While we know alcohol has a way of making us more outgoing, are we aware of how much our own personalities change when we drink?

According to a study by a team of psychologists from Missouri, we see ourselves differently when drunk to how others see us.

The study examined the behaviour of 156 participants before and after drinking, with half of the group being given alcohol and the other half given a non-alcohol drink.

Participants were questioned on what they thought their personality traits were when they were intoxicated as compared to when they were sober and according to researchers the most surprising revelation was that people’s personalities didn’t change as much as they thought.
