Why do I cry when I'm drunk?

Me too 
I went through a good few months where every time I got drunk I'd start crying about my ex and I still do occasionally - there's not a huge amount you can do about it to be honest but if you know what's making you sad (when you're sober) tell your friends that if you start talking about it when you're drunk they have permission to distract you in any way possible, that kind of worked for me! Whenever I'm drunk I tend to try to initiate deep conversations about him and my friends now know that the best way to avoid me crying at the end of it is just not to discuss it with me

Ok, before I say anything, telling me to drink less isn't really the approach I'm looking for.
So every time I go to a party and 'binge drink', I always end up the same. I'm first happy and having a good time and dancing, then towards the end I'm throwing up, usually over myself, and hysterically crying. It's pretty embarrassing, especially when I don't know many people and I'm being looked after by strangers.
I'm naturally quite a shy person, so I compensate for that by drinking a lot so I can socialise easier.
I know it's not uncommon, but I don't understand why I cry, when usually I've had a good time. Does anyone else do this, and do you know how to control it (except not drinking obviously) ?

I am the same, I went to a party last night that I had been looking forward to for ages, and ended up crying. What's worse is that my friends just tell me to stop it and I feel like I'm a burden and so just removed myself and sat outside. It happens a lot and I think I know why as I suppress a lot of my feelings when sober so when I'm drunk it's a release. I just want it to stop, a close friend I think just finds me annoying at parties when I get to the emotional stage, and I fell out with two close friends over it last night. And, my ex boyfriend was there kissing a girl who I was friends with, and still I didn't have the right to be emotional
