Scientists identify four drunk personality types

These include the Ernest Hemingway who is barely affected by excessive alcohol; the Mary Poppins who is friendly and compassionate and the Nutty Professor who is transformed from a quiet type to a confident extrovert. Worst of all is the menacing and hostile Mr Hyde, researchers said, adding that most people who fall into the last category were women. Psychologists at the University of Missouri-Columbia asked more than 360 men and women to complete a personality test: once when they were sober and once when they were under the influence of alcohol.
