News flash: A recent study from the University of Missouri says that some people change their personalities more dramatically than others while drunk. But here’s the clincher: This same study found that there are actually four different types of drunks--and they’re all based on famous literary characters we know and love.
What’s your type? Take our quiz below to find out.

D) Belting out “Paradise City”...in a falsetto...from the top of the bar
Aw, your best friend is getting married! And after a few swigs--er, glasses--of Champagne, you get to make the toast. You:

You’re an Ernest Hemingway, which means you’re pretty much the same drunk as you are sober. According to the study, the largest amount of drinkers--about 40 percent--fall within this group.
You’re a Mary Poppins--aka “practically perfect in every way.” You get sweeter and happier and even more outgoing than you already are.
You’re a Mr. Hyde, which basically means you reveal an alternate personality that’s “less responsible, less intellectual and more hostile” under the influence of booze.
You’re a Nutty Professor. You shed your introverted self with vigor and become a social butterfly as soon as you hit the sauce.
