Vice that brings out your true colour

If you want to know a person's true character and you had just know him/her for a short period of time, there's a short cut. And, no, it's not hiring a fortune teller. Just indulge them in these vices: escort services (that's for man only obviously), gambling and alcohol.

The presence of a beautiful lady in a close door can reveal a lot about a man. Maybe they will go all gooey pouring out their heart to them or their hands (and other body parts) get naughty or both. You'll get to see a whole new personality of him in split seconds. Of course, he mustn't know that you are peeping.

Gambling with real money and especially at significant stake can also brings out the inner personality of a particular person. Is he/she narrow minded? How important is money in their perception? Do they take losses gracefully? Most people don't and they will grumble and blame their 18th generation ancestor for that poor bet that they just lost.

But both the above methods, if realized, and with a small amount of self control, can still mask their true colour unless you are trained to read microexpressions on their face.

Therefore, alcohol consumption or what we call in layman term - hardcore drinking is the perfect vice to reveal one's true behavior. Of course, there are drugs but I am not experienced there, so we keep to the simple everyday vice. After a few shots down, you feel like people around you are your best friends, you keep babbling emotionally non-stop like the old hen's asshole. If you had suppressed emotions like anger, guilt, sadness, and so on; after more shots, you'll start to either cry, laugh uncontrollably, throwing out tantrums or being overtly aggressive. The suppressed emotion will pour out like an open water tap.

So, friendly advice to those that haven't indulge in these vices, either you don't do it at all for the rest of your life or you experience it in a safe environment and, recognize your limit and behaviors. Thereafter, when the unexpected occasion demands, you know how to handle yourself.

(p/s: Although I know my limits, my 'bad' behaviour when I'm high is chasing after drinks and challenge the whole wide world to 'kan pei' with me, so occasionally I am way off limits too; safer bet? Don't do it!)
