I don't drink often, but when I do I get ridiculously drunk, I become a monster. Im surrounded by some of the best people in the world, but I always end up doing or saying something i can hardly deal with the next day, aside from that, they are more than forgiving. I just recently had a bout of this for my birthday. I generally think this is because I bottle my feelings and the only way I know how to release them is by blacking out and throwing a temper tantrum or sobbing. Its crazy because I'm a grown man. I hate it, i actually hate it. Its like I never grew up, a child stuck in an aging body. I tell myself it wont happen again. Then after months i go out for a beer or a drink and wake up embarrassed seeing flashes of this animal mixed with absolutely nothingness. Wondering what i did or said. While not really wanting to know. If any of you are dealing with this or have, what helped? I dont mind if you Share some embarrassing moments you've dealt with or just how to deal with it. Thanks, this place is the only place I know to ask because I don't have anyone else to talk too.

People like to blame this kind of event on trauma or past history. But honestly, I think some people just don’t do alcohol well. It just doesn’t mesh with some people’s biology. I used to drink a lot, and I was the same way—I’d have a bad reaction. I have relatives who are the same way. It’s like an allergy to alcohol.
Stop drinking. I know, easier said than done, but it’s crazy to keep doing something when it has such terrible consequences. If every time you turned on the water, it burned you, you’d avoid turning on the water and get it fixed. Simple analogy, but it’s true. Stop doing what hurts you.
