How does alcohol make you feel? I'm sleepy šŸ˜“

When anything short of drunk it makes me want more. Not sure about sleepy.
Somehow I can feel more focused when drinking too.

Good. Numb. Respite from my daily anxiety. That's why it's so addictive, it helps when nothing else does. It's unfortunate that it's so bad for you in many other ways. My grandad (a recovered alcoholic) has a saying that his grandmother used to say: "If you can't drink sensibly, don't drink at all", and that's good advice.

It enhances some of my moods and it eases some struggling emotions. But eventually I get tired too.

I think it tends to multiply my current mood - which is normally either happy, flirty, giggly as I only drink when I'm in a good mood.

Oh man... alcohol .... I start by feeling super happy and buzzed. Then it my shyness goes away and I become very social. Then come the truly thought out compliments for everyone. After that, I may begin to repeat myself constantly... then... autopilot time! During autopilot time, I function normally, but will have no memory of it the next day. Lastly, I fall asleep (or pass out) and wake up a few hours later like nothing happened.
