I have a friend who drinks beer when we go out, as the night progresses he begins to act strangely, often seeing things as worse than what they really are, he will fixate on one issue and never let it go, sometimes he just sits down and falls asleep immediately, he has been known to strip down and all of a sudden be found outside of the house naked, sleepwalking, sometimes i wonder if the alcohol makes him fall asleep but he looks awake, because his actions are so irrational and unlike himself that I think the alcohol might put him into some sort of sleep walking state. Sometimes he will swear that someone is saying something when they haven't even opened their mouth, like a hallucination but only when he is drinking this happens. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any information would help.

Oh yes! VERY familiar. Your friend is what would be considered a bad drunk. People who have to act out while under the influence. Some of them like to fight, some become a sex-crazyed octopus, all would never act like that when they're not drunk. It happens. Your friend drinks much more than he should, and probably shouldn't be drinking at all. One day he'll do something to you, or that gets you in trouble, and you'll get tired of him. Everyone's had a friend like him. Some people have had to fire him. Some women have even married him, had children with him, and divorced him.

Alcohol damages brain cells..your friend sounds Schizophrenic..and that can happen from long abuse of any substance...he is drinking until he is up to his brain level...he doesn't drink to enjoy ..he has a very high tolerance for alcohol...and needs it to survive...I have a brother in law just like your friend..He will sit outside my sisters house and talk to someone...he laughs "hysterically and very evil" he sees people walking around...he will look up at the sun and talk to "whatever" he is seeing at the moment...he become another person...he even changes his voice ...a deeper darker voice...that to me is the Dark Side that we humans and animals have...your friend will not live very long..as my brother in law will not live long either...abuse of alcohol does alot of damage to the liver
