🥃Scientists identify 4 types of drunks🫢– which one are you?🥃
* Hemingway
These types of drunks don’t experience many personality changes or reductions in consciousness and intellect, even after consuming large amounts of alcohol. This falls in line with Hemingway’s infamous quote that he could “drink hells any amount of wh***ey without getting drunk.” These drinkers are also more reliable and organized in general, in addition to having a better understanding of abstract ideas.
* Mr. Hyde
This group of drinkers becomes more disagreeable and argumentative with each passing drink. They also reported “a tendency of being particularly less responsible, less intellectual, and more hostile when under the influence of alcohol than they are when they are sober”. Ironically, two-thirds of those who fell into the Mr. Hyde group are women. Keeping in line with this finding, the Hyde’s are the most likely group to blackout or be arrested due to their behavior while drunk.
* Nutty Professor
This predominately male group consists of normally reserved people who suddenly become more outgoing after a few glasses of “liquid courage.” The Nutty Professor group also reported a significant drop in consciousness when they were drinking.
* Mary Poppins
Much like the beloved nanny, drinkers in this mostly female group possessed a kind and gentle disposition while drinking. Even as their alcohol consumption increased, they remained friendly and cooperative. Researchers noted that these drinkers “decrease less than average in conscientiousness, intellect and agreeableness when intoxicated…[they] essentially capture the sweet, responsible drinkers who experience fewer alcohol-related problems.”
