How To Not Get Angry

[Lexx23]

Everytime I drink lately I feel super angry. I don't smoke pot so does anyone know how to combat this?

Set and setting. Why are you getting angry? Did you have a bad day, are the people around you making you unhappy? Are you unhappy with the current state of your life. Environment and atmosphere like with all drugs including alcohol have a huge impact on the "high". As well as mental state of mind prior to using. There is no easy fix, except try to figure out what causes you unhappiness and anger in your current life, that you more easily see and express anger toward when drunk, and then try to change your life so that those reasons ur unhappy or angry get replaced with happiness and being content. Hope this made sense.

Not the answer you want to hear but don't drink or drink less. Alcohol does something to (most) people with alcoholism in their families that changes them into a different person. It's scary to witness.

Maybe drink alone so you don't hurt anyone.

^This...I know a lot of people who get violent when they are drunk but they refuse to let the booze alone. It mostly results in police complains, lawsuits and unnecessary drama for everyone involved.
Just last weekend someone I know got taken into the sobering up cell and now has 6 different offenses for which he has to go to court for...
If alcohol makes you angry the maybe it is not for you. Maybe try some weed instead? (insert old hippie argument that it makes people calm and peaceful)

Set and setting.

Basically this. It's mostly mental. Tim Leary spoke about set & setting in the context of psychedelic drugs but it really goes for anything even for the psychology of everyday life. Set you control: it's your mental state, you can do a lot of therapeutic, meditational, etc. exercises to get yourself in a certain place but moreover just setting yourself up to be determined to move in a certain positive direction, but that's not just for an infant, that's for you, your child, and everyone else. Therapy, especially cognitive-behavioral therapy, can be very helpful in these kinds of situations, it's basically about changing your mental responses to various situations from something automatic to something that's well thought out and healthy. This needs the work of a professional although it sounds so simple. Can't advise too much before but it's important stuff. Know your past, know your present, make changes for your future,
