Why does this happen?

Question

Whenever I drink hard liquor I get belligerent? I grew up in a rural area where it was the norm to get drunk and find a good fight. I hated it and left there and like to think that I am more enlightened these days. I am one of the friendliest, kindest people that you could ever meet...and yet, if I have whiskey, I seem to seek trouble and violence? I am really perplexed by this. I don't have to struggle to control my temper when I am sober, I rarely ever get angry. And I don't ever want to hurt anyone. I rarely ever drink-once last year, I think. What is going on with me?

Answer 1

There are happy drunks and angry drunks: You are the latter.

Sounds like if you only drink once a year anyway, you could just quit all together and avoid the whole problem. Or, drink just a little a little more often and see if you can feel the problem coming on at some point instead of getting rip snortin' drunk just once in a while and not realize you're angry until it's too late.

(Sorry for the terrible grammar.)

Answer 2

I believe that is just the way you are. I believe most people when they drink become one of the following.
1. The belligerent drunk. (Wants to start a fight and prove his manhood). You
2. The happy drunk. (Just gets happy)
3. The gay drunk. (Start acting gay and playing gay games)
4. The sad drunk. (Starts crying and moping around)
5. The go to sleep drunk. (Just falls asleep)
6. The horny drunk. (Gets horny and wants to get naked)

I have also noticed that most women fall into the happy and horny drunk categories.

I really don't know how you can change this since a consequence of getting drunk is the loss of judgment.
I had a coworker that was just like you and when he started drinking everyone would pretty much clear out. It took him a while to realize the reason was that he became belligerent when he drunk.

Answer 3

For men, hard liquor generates testosterone, where beer doesn't so much. That makes you aggressive and, coupled with the fact that alcohol impairs your judgment, men tend to get beligerent and combative when they drink hard alcohol

For women, beer generates testosterone moreso than hard liquor. This makes them horny.

So, if you want to make a girl horny, buy her a beer instead of a mixed drink.

Answer 4

Alcohol lowers inhibitions to a certain extent, depending on how much you drink. You may be extra sensitive to it. If you want to stay enlightened, sounds like you'd better stick to beer and wine.

Answer 5

whiskey does that to me too , vodka may make you violent too , if i drink rum or tequila I become the lady's man , beer makes me wanna go to bed right after I eat a 8 course breakfast

Answer 6

You're a mean drunk, as those factors that keep this dark side in check are suppressed with the booze
