Alcohol reduces my inhibition to talk and it makes me not care as much about my stutter so I talk more and that frame of mind alleviates the stutter, sometimes only little, sometimes a lot. Depends on my mood before I get drunk. Now Marijuana on the other hand makes me feel socially broken when I talk I get super weird and I stutter even more because I guess I'm paranoid when I'm high and I'm even more hyper aware of the fear of stuttering which perpetuates the stutter. Even though drinking helps me speak I don't like the idea of having to use it as a crutch or sort of a social lubricant, so I only drink when mostly everyone else who I'm hanging out with is.
