My partner becomes so mean and nasty after drinking. Do you think alcohol makes some people mean - or do they just let their guard down to reveal their true self?

A bit of both. More to the point is what he is going to do about it. If he stops drinking so he doesn't keep being nasty and toxic I'd say he is a nice guy. If he keeps drinking so he continues to be mean and toxic then I'd say he is an asshole!
I think some people turn into assholes when mixed with alcohol. Maybe they do have issues theyre controlling when sober.. the truth comes out yeah.
If my family or partner told me i was a mean asshole when trashed i would not drink before i risked doing that again. If he keeps doing it anyway, yeah, hes an asshole. If its always at you and always along the same lines i would say be extra careful, he knows what hes doing and its abuse.
My partner is the nicest and sweetest guy normally but when he drinks to the point of getting drunk he is such an arse, which is why he doesn't get drunk anymore.
My husband behaves differently depending on what he's drinking. If he is drinking spirits, he turns into an instant arsehole.
I think, for him, it's a mix of what he truley feels and a bit of bit noting himself
My mothers partner turns into an arsehole when drinking.
Kicked me out of the house (I was living with them, I was 18) because I stuck up for my mother who he was verbally abusing.
He did this multiple times whilst drunk.
There have been multiple times whilst drunk that he's told my mother he hates her and to leave. On that night/morning (New Years) I got a message from my mum saying that she was going to commit suicide because of the way he treated her whilst drunk.
I rushed over that morning to stop her, but they had sobered up and we're happy families!!
I HATE him when he's drunk.
I believe a drunk person says what they feel, but are too afraid to say sober.
Absolutely! Some types of alchohol affect people differently too! When my partner drinks red wine he is a complete prick, when he drinks anything else he's ok, annoying like most drunk men but ok.
Yes I agree.. I am a usually happy go lucky person when I drink.. however I grew up with an alcoholic mother soooo bad aweful... my partner is a shit and when I drink with him I escalate very bad I wanna die but with noone else.. he makea me mad but drink gives me the milage its bad and im aware I never want end up like my mum.. however not like me too around my asshole hubby but its really depends on the situation
I don't think it's their true self. I have a few alcoholics in my family, my partner and my brother are both angry drunks. I have thought there may be an underlying anger issue that hasn't been resolved. Put them both together and they will be fighting in five minutes they have ruined many special occasions it's not on. Just be careful because if your partner drinks regularly and gets nasty well it can damage your relationship over time. My partner of 17 years is a good man sober but soon as he has a few beers than poof different person nasty and argumentative. It has broken our bond unfortunately but we are still working on it for now....
