Is it normal to change when drinking alcohol?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes, alcohol can change your mood, confidence, and behavior. How you change varies, and being drunk doesn’t excuse behavior that hurts you or someone else.
Alcohol affects judgment and lowers inhibitions, so you might become more talkative, emotional, impulsive, sleepy, or irritable than you are sober. Lots of people notice some kind of shift, and it can vary depending on how much you drink and the situation.
If you often behave in ways you regret, get aggressive, or can’t remember what happened, take that as a good reason to cut back or avoid drinking. Alcohol may explain the change, but it doesn’t make its impact on other people disappear.
