Why does alcohol make me want to cry now?

[Anonymous]

Alcohol use to make me happy and want to have fun but anymore when I hit a certain point. It just makes me sad and want to bawl my eyes out. I don't normally cry sober it's very rare I do. I'm not one to show emotion too much in person. I kind of love getting drunk and being able to cry though in a way but at the same time it feels awful

I do not have experience buying alcohol so I once went to a fish and chips store and ordered a certain alcoholic drink on their menu, alone. Not having experience with alcohol, I was expecting a half cup or quarter cup of wine and what I got instead was this gigantic bowl that was very very hard to drink because of how big it was. I did not get drunk but I felt miserable after I consumed that much alcohol in one day. I asked about it online afterwards and I heard that alcohol is sometimes a depressant that makes you feel worse.

You've peaked.

think of it like taking an antihistamine. it will stop working after seven days because your body builds up in immunity to it. you're getting a different result of alcohol because your body is building a tolerance. it is a foreign substance your body does not want in it.

Alchohol brings out what lays dormant inside you.

My father is usually not very emotional or loving but when he drinks he becomes very sweet and loving and talkative.

My mother usually a crazy mother ben who always worry about things and a kill joy but when she is drunk, she is very funny and carefree.

İ am usually very emotionally guarded and unable to show any vulnerability, but when i am drunk i become vulnerable to the point falling asleep in the arma of strangers and share my story.

I've read that in the later stages of alcoholism the brain and nervous system gets so used to the impact of alcohol that the euphoric effect turns into a depressing effect.

As a relationship coach, I'm here to help unravel these emotional twists. Alcohol can be a sneaky little truth serum, lowering inhibitions and letting those bottled-up feelings loose. You're experiencing the transformation from happy-go-lucky to tearful because alcohol affects your brain chemistry, dopamine, and serotonin. 🥹 But hey, who doesn't love a good cry sometimes, right? It's okay to let it out, but remember to keep an eye on your emotional well-being, love. If you find comfort in crying, maybe explore those feelings a little more with self-reflection or talking to someone you trust. Keep rocking that introspection! 💫

Well, because you’re a pussy to put it bluntly.

You can’t handle alcohol because you are weak. It’s time to start searching the internet or possibly consulting a psychologist for ways to improve your mental toughness.

Time to swallow a spoonful of concrete and harden the fuck up.

And you are an example of why people should never share personal stuff on the internet

@McLlovin but am I wrong? I mean are we going to split hairs here?

I'd consider what's making you cry.. it's not the alcohol. I'd also consider that drinking to feel a certain emotion isn't entirely healthy. Feel free to message me if you'd like to discuss further, or need an ear.

well what type of emotional state are you in when you start drinking lol

Alcohol may not seem like it but it is classified as a depressant. It can absolutely make you feel worse.

[Kingofkings1992]

A depressant doesn’t mean it makes you depressed. That means it slows down the central nervous system. Where people make that mistake is that anti-depressant does mean it relieves depression symptoms.

[Nikki1989]

Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant.

Alcohol like everything else make people cry due to being overpriced.

[Kingofkings1992]

Do you tend to drink alcohol to excess? Regular alcohol abuse, just like the abuse of any other substance, will throw off a person’s natural brain chemistry.

I would advise you to address those thoughts that make you cry when drunk after you sober up

[Crazzyyworld]

That’s funny. I can’t drink. Only thing I feel is headache red face and stomachache.

[Crazzyyworld]

You cry out for sugar mama

[QuietRunner]

It also lowers all the inhibitions, so if someone might not normally cry in a situation they may cry now

When I drink alone and am not listening to music I get in my feels
