Yeah I definitely think i stutter less when I’m drunk (or I just don’t notice it) I used to get very drunk at parties and other social events to try and hide my stutter, I also used other drugs like mdma to try and hide it, don’t know if it really helps the stutter itself or just the anxiety related to it ( which I believe is half the cause of my stutter) Although i come to realise that this is a terrible way to deal with any problem and does more damage than help. I realised that I would rather have a mild stutter and anxiety at these things and still be myself instead of a drunk idiot. Those who matter don’t care, those who care don’t matter
