To quote the great philosopher Homer (Simpson naturally not the Greek lad)..."To alcohol! The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems."
Yes booze has been bringing the best AND worst out in us since the person who discovered it woke up the next morning in a pterodactyl's nest wearing their loincloth as a headband.
We often bandy about what kind of effect a few jars has on our personalities but to simplify matters it seems you are one of 4 types!
Researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia have categorized drinkers into four different roles, inspired by cultural icons and film characters. You can now say you’re one of the following kinds of alcohol imbibers: “Ernest Hemingway,” “Mr. Hyde,” “Mary Poppins” or “The Nutty Professor.”
Mary Poppins
If you’re a Mary Poppins-type, that means you’re a sweet and responsible drinker. Probably the kind who would hold a friend’s hair back while they barf and not get mad if it gets on your shoes.
The Nutty Professor
If you’re a Nutty Professor, you’re the type that is more quiet and reserved when sober, but gets wild when you knock back a few scoops
Mr Hydes
Mr. Hyde types become hostile, and are thought to be the ones most likely to get arrested or experience blackouts.
Hemingways
Those whose behavior doesn’t seem to be affected much by alcohol are known as Hemingways. The researchers stated, “Two previous studies have found that, on average, these two factors reportedly decrease the most with intoxication, so the moderate decreases demonstrated by this group make its members stand out as being ‘less affected’ than drinkers in some of the other groups, much like the author Ernest Hemingway, who claimed that he could ‘drink hells any amount of whiskey without getting drunk’.
Now go on...be honest..which one are you?
