I have lost count of the college age patients who have asked me why they are more "fluent" when under the influence. UNINHIBITED. A head buzz can make pws temporarily 'forget' about the role of stuttering in his life. He may have reduced fear and anxiety. UNINHIBITED. I found that as I learned motor controls (i.e. light contacts) staying in control of my speech was MORE difficult when inebriated. Clearly, alcohol and drugs are not a solution.
