Does anyone else find themselves out of control while drunk?
I know that probably sounds a bit of a daft thing to ask as everyone gets like that after drinking but more than other people?
I can't just go and drink like other people do because I always end up doing something I regret afterwards.

Not bad before meds - tried to be witty before konking out in a corner.
With meds...oooooooh - great at first before becoming an embarrassment.

Does anyone else find themselves out of control while drunk? Oh yes! Half a dozen court appearances Many,many visits to A&E Ridiculously inappropriate behaviour toward just about everyone and everything A mouth that just will not close ...and a devilish sense of merriment! I don't drink much anymore these days

Particularly bad in my teenage years and subsequent youth, but have become much more wary as I've got older. Nowadays I'm careful to release that inner guardian angel, just before drinking, who can tackle most of the issues as they happen and she gives me a good solid wrap on the shoulder most of the time. In his trilogy "His Dark Materials", Philip Pullman ascribes to those in a parallel universe, the notion of soul-linked "daemons" in the form of "lesser" beings and according to personality and gender. So a woman might have a male polecat attributed to her personality, flitting around giving advice and being a closely allied companion, which dies when she does. Fascinating concept. I imagine these entities would be great for ADHDers Here's one character from the book with his female hare-like life-companion or "daemon". I think this might've been from the film adaptation:

I've often wondered of this is an ADHD thing but came across a few posts on a US forum from people saying alcohol doesn't affect them so figured it was just me.
I'm PI. But I feel like my hyperactivity is repressed and it all comes out when I drink. I'm much better at not drinking too much now but my reputation still follows me with anecdotes of my actions at nights out and new vocabulary I've invented whilst drunk being brought up often at work. When someone new starts, the first time we go out they always seem to ask me if I'm gonna be on it like they've heard some stories.
Still, better than at the last place where a colleague twatted me for spraying a bottle of beer over him. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

I avoid drinking where I can as I never know when to stop. I am usually the one at five in the morning shouting 'come on you boring bastards', feeling pissed off that nobody can keep up. I frequently lose memory of events. the embarrasment of having to ask what I did the previous night should stop me, but I always forget this the next time a party comes round. I think the confidence that alcohol gives me to be myself is the addictive part. When I first start I like the way my 'shackles' fall away, and so want more of this brilliant feeling. I suppose I get a glimpse of what it must feel like to be confident and 'normal'. It is so liberating when I am released from my daily prison of low self esteem and fear of social interaction that my brain just wants to sustain that release for as long as possible - unfortunately forgetting about the cumulative effects of alcohol. I love being the 'life and soul' of a party, but unfortunately lack the self control to know when to stop. I have often redefined 'inappropriate'. Like grim I have lost count of the arrests and A&E visits. I also have lots of memories of being punched in the face for what I thought at the time was no reason. I now know it was because I'd lost control and was being a total cock.
