How do you feel when you get drunk? (self.Blind)
submitted by Alex_Wallet
I'm not blind but sometimes I am asking myself how do blind people feel the environment. I have a theory:it looks like when I trying to see in very dark room where light less. Does it look on truth? And I'mreally interested in how are blind people getting drunk. That question doesn't give me sleep.

Blind and currently drunk. What do you want to know?

I'm chugging water and it's 2am. Feel the same as when I was sighted and drunk.

There's a lot of different kinds of blindness and only some of them result in us "trying to see in very dark room where light less" as you said.

Happy to answer any questions you have now or, if I fall asleep, when I wake up. Cheers!

Blind and wish I was drunk but I have to do work. You have my envy.

I did. I recommend Goose Island IPA.

Just about any IPA is good. I have an IPA called Elvis Juice right now.

Wow, I interested. I'm guessing you was not blinded all life. How strong changed your life after getting blindness? I have a lot of different friends but I didn't meet any blinded man, yeah I have friends with bad sight but it isn't same. You said about type of blindness what does it look/feel I don't know how to say.What type of blindness you have?

It was gradual and I had time to adapt. Some things I had to accept never doing, like driving, but anything I can't do, just means I have to be creative and problem solve and find another way.

Some people are completely blind, cannot even see light. One of my eyes is like that. The other has a different problem. There are so many conditions, you might consider looking up different kinds of blindness or definitions for blindness online to get a better idea. There are even some pictures simulating what a person with different conditions can see, which might give you a better idea.

>The one time I got drunk I felt too dizzy to stay upright and watched TV from the floor for a few hours. I think I was also blinder than usual, maybe because my brain wasn't putting as much effort into patching up my spotty vision.

Thanks for your answer, now I can to go sleep

How I'm getting drunk? Probably Four Roses Single Barrel.

What am I like? I get a little dizzy. I get a little loud. I make a lot of jokes. I point a lot.

It doesn't affect my vision at all. Maybe it would if I kept going, but I don't get totally hammered.

I tend to bump into walls and corners a bit more. Other than that, Just imagine me as a gigglier, queer-joke-cracking, version of drunk Tali Zora from Mass Effect, and that's drunk me.

I can't imagine it is any different from a drunk sighted person keeping their eyes closed or wearing a eye mask.

I got so drunk one time last year I could barely talk and walking was like almost on air. I don't know how to describe it really.
Winnmark 1 points 3y ago
Got real cross-faded once. Couldn't walk straight.

It was fun, don't do it.

Are you in interested how blind people get drunk or what they do when they’re drunk?
Alex_Wallet [OP] 1 points 3y ago
what people do when they're drunk I know but I feel that feeling of drunk blind people and sight people are different and cannot understand how much different

Being drunk doesn't do much to me at all. I can't get stoned though it completely messes with my spacial orientation. I once got lost in my own galley kitchen.
Alex_Wallet [OP] 1 points 3y ago
Your spacial orientation is about rumor, sense of touch and sense of smell (how do you call it?). Can you describe to my easy as you can how does your system of spacial orientation work? I can imagine how you lost but i cannot imagine how don't lost without sense of vision.

Only ever got drunk once and I hated it. Im more of a drugs or as i call it medicine person.

That time I did get drunk I spent all my time sick,pooping and cursing.

There is typical drunk story maybe I was wrong about my vision of drunk feelings of people with blindness
