I'm pretty much the opposite to many people here it seems. Smoke weed = slows down my speech and I stutter less. 3 beers and I practically can't speak without many blocks. 'Can I get a uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Yeah, this is what I noticed a little too. Which really bummed me out, because it's a lot easier to conceal a small high than being tipsy... Say for a professional situation or similar encounter where...

Meh I don't hate it. Whenever we play I'm generally 6 beers in. After that, I don't give a shit, my friends don't give a shit, and we all can laugh at the fact that my 28 year old brother doesn't know...

How do you guys deal with talking to girls in the night life environment?

How do you guys deal with talking to girls in the night life environment? Talking and hitting on girls in bars and clubs is hard enough without a stutter, but it's next to impossible with one. In an e...

I believe stuttering had his cause in the brain. But yeah, when I'm alone I don't stutter. So maybe I can be fluent if I put hard work in my speech? But why? I'm not unlucky with my mild (sometimes mo...

I think alcohol makes my stuttering worse, but it has the added effect that I care about it less, I'm less afraid to say things even when I know I will get a speech block. It's a double-edged sword fo...

You aren't the only who stutters more when you're drunk. It can be a double edged sword. Alcohol removes speech anxiety, which improves speech, but also reduces control over your speech, which can inc...

It might have to do with alcohol being a depressant. Maybe it makes it harder to over-tighten your vocal cords? Might also be confidence, of course. I notice a similar thing, although it's not entire...

I have noticed the same thing. I think for me it's because I relax more when I'm drinking and don't monitor my speech as much. I also feel like I speak more slowly and calmer when drunk, which is nice...

Not stuttering when drunk?

Not stuttering when drunk? Once I've had a few, I stop stuttering. Hardly any blocks, little anxiety, etc. Is this because when we drink we become more confident? We talk with more assertiveness? Our...
