When I used to drink -and a lot- I occasionally had meltdowns, often resulting in crazy/out of control arguments with my then husband (who also drank and would have meltdowns of his own -nice pair). By sometime that night or the next day (which at times were the same thing) meltdown would be over, guilt and shame setting in.
But since I stopped drinking (or almost entirely) I haven't had any such experiences. For me, at least, it was the extreme drinking -toxic, hell on the mood and cognitive processing (to put it lightly). I'm not sure any medication can help that much with meltdowns stemming from substances -the chemicals in the substances can way outdo those in medications.
And drinking + huge amounts of stress, as in your case, that can lead to a pretty explosive situation -your defenses are down.
