Alcohol

Everytime my friends drink it they get extroverted and immensely cheerful, but when I do, I always end up depressed, in tears and very introverted. I don't drink nearly as much as they do, but still it doesn't seem right/normal.
Does anyone have any ideas why, and has this happened to any of you?
Thanks.

Drinking like that isn't the best way to have a good time, and some people are good fakers too.

On a practical level, you could be drinking either too much for your system as you might put it, or, you could be drinking a substance which upsets you. I find drinking vodka is a no no for me as it makes me angry. Cider is generally ok provided i avoid it at times when i am unhappy or nervous. So now I follow those rules I'm all right. Maybe whatever you are drinking just doesn't agree with you. I'd suggest trying something else and seeing if you get the same thing happen. Of course, if you mix drinks then this would b*gger up the experiment entirely!

Good luck in finding the cause.

I can get depressed but its down to little things that will set me off.I will be giggling and playing hide and seek but if I lose I will cry my eyes out.Or if it starts raining I'll cry.
But mainly I'm like a damn child.
On friday I got drunk on the way to school and I was still able to balance all my equations and answer every single question she asked me.My teacher even let me play with lithium.But once Peter let go of my arm I would fall over.So I can be smart but only if someone is holding me up so I wont talk about how my lips are numb and my legs are like tree trunks that can move.

My friend used to have some issues that made him unhappy, and when he drunk all these problems were maximised, and he got violent too. Then something happened to resolve these, and whilst he was genuinely happy, when he drunk he was happy too.

I mean, that's just one person, and you don't strike me as being terminally unhappy, Alice, so I'm not sure... I'm going to shut up now...

That Pink song is pure evil though, don't worry. I agree with Amy in that alcohol exaggerates any mood you are already in when you start drinking. It can also make you paranoid, which may be why you become emotional.

Agreed. Alcohol just tends to make me giggly and in a lovable mood. Occasionally reflective over things, but never unhappy or angry, although I don't drink that much so maybe it's just a case of me not experiencing that yet... or something. I find that my mood is largely affected by who I'm with though.

I dunno, I don't drink too heavy stuff like my friends do, but I hate the taste of beer. So I drink alchopops-but not a lot. I find I can still speak clearly and walk in a straight line and everything (and my balance is no worse than normal), 'tis just a sucky thing.
But thanks

and lets not forget , theres always a man dumb/desperate/horny enough to take her home/upstairs/outside..

In my opinion Alcohol is good, even if it kills you. So does smoking, breathing walking, eating, every think really, in my opinion. Alcohol is the true God in my opinion.

Unless I have cloned myself.

O-o-o-o-o-o-h-h!!!!

Ignites lightsabre and decapitates all his clones, puts heads into the oven to cook for the main course.

I don't drink at all, mainly as i've seen alcohol have so many negative effects on friends and family. I also just don't like the taste :S Peach Snaps is as far as i've ever went, wooo hardcore! hehe. I'm such a lightweight!

Alcohol is technically a depressive, so i can see why it makes you emotional Alice. *huuugs* *chocolate buttons*
