Is it a social habit or are they "trying to forget". Prescribed medication is involved and it does have a effect on the persons behavior and personality. To the point where you really do not want to be around them because they tend to want conflict. They are fine without the drinking.

Most people who drink all the time start out drinking to avoid feeling their emotions, to escape and avoid situations or feelings. After awhile, drinking everyday is only to avoid withdrawal symptoms.

Getting Drunk Everyday

If it is a new habit, there could be any number of reasons. There could be an incident that was painful that they are trying to forget. It could be as simple as that person thinks that being drunk/high is "the thing to do" to have fun, be cool, or whatever. They may not realize that they are so obnoxios when they are drunk. If this is something that this person has done fro a long time (years) then it may actually be a physical need within this person that they are not able to control without help.
Talk to this person or at least someone with the power to be able to help.
This should not be ignored or overlooked. Nothing good can come out of a situation like this. Best Wishes.

Actually, this type of person is not fine without the drinking. They still have the same addictive personality disorders, but are more able to present an appearance of being fine. Someone drinking everyday, whether taking medication or not, has a drinking problem. Medication and alcohol are always a poor combination, frequently with serious results. Until the person is willing to admit they have a problem, and seek help, they will remain as they are.

They are addicted to the alcohol. It has become a way of life for them. Mixing prescribed meds with it, if they are seditives or the like, is a train wreck in progress. Alcohol makes you brave and stupid. So, you say a lot of BS. Stay away from this person, if it bothers you. You could try and help them get sober, if that is what you want. Otherwise, alcoholism is a sickness, so consider them sick, and off limits every day they do this.

Alcoholism, and most other addictions, are self-reinforcing and are avoidance responses. Avoidance responses are the most difficult behaviors to extinguish and change. Alcoholics are usually trying to avoid an unpleasant situation. Many alcoholics develop a sense of grandiosity over time. These feelings are that they can conquer anything or fool anyone, but they rarely accomplish much because the one thing they need to do something about, they are avoiding. Most are pleasant in the moments of sobriety, but they feel inadequate in that state.
If you think you can change such a person yourself in the present circumstance, think again. Think long and hard - wasn't the present circumstance what led them to this state? Usually they need a dramatic change, such as an intervention. Most people who love them are not strong enough to change them. No one can change, anyway, unless they wish to change themselves. Good luck and God be with you!

They are ill and need help.. (alcoholic) it becomes a need .. addiction..
Unless they themselves realize that they have a problem and need help.. they will not seek it.....nor will they accept the help of others..
Yes medication can change a person's behavior and also mixing the prescribed medication with alcohol can be deadly..
I would try to talk to this person when they are sober..
Good Luck!!

I suppose it is a feeling of helplessness about life or a particular stressing situation, when someone needs to get drunk every day.
When one drink does not help to chase the blues away, a whole bottle might do the job, could be the feeling of such a person.
I feel sorry for anyone who is in the clutches of any addiction, may it be alcohol or drugs, but as a lay-person I cannot help them. They need professional help.
Get the phone book and open the white or yellow pages and search for "AAA", phone them and ask for help.

a good friends of mine actually has that problem... he's so much fun when he's sober but whenever he's home he drink as much as possible. i keep telling him to stop but all that works is hanging out with him so he won't...
he's told me the reason that he does it is because of his family (alot of alcohol and drugs) and his history (generally depressing) and just alot of other factors in his life and that he'd stop but he doesn't see a point and i think that's what it is like with alot of other people too. they started because of things in their past or their upbringing and they either can't stop or don't want to for whatever reason.... they really are drinking to forget all the horrible things in their life and i've learned that people that do that really aren't bad (or they don't mean to be...) but everyone has a story....

Kids that were medicated for ADHD when they were small seem to need to drink and get drunk more than Kids that didn't take anything for the ADHD. The medicated kids are the ones with behavior and personality problems that you speak of.
