Why do I cry when I get drunk?

Question

Last night I went to the strip bar and I got so drunk. I had a great time but then after like a couple of hours one of the girls came out with a dress with the US flag and when she took it off and threw on the floor I got upset because I thought about my cousins fighting in Iraq so I walked out and sat outside I was crying and this guy was telling me things will be ok. After a few minutes I calmed down and called a taxi and came home. I always have to do something embarrassing when I drink. Is this normal?

Answer 1

When a person drinks too much, they turn into two kinds of people Happy drunks or Mad drunks.  You are the latter.  

Alcohol often brings out a side that you don't want public.  When I drink too much, the truth comes out and I become very honest to people.  But I mean... blunt honest that can make you cry cause I don't hold back.  If someone ask me if they look fat, I'll flat out tell them all their faults like your underarms are too flabby, your lower abs stick out so suck it in and boys will like you or everyone's favorite- "How the h**l did you get into that outfit?  Can you even breathe in it?  Because if I were you, I wouldn't be able to.  You should change like now." Oh, and I'm very, very loud when I say it especially in public.  I'm louder than the music they play in clubs which is ironic because I'm usually very shy and I mumble a lot.  It's like an alter-ego comes out cause I would never say that consciously.

Answer 2

Because getting drunk is pathetic

Answer 3

first off getting drunk is not pathetic. I understand being offended by the desecration of old glory but thats no reason to cry. If you are at a strip club be prepared to be exposed to ideals and practices that you wont see at wal-mart or many other places. Some people just are not made to drink, which is why several people answered this question by bashing alcohol. The alcohol is lowering inhibition by blocking your gaba receptors and your glutamate receptors. The result is being wasted. Sometimes getting drunk can have a therapuetic or even cathardic effect. I recommend slowing down on the sauce until you get enough practice with it to control yourself. Remember getting drunk can be a beautiful thing if done responsibly and respectably.

Answer 4

Because the alcohol breaks down the emotional walls you've built up around the issues you've let build up around your cousin. you need to deal with them while sober so that they don't rear-up there heads while your drinking.

Answer 5

Don't drink! Smoke weed. It's healthier, and it makes s*x a million times better. I bet it would be loads more fun at a strip bar.

Anyways, alcohol gives you a "high", and when you come down, if you don't pass out, then you feel the down. Cocaine does this too. The reason you started crying is because you felt depressed from your "high" like state.

We all gotta come down sometime- just hope you pass out :P

Answer 6

Alcohol is a depressant.  It brings you down and makes you let down your guard.  That is exactly why I dont drink.  Alcohol makes you miserable...while drinking and afterwards.

Answer 7

Alcohol is a system depressant.

So yes, your reaction is normal.

But why would you want to do something so depressing and, according to you, embarrassing?

Whats not normal is drinking so much when you know how badly it affects you.  That is not fun for much longer than the booze makes it fun.

Slow your intake down, water your drinks, make sure you eat and not just drink. Get a rep as a sloppy drunk and you will be drinking alone.

Pace yourself.

Answer 8

you were just expressing your emotions, and when alcohol is involved, emotions get stronger.  Dont worry about it, sounds like you were just being patriotic!

Answer 9

Some people get emotional - thats the effects of alcohol on the brain and the body...

Answer 10

alcohol does different things to different people!

Answer 11

yes

drinks make you show your emotions in an extream way. if you feel a little sad, and you drink, then you cry for a day. if you feel just a little angry, and then you drink, then you yell at everyone and desrtoy everything in your path. if you are content, and you drink, you become so happy you'd start skipping

Answer 12

My mom cries when she drinks.  I would have been pissed at the stupid w***e for throwing the flag on the ground, don't whores have any consideration that there are people fighting for us so she can keep whoring safely without worrying about getting blown up?
