Alcohol does not alter personality, say scientists as they debunk myth of 'happy drunk'
'There is no such thing a ‘happy drunk’ scientists have concluded after finding that alcohol does not radically change personality. '
'But it is simply a louder version of their usual personality. '
'"Participants reported experiencing differences in all factors of personality, but extraversion was the only factor robustly perceived to be different across participants in alcohol and sober conditions."'
'Although many people blame drinking for alterations in their usual behaviour, new research shows that there is little shift in character between sober and squiffy. '
'In fact, the only change is that people become more extroverted. '
Sounds more like a cheap trick of playing with language. How much of a person is personality and how much is mood at that moment? Would anyone seriously argue drugs do not alter mood?

Bullshit. I am an angry asshole when not drinking. When drinking I am a happy asshole.

I read somewhere that the liver can influence anger, and this is why some alcoholics are angry drunks.

I'd say alcohol allows people to be free of inhibitions. What you see is a better picture of who they really are inside.
