Alcohol misery

Anon because I know poeple on here and I am too ashamed of myself to let them know what happened last night.

I'm 21, and whenever I used to go on nights out and get drunk, I just became a more exaggerated version of my normal self, very harmless and merry. However, these days (in the last 6 months or so), whenever I get drunk I turn into a completely different person, and it has started to scare me. I become very mouthy and rude to anybody, am loud and vocal, and basically a complete prick.

Last night I apparently mouthed off to the bouncers on the door when they IDed me, then after not being allowd in just stayed outside the door rambling on when I should have just gone home. Then the police turned up and I mouthed off to them and was promptly put in a cell and fined. even throughout being in the cell I just kept running my mouth. I feel so embarrased and ashamed today, because it is so unlike me to be rude and offensive. I am such as reserved, polite person.

I used to be such a happy, friendly drunk, but not I become a complete dick and it scares me. Not at all aggressive/violent (I'd never start a fight for example), but just plain cheeky and offensive. The worst thing is I can't even remember mouthing off to the bouncers or the police to why I was arrested, and when I think back to how I behaved in the police station, it just seems like I was a different person, and I hate that person.

Has anyone else experienced changes in behaviour when drunk. It seems I really can't handle it anymore, when it used to be fine.

Well basically it sounds like you're drinking more to me. I've seen this in a couple of mates. Basically, reduce your intake, simply though that sounds. If you can't do so, seek some help earlier rather than later.

Only solution is really is to don't drink so much if you hate acting like that while drunk.

Have you started drinking anything different? I don't know if there's any truth to this, but my friend is convinced different drinks make you react differently. She is an absolute nightmare if she's been on the vodka, for example.

The effects of alcohol is usually determined on your mood beforehand. Has anything been going not so well in your life? Perhaps you should talk about that first, then tackle your alcohol consumption problem. ;console;

Screw the anon...

To be honest my life is pretty fine at the mo. I just get so arrogant and don't respect any authority. I feel as though I might be like that anyway, albeit much toned down.

I do believe what I drink has a major effect. I was on some very strong cider rather quickly, and had been knocking back Grolsch earlier (nasty drinking games). Don't remember anything after downing the cider until I got cuffed. Rather scary.

I think there's some truth to this maybe...although I can't make a clear distinction between changes in my drinking habits and simply growing up and changing. A few years ago I would stick whisky and cokes and beer etc and would be a fairly happy go lucky drunk. However recently I'm more likely to drink wine or cider which seems to induce long winded rambling, repetitive conversation and angry rants. :confused:

Different drinks often have different effects. I don't drink lager so I don't know what that does to me, but cider makes me slur my words more, alcopops make me a little more aggressive, rum makes me happy, and whisky makes me depressed. Although some of that is probably because I drink certain things depending on what I feel like at the time.

I'd just drink less, and stay right off the stella :P

Edit: ooh and gin, stay off the gin. Mothers' Ruin, that stuff is.

Rum is evil, it makes me psychotic! Cider is just disgusting...And Vodka makes me really aggressive, not nice.

Yehh start drinking a lot less now, and just try to really think about what you are drinking. It could be different drinks having different effects on you so just try to know yourself better now..

To be put in a cell must be quite shocking!
I think you should limit the drinking and seek professional advice (as there may be an underlying reason to your behaviour!)
I don't really know if theres any proven truth in different drinks affecting behaviour or why people turn into a different characteristic drunk (I know I go through hyper, emotional and spaced)

I once had 11 pints of Stella one night. Needless to say it wasn't a nice experience.
