Hello lybrate-user. I'm so sorry to hear this. Alcohol is an addictive substance and any person can get dependant on it, especially if used over a long time or in heavy amounts. It is common for a person to lose his inner inhibitions and sensibility under alcohol intoxication, and get aggressive with oneself or others. To help with this, the best option is to consult your psychiatrist for a detoxification program.

addiction is a disease. It will increase slowly, even we can not understand when it increases. It's better to stop the alcohol totally. If you want fun you can take intrest to develop your other hobbies like reading books, listening music, playing sports etc which will be healthy for your life.

Have a good day & have a speedy recovery.
