I wouldn’t necessarily say I have a stammer/stutter - when I’m sober my speech is pretty clear although I can sometimes speak a bit too fast. However as soon as I’m tipsy or drunk, I find myself stuttering hard. The more drunk I am the worse it is. I have particular trouble with sentences that begin with vowels or w, so I sometimes re-word sentences so they start with a hard consonant. If I’m really drunk and notice it getting really bad I’ll try avoid talking as much as possible or even leave functions early. Anyone else with a similar situation?
