This is a really interesting question, k123! I'm intrigued to see how others respond.
As for me, I (like grey) find that my traits are much more exaggerated when I've been drinking. Specifically, my impulsiveness and reckless behaviour can be much more dangerous to me. I also find that my everyday feelings of guilt (for any reason), emptiness, and unhappiness are multiplied a thousand fold the next day.
I don't drink very much any more. I've recently recognized that I had a problem with alcohol and the way it makes me behave, so I limit myself to a beer or a glass of wine once in a while, and only when I'm safe at home or with people I trust.
