When someone bipolar drinks during a BP episode, be it depressed, manic or hypomanic, do people tell you that you look and act differently than other people that drink?

Also, has drinking ever triggered a manic/hypomanic/depressed episode? When this happens, have you ever had it with just a small amount of alcohol? Like a glass of wine or two?

When alcohol triggers an episode, does the alcohol make it more intense compared to having an episode without the alcohol?

I hope I'm being clear, if not, please ask me what needs to be clarified.
