Yes, alcoholics can experience delusions while sober, particularly if they have a history of alcohol use disorder or have developed alcohol-related brain damage, such as Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. These delusions may stem from underlying mental health issues or neurological impairments. Additionally, withdrawal symptoms or co-occurring psychiatric disorders can also contribute to delusional thoughts even in sobriety. It's essential for individuals experiencing these symptoms to seek professional help for proper assessment and treatment.

Can alcohol affect the way you hear others so that to a drunk person sober people could sound drunk or even high?
It's not how they hear it, but rather how they process the information they are hearing. Alcoholics/people under the influence can have problems fully comprehending what they are hearing and seeing. Alcohol thins the blood which would normally supply the brain with much needed oxygen. The more alcohol in your system, the less oxygen gets delivered to your brain. Someone who is just under the influence could have trouble understanding what is being said to them. Chronic drinkers/drunks/alcoholics can cause long term or permanent brain damage which will cause them to lose mental/brain capacity even if they are sober. So, yes, someone who is drunk or an alcoholic may believe that the sober person speaking with them is under the influence. I have experienced this many times with an alcoholic relative. While I was stone sober, shew would insist that I was drunk because she couldn't comprehend what I was saying to her.

Is alcoholics anonymous a cult?
No. Alcoholics Anonymous is a Spiritual Fellowship of alcoholics with the Primary Purpose of staying sober and helping other alcoholics achieve freedom from alcohol (sobriety) and recover from alcoholism through the teaching and practicing of the Twelve Steps - which is a Program designed to bring about a spiritual awakening in the person practicing it thereby solving all of their problems - including alcoholism. The success rate of the fellowship is very low since very few members actually qualify as alcoholics under AA' "description of the alcoholic" detailed in first forty three pages of the book, "Alcoholics Anonymous" - the volume after which the AA Fellowship was named - while the success rate of those who practice and teach the Twelve Steps to other alcoholics is nearly one hundred percent. The reason why the success rate is low is because of the nature of the illness of alcoholism the individuals' recovery requires that the individual actually puts into practice the suggestions that AA suggests and the problem being that the suffering alcoholic decides to stop getting help and drifts away into the hell of alcohol abuse again if someone is willing to go to vertually any length to stay sober they will but the leg work has to be put in by them. Nobody gets anything out of life for doing nothing after all.

If an alcoholic treats you great while sober but mistreats you when drinking is it possible for them to truly love you Or is a drunk person really a sober person talking?
Alcoholics have a disease and it's a myth that some people who are alcoholics have to have a bottle or more of alcohol to get them into an abusive state. Some men only need a couple of drinks and can be abusive. There is such a thing as an allergic reaction to alcohol. Also if the man is using drugs and drinking this is a lethal combination. Alcoholics may start out by drinking heavily when younger, but, instead of growing up and slowing down with their drinking and making a life for themselves they can't seem to stop. Some men (and women) drink their worries and anger away by hitting the bottle, but the worries or anger only seems to intensify and it's generally taken out on their mate. Alcoholism can also be genetic. It's important that the alcoholic attend AA Meetings and that their partner attends Al-anon to understand the alcoholic; there is a great percentage of alcoholics who will admit they are alcoholics and seek treatment that lead very happy and healthy lifestyles. However, the percentage of men that refuse treatment will continue to drink and abuse. It's important to know that all men that get drunk and are not abusive, but can actually be very sedated and fall asleep. Like with any drug, the alcoholic would rather have the bottle than worry about his relationship with family, perhaps children, partner or friends and unless they are willing to seek help for alcoholism it is best to leave the situation.
