Does alcohol worsen your stuttering?

[Matthias]

that is a different story . but when i meet a girl which i already know . it is not sever especially if she knows my name . when she does not know my name i get scared she will ask me whats my name and i stammer even more . ( i stammer to say my name Matthias )

Just don't start taking drugs to solve the problem. I unfortunately for a time took Dramamine to make my speech flow easier. It worked at first, but it could lead to depression and addiction. Alcohol I'm sure is just as potentially bad.

My brother has the same problem as I do; he once stopped sleeping to keep his problem at bay. He told me your too damned tired to even think about your problems, let alone stuttering. I wouldn't advise that either.

EXACTLY. There's this girl i've been trying to talk to, but the only times i've seen her were during parties where we both got completely drunk. We were pretty much all over each other and i even got her number, but i'll probably never call her or even meet her outside a party setting. For now, i'm sticking to Myspace and text - we'll see where it goes from there.

Alcohol lessens my stuttering a lot. I guess it makes me worry about stuttering less and then because of this I stutter less.
