works better than any anti-anxiety meds I’ve tried. As the drunk non driver commented, it sort of does help you think more clearly but obviously less clearly at the same time. The hard part is trying not to completely rely on it to socialize.
I have had 3 shots of vodka (mixed in cranberry juice) and I am feeling good. I don’t need to drink more than that. I keep having to hit the back space button just to type this. I am what is called a “cheep date.” However, when I drink I am not talkative unless you talk to me first. I am more laid back and pretty damn happy. Also, I only cuss when I drink. Nothing can piss me off when I drink. Just a few seconds ago, I got an email about some conspiracy nut calling me a brain dead sheep. Typically, I would be pissed, but right now, I don’t give a shit. My filter does shut off, but you have to talk to me first to hear some off the wall comment.
