Why are my guy friends crying only when they are drunk?

Question

So some of my friends they don't cry unless they are drunk and when they are not drunk they don't cry at all. Why? I know and see people who act crazy or more aggressive when they are drunk but what explains the drunk crying? I think anyone can cry when they need to.

No people can not cry when they need to in this age. You must have heard the saying boys don't cry. in society everybody has places you know like in the song it's a mans world and you guys have to be the "the toughest". i know it sounds like a joke but it has got to do with that persons upbringing, the condition he is in with his family or environment. Gender doesn't matter I know lots of woman crying to sleep when they're drunk. I just think these weights're ridiculous but that's the way it is for some people.

Idk but that happened to me and my friend the last 2 timee we got drunk together. He let out a lot of emotions. So did I. I told him things I bever told anyone. We just had a lot of pent up emotions. I guess the alcohol made it easier to vent our pent up feelings.

Many people still believe men shouldn't cry. I hang out with people who don't want to share their feelings either so I bottle everything up. Alcohol makes us let loose and makes our emotions rise to the surface.

They're stressed over something that normally they can push down while sober. When they get drunk it's likely the pressure gets released. Same as people who cry after sex. There's a full body release due to the change in hormone balance and their stresses are released. The stress toxins need to get out somehow. Better out than in and more forgivable if you can blame alcohol.

Sometimes guys have a lot of anger/sadness inside them that they can control while sober, but lose that control when they're drunk and it just comes out, often in a violent fashion. It depends on the person's disposition as well. Some guys are just easily upset or frustrated and predisposed to that sort of  behavior . Other guys can control themselves regardless of being drunk.

Because you care less what people think when you're drunk, and they want to cry when they're not, but they hold it back because they care to much.

Alcohol lowers inhibitions about what is socially acceptable and what is not and so allows them to express emotions they normally feel they shouldn't express in public. Alcohol also has the effect of intensifying any emotions that the person is feeling at the time.

Guys cry because experts say, Boys are way not open or hiding their

feelings and emotions and all that, because as it is said 'a man should be a man'

a connotation of he should be tough and stuff

And so when he's drunk it goes out ---

The real question is why are so many of your friends getting drunk? What kind of people do you surround yourself with? What kind of person are you? Hope you work that out.

NekoMeow · Answer

Alcohol is a depressant, not a stimulant.  It multiplies emotions and typically men bottle up their feelings because men are viewed as masculine and to cry is sometimes seen as feminine.  Yes, people should cry when they need to, but some people, me included, don't cry because they are very strong emotionally. They only cry when pushed over the edge, in this case it would be the alcohol/beer/liquor.

I'm the same way.. some people suppress their emotions extremely well in regular life , where they don't even realize it.. then when they drink.. waterworks!

Emotional drunks maybe. Drunk men tell no lies and dead men tell no tales, at least that's what my grandma said. So they must be very upset inside.

Um because they are drunk? I do not know the physiology behind it, but I think it's more a drug reaction than a psychological one.

abundantlyrich · Answer

Alcohol loosens their inhibitions and lets them release what they never want to express to people. In a way, it's like a truth serum.

gracomia5 · Answer

Because they are really hurting but just don't let it out. I believe you're the most honest when you're drunk.

EvilPimp · Answer

They're letting it all out. Guys are pressured  by society to  keep things bottled up.

It intesifies almost any emotion. So if your sad you're going to cry and if you're angry you're going to wanna fight anyone you see

Lizzie25m · Answer

Cause they lose their inhibitions. Even I, as a girl, rarely cry over things, but when I'm drunk I can be a total mess.
