I'm a lifetime stutterer. I'm also an alcoholic of sorts (I drink 2-5 alcoholic beverages a day). Drinking will make me stutter less in social situations. There is no doubt about it. Social anxiety ma...

I was just trying to give a brief over view of the general idea, but i'll try to answer these: 1. I think the main way would be, not getting them smashed. The is the main issue with using alcohol. Lu...

Exactly. Generally, if something makes you more comfortable, it reduces your stutter. But alcohol can go both ways in my experience. It sometimes makes me stutter way worse than before. It really de...

I don't stutter at all when I drink, but I stutter a lot when I don't. I remember before I ever started drinking, I was a pretty competent speaker all the time, and when I started drinking, I stuttere...

I think we're in the same boat. I can recall situations where I've been initially nervous, got a little tipsy, and had my speech improve as I forget how nervous I was. The same thing happens as I get ...

Sure. When I'm buzzed, I block up and can't say a thing. When I'm mildly drunk, I laugh at everything and can talk slightly better than usual. When I'm stumbling drunk, I slur and talk fine (I think)....

I think you need to be clear that its not ethanol that is making people's stutters better, it is the fact that they are intoxicated and less nervous when speaking to other people. You will see the sam...

I'm genuinely interested in participating, I have a clear idea of how alcohol has effected my speech....

Yeah sure im in. PM me when you start or something. Funny story: I once met a girl in a club and spent the whole night with her and she brought me back to her place. We did out thing and the next mor...

This sounds like something I may be interested in participating. I do notice that my stutter isn't that bad when I'm buzzed or drunk, I think it is a social anxiety thing for me. ...

Hi /Stutter, I am a 3rd year University student, looking at the effects of alcohol on stuttering and thought some of you could offer up honest opinions?

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions. This is super helpful! I never want to make anyone feel uncomfortable but this was a totally new situation for me so I want to make sure I ha...

Thank you! This is really, really helpful. I think that's pretty much what I was doing last night--I would make eye contact until I started to worry that it was getting awkward, and then I would jot s...

Cursing

Cursing Whenever I'm eating with my friends. I stutter when I'm making a normal sentence like "This hamburger tastes delicious," but don't stutter when I say "This sandwich tastes like a fucking piece...

to my knowledge, no. But in my experience I stutter less while imbibing an adult beverage. Our shared experience matches up with anecdotal evidence suggesting that there is not a group phenomenon (e.g...

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this, but has there been any formal studies that show a correlation between drinking and stuttering? I feel like I stutter more after I've had a few drinks a...

From personal experience it gets worse every time I spend a lot of time on the internet. My theory is this. That because of the quick dopamine surges the internet has to offer the number of dopamine r...

The only time I dread talking is when introducing myself, my first name begins with a letter that is my arch nemesis. But beyond that, I think I'm quite outgoing and talkative. As for the booze, it us...

Odd We are opposite, if i drink i cant get a single word out with out stammering on it,...

I find that it makes my stuttering worse. When I smoke, I over analyze everything that I do or say and usually care much more what others think about me. I have no confidence and I end up hardly talki...
