. Alcohol decreases self-control and critical thinking, so a person who is more prone to anger and impulsivity will exhibit even more hostile behavior. Furthermore, a 2011 study conducted by researchers from Ohio State University found that participants who were apt to focus more on the present rather than the future were more aggressive and unable to foresee consequences to their actions, which was compounded when they drank.

I have been on the receiving end of this too many times to count. It really hit home with me when I read about how alcoholism has many aspects of narcissitic personality disorder in it.
I have loved people and hated what this disease did to them It definitely has a place within my ptsd. Many here are familiar with my long ongoing challenge with my older sister. One time my husband witnessing how bad she can get, turned to me and said "She acts like an alcoholic, is she still drinking, maybe she is a closet drinker?" And then he said "She may be a dry drunk", all I know is she can sure go into some damn scary rages. I do know that for a while she did drink and get high a lot. I don't see her enough now to know either way.
