Are the things you speak while you are drunk the same things you would think (either consciosuly or subconsciously ) when you are sober with the only diffrence that you wouldnt speak those things in a sober state?

Standard issue british boozer, but not so much these days. Occasional.
Yes, it's you. Who else would it be. If there's a drastic difference you can narrow it with better behaviour in sobriety and patience for result of that.
As for what it's actually doing. This is a wild subject. Dig in if you're interested.

@Ray-Peat-Fanboy It depends on how honest you are with your "dark side".
Usually, people suppress it, because this is how we (westerners) are conditioned. Then it only shows up when someone is drunk or very agitated, etc.
But with time, one can learn how to listen to one's shadow and manage (embrace) it smartly... but it will never work for 100%...BTW, your dark side is only one part of you, there are more - you are a totality of them... but this is all a metaphor, not a precise "schema"... And there are many other ways to approach it...

@Ray-Peat-Fanboy To some extent, yes. Although that doesn't mean that if you do something when you're drunk that you simply didnt have the courage to do it before. Being fully drunk brings you into a state of insanity.

@Ray-Peat-Fanboy to a certain extent, yes. When I was a regular drinker I've often did it to loosen my restraint and be able to speak freely; and even when I got drunk completely alone I still enjoyed the feeling of freedom, of being able to at least enjoy my own thoughts without fear (or expressing them on the various online venues I frequented). At the other hand, alcohol is also a depressant: it simplifies and reduces complex thoughts; a drunk's sloppy, disorganized speech reflects a sloppy, disorganized mind.
