"To be able to speak your mind?
Or, do you just speak it and hope for the best? "
Depends on circumstance and company for speaking my mind I'd not need a drink anyhoo. |

One of reasons I gave for not drinking was the fear of telling some people what I really think of them or outing myself as kinky.
There are times especially recently when I want to drink but for the wrong reasons |

No I don't need a drink and even if I have I often still take my own counsel best.
I don't always think the truth needs to be heard, sometimes it is just wasting my breath and their ears. Save it for the conversations and relationships that matter. |

I'm not confrontational by nature and I've never tasted alcohol.
Some people claim to be able to speak their mind regardless and have an "I couldn't give a fuck" attitude and I've no time for those because they have no thought for the impact of their words.
I'll speak my mind if asked for it but I'll never use it as a weapon. |

No and I am wary of those who don't speak their minds.
I am not conflict averse, so I will speak my mind, if I feel it is justified. Once it's done it's done. Go back inside have a pint, hug it out or whatever. It's done then.
I don't think alcohol changes that really. Same process. |

I consider my words. I certainly don’t need a drink to be honest. But I’m never blunt or brutal. A little diplomacy, understanding and empathy can go a long way. In the past I have been reactive, but only when I’ve felt that I’ve been wronged in some way. These days I mostly don’t reply at all, or leave considerable time to reflect before I do. |
