What your star sign reveals about your drunken nature

Sometimes we get drunk and act totally out of character.

A person's drunken behaviour can strongly be influenced by their astrological sign.

Don't believe me?

Well then check out our astrological predictions, originally compiled by Petru Du Preez, on each zodiac signs drunken nature. 




Aries
Impulsive Aries people like to party and sometimes don't know when to call it a night.

Their competitive streak makes them prone to closing time shot contests. They're sloppy, fun drunks, and they get mighty flirty and a bit rude after a couple tipples.

Taurus
Taurus prefers to drink at a leisurely pace, aiming for a mellow glow rather than a full on zonk.

Since a truly intoxicated Taurus is a one-person stampede, the kind of bull-in-a-china-shop inebriate who spills red wine on white carpets and tells fart jokes to employers, the preference for wining and dining (or Bud and buddies) to body shots and barfing is quite fortunate for the rest of us.

Gemini
Gemini's can drink without changing their behaviour much – they're so naturally chatty and short-attention-spanned that it's just hard to tell sometimes.

They can amaze you by conversing with finesse and allusions, and then do something to belie an extremely advanced state of intoxication, like puking in your shoe.

Cancer
Cancer is a comfort drinker – and an extra wine with dinner or an after-work beer or six can be extra comforting, can't it, Cancer darling? Like fellow water signs Scorpio and Pisces, Crabs must guard against lushery.

Cancers are never really drunk; instead, they get "tired and emotional" (read: weepy when lubricated).

Leo
Leo likes to drink and dance – they're often fabulous dancers, and usually pretty good drinkers as well, losing their commanding dignity and turning kittenish.

Of course, they're quite aware they're darling – Leos will be Leos, after all. They generally know their limit, probably because they loathe losing self-control.

Virgo
Cerebral Virgos are compelled to impose order onto their bender. Their famously fussy quest for purity could lead to drinking less than other signs, sure – but it could also lead to drinking booze neat, to sucking down organic wine or just to brand loyalty.

Libra
"I'm jusht a social drinker," slurs Libra, "it's jusht that I'm so damn social?" Libra loves nothing more than to party, mingle and relate to everyone. Whether dipped in favor of Good Libra (with Insta-Friend device set to "on") or heavier on the Evil Libra side (they are little instigators when bored), the Scales can really work a room.

Scorpio
Don't ever tell Scorpios they've had enough, for they'll smirk at you and quietly but intentionally keep tippling till they're hog whimpering drunk, out of 100-proof spite. Scorpios like to drink, and screw you if you have a problem with that.

Sagittarius
In vino veritas – and, for Sagittarius, in booze blurtiness: When buttered, they'll spill all your secrets and many of their own. Tactlessness aside, Sagittarius is just plain fun to drink with. This is a sign of serious partying.

Capricorn
Capricorn is usually described as practical, steadfast, money-hungry and status-thirsty – no wonder they get left off the astrological cocktail-party list.

Due to their competitive nature, Capricorns will want to out drink everyone but their need for control and maintaining their reputation doesn’t allow this to happen.

What Capricorn actually does:



Aquarius

Aquarius and drinking don't go together that well (except for water, that is). They have an innate tendency toward know-it-allism, and if they get an idea while sizzled, they're more stubborn than a stain or a stone.

Pisces

Not only do Pisces like to lose themselves in the dreamy, out-there feeling that only hooch can give, but they build up a mighty tolerance fast. Who needs an expensive date like that?
