    Don't drink if you cant handle it. You seem like you have some serious issues that need sorting out before you harm yourself or someone else. Drunk violence is pathetic.

    Without drinking, how are you going to know when you can tell the difference?




    OP: The anger probably comes from being a generally nice guy. I'd echo the feeling that you should stop drinking - if you're liked most of the time, why do you need to loosen up? Sounds as if you get on with people anyway.
    Well by the sound of it he has drunk quite a lot in the past so he should use his memory to recall after how many drinks he turns into the violent guy.

    Hmm. Why do you think he gets angry because he's nice without drinks? I'm a nice guy (well I like to think I am!) but I don't recall turning violent when drunk. I'd say it goes deeper than that.

    The thing is - it's a mood elavator. So if you're sad & get drunk, you'll usually end up even more sad. If you're happy & you get drunk, you'll end up ecstatic.
    What if my mood was at equilibrium :holmes:

    Interesting/pedantic question sir.

    Firstly I'd have to say mental equilibrium is almost impossible. Especially for someone who is about to intake alcohol.

    Secondly, if you somehow managed this, you would become increasingly equal. Which of course means your emotional state would remain unchanged. Unless the alcohol in itself released chemicals which altered your emotion.

    Learn your limits. Find the point you can drink to where you're still in control. You'll still be drunk and have fun, just remember things and be able to recognise that some things are incredibly stupid.

    Lol good answer, I was thinking similar on the increased state of equilibrium haha

    To the OP stop drinking is your only solution or change who you are going out with. As I found when I drank to drunkenness with one group of people I was a bit of a tit but when drinking with another group I was a gent.

    Ah, but does he remember?

    I say that because I'm a cynic that thinks people have the same amount of anger within, but generally nice people are better at not expressing it. The guards go down with alcohol, so generally nice people become angry.

    Just got back from quite a quiet night out.
    Limited how much I drank and kept my cool completely.
    A friend I was out with completely self destructed after way to much to drink. I pulled him and his brother apart with him threatening to knock my teeth out if I didn't get out of his way.

    It was very difficult being on the other side of the anger, and being sober enough to see how much it upset other people in the group hurt even more. Not to mention it was bloody terrifying.

    Puts it into perspective really.
