Does anyone else get sad when they drink?

Question

I hardly drink and went out with friends tonight and got super sad after…. Literally cried in our Uber and my friend had to hug me.

I have in the past but thats if I drink a lot of Everclear and already feeling depressed, but I don't drink enough alcohol to feel sad and I'm no longer depressed.

Alcohol often feeds off of how you're already feeling. Like a few months ago, if I had drunk it, I would have been super sad and probably depressed but now if I drink, I'll probably be a happy drunk.

But sorry that happened. That sucks. I hate when that happens to me. Alcohol is supposed to make you feel good, not sad.

Not me, I tend to get goofy and flirty. When I do want to drink my wife usually will make the drink for me and she will add extra alcohol just because she gets a kick out of seeing drunk me. It also doesn't take too much to get me buzzing as I'm a lightweight when it comes to drinking.

When I drink I make absolutely sure that I stop drinking when I start to feel just a little bit tipsy. The border between being tipsy and plane out drunk is very small.

Alcohol definitely makes people way more emotional. I learned at age 16 that getting drunk can make you extremely emotional. The father of my best friend celebrated his birthday with their whole family and I ended up punching him because I got out of control. Still regret that moment 🙄

You've been going through a lot... so yeah.

When i go for drinks I'm usually super silly.

But if you are literally going through a lot and stressed, drinking can bring out emotions you've been bottling up.

I hardly drink, but when I do, I just usually get super extroverted.. I guess my "inner self" comes out a bit more.. But you a sad girl, so that's understandable..

i’m not a drinker, but when I have gotten a buzz in the early years it has given me great energy and happy Aggression where I wouldn’t high five people and celebrate. never any depression from it

sage2021 · Answer

Just the opposite. I start dancing on the tables and having fun.
I only drank alcohol once and got that way because a coworker had the bartender add vodka to my Fuzzy Naval which was my signature drink or plain orange juice.

Sad about what? Why? Drinking or something unrelated to that night? Pent up emotions and alcohol lowered your inhibitions / defenses? Nah, alcohol has never affected me that way.

Sunrising · Answer

I've been given advice by a few people, never to look back, always look forward. I've taken the advice and not dwelled in the past and I'm rarely sad.

exitseven · Answer

I used to get sad sometimes. Most of the time I was a happy drunk.

Maybe_Maybe_not · Answer

Only when I'm already sad, deep inside, alcohol acts as a revealing potion for me, and I assume it works the same for other people

Likestorizz · Answer

As I look back and think deep as I'm drinking yeah but I know crying is not going to fix anything so I just shake it off and enjoy my drinks

Lliam · Answer

No. I get happy. I love everything and everyone.

Drink Taquilla or however you spell it. It's the only alcohol that's an upper instead of a downer

VictorHugo · Answer

In my experience (which isn't much) it could be the drink bringing something out of you. And it also depends on the drink, I think the last thing I would be sad about would be drinking wine.

slatyb · Answer

Many people do. Alcohol reduces inhibitions. Is there some underlying sadness in your life?

DrPepper12 · Answer

Are you sure it was the alcohol and not the people, the location, the ambiance, the conversation, the type of drink, a song or smell,?

Anonymous · Answer

I'm often sad but I don't drink alcohol, at all.

fish5505_87 · Answer

Yep, alcohol is a depressant. It can make you jovial for a while, and angry as well. Everything in moderation!
