You must remember the scene from the movie Sholay where Veeru climbs on the tank and talks about marrying Basanti. In this scene, Dharmendra, who is playing the character of Veeru, gets drunk and climbs on the tank and proposes to marry Basanti in front of the villagers. In this, he speaks some English words, like “Chakki grinding, and grinding, and grinding in the jail”.
Apart from this, you must have seen such scenes in many Bollywood films where the hero starts speaking English after drinking alcohol. There are many such people around us who start using English after drinking alcohol as if it is their mother tongue.
Do people really master English after drinking alcohol?
In such a situation, the question definitely arises whether people really become proficient in English after drinking alcohol? Why is it that people start using more English words under the influence of alcohol? Let us know the science behind this.
Science magazine ‘Journal of Psychopharmacology’ has done research on this and has given the reason for this. This special reason has come to light after examining the mental condition of many alcoholics.
Alcohol reduces social anxiety and restlessness!
Research has also found that alcohol reduces social anxiety and restlessness. This is why when we talk to people without anxiety, our ability to speak a second language improves. When the intoxication wears off, we feel that our second language has improved and we can talk in it easily and sometimes people start using such English words which are not actually English, like “Chakki grinding, and grinding, and grinding in the jail”.
Drinking too much alcohol can have the opposite effect
Researchers have warned that drinking too much alcohol can have adverse effects. Drinking alcohol makes your tongue slur, makes it difficult to speak fluently and reduces your self-confidence. Apart from this, drinking too much alcohol also has a bad effect on your performance.
Alcohol addiction is one of the worst addictions
Most importantly, alcohol is extremely harmful to health. Doctors say that excessive alcohol consumption impairs memory, increases the risk of stress and stroke, and can cause other serious heart diseases. People suffering from alcohol use disorder (AUD) experience thinning of the cortex areas of the brain. This is the wrinkled outer layer of the brain that affects many important functions, such as memory, creativity and decision-making abilities.
Therefore, avoid resorting to alcohol to gain confidence, as its addiction is one of the worst addictions.
