Alcohol always affects the nervous system and psyche in different ways. Some people calm down and fall asleep, while others become aggressive. This is dangerous not only for themselves, but also for those around them, so it is important to know what measures can be taken in a given situation. In some cases, it is easy to calm a person down on their own, but sometimes this is fraught with risk, so it is better to immediately seek help from specialists.
Causes of aggression in a drunken person
The nervous system is influenced by various external factors. Especially striking changes when drinking large doses of alcohol. The problem does not arise if the person drinks reasonably and does not refuse snacks. This makes it possible to evenly distribute the incoming ethanol, so its concentration remains within the normal range. When critical values are reached, unpleasant consequences are possible.
Ethyl alcohol is an aggressive substance that can destroy any cells in the body. In addition, ethanol increases the permeability of membranes, which leads to the unimpeded movement of various compounds throughout the body. This also applies to hormones. During the feast, the adrenal glands actively produce adrenaline. The concentration of this hormone in the blood can rise sharply, which will instantly affect human behavior.
Adrenaline is a compound responsible for arousal processes. In other words, the nervous system is activated, which externally will manifest itself with characteristic symptoms, such as:
- irritability;
- excitability;
- excessive activity;
- nervousness;
- panic;
- stress.
All of these signs provoke bouts of anger or aggression. The drinker's behavior suddenly changes. He can speak or shout loudly, actively gesticulate, try to defend his point of view, get involved in arguments or fights.
In the most severe cases, drunk people completely lose control over themselves and the situation.
They can commit inappropriate actions, and due to memory gaps the next day, they do not always remember what exactly happened.
It is important to understand that such a person will not calm down on their own. He urgently needs help from close people or doctors.
Types of aggression
Psychologists note that heavily drunk people behave differently. Aggression is common for many, but it manifests itself in different ways. For a clearer understanding of the problem, experts have identified several types of such a condition, each of which differs from others in its characteristics:
Psychologists say that serious aggression of any type has its causes. These can be head injuries or mental disorders. An already existing problem is exacerbated by the influence of ethyl alcohol, and the person himself loses control over his actions.
Early self help
Experts argue that inaction can be a fatal mistake, so the signs of aggression cannot be ignored. It is important to learn to recognize its approach in order to provide timely assistance at home. 
Alcohol does not trigger anger overnight. People get drunk gradually. Initially, the release of adrenaline into the blood improves mood, so a person becomes cheerful and joyful. It seems to him that all problems can be easily solved. He wants to communicate with other people, even if he is initially modest and shy.
Further, the drinker becomes confident in his abilities. He easily gets involved in disputes, often provokes them himself and actively expresses his point of view. When trying to doubt his correctness, the first outbursts of anger arise.
He can answer sharply and loudly, take offense at those who disagree, interrupt and prove that only he is right. All these are the first warning signs that, unfortunately, are often ignored. According to psychologists, actions need to be taken already at this stage.
If someone in the company of drinkers began to show aggression, but have not yet moved on to physical actions, you can try to help him on your own.
The first and main action is to restrict further alcohol consumption.
An increase in the concentration of ethanol in the blood will provoke even greater problems that are already unrealistic to solve at home.
An aggressive person should not be left alone, as anger can easily pass from strangers to its own person. With such people you need to talk about abstract topics. It takes every effort to divert attention from the subject of the dispute. You can talk about any pleasant topic, discuss good and positive memories. Gradually, the anger will soften, and the person will make contact more easily.
It is better if only one close relative or friend is in the room with the victim. Everyone else should leave the premises so as not to provoke new conflicts. If the aggression begins to go away, you need to win over the person.
It is important to agree with his opinion, listen, delve into and show your support. In most cases, this tactic will help you manage mild anger attacks in the early stages.
When to see a doctor
Aggression in drunkards is rapidly gaining momentum, so home help is not always appropriate. If the anger is too strong, then it is better to go to the doctors right away. This will avoid serious consequences that threaten health and life.
Doctors will help if, in addition to behavioral changes, physical symptoms are observed. So, you should pay attention to the general condition of a person. Deterioration is indicated by signs such as:
Even if the attack of aggression has passed, but the listed symptoms persist, there is still a danger. The risk remains high that anger and rage will resume, and the drunk himself will try to get involved in a fight with the people present.
Doctors warn that ethyl alcohol provokes excitement of the nervous system due to an increase in the concentration of adrenaline in the bloodstream, but this condition does not persist permanently. The central nervous system simply cannot withstand the load and at a certain moment it turns off. This is evidenced by confusion of speech, delirium, hallucinations. Later, the victim loses consciousness. This situation also requires emergency medical attention.
The actions of the doctors who arrived at the call will depend on the specific situation. As a rule, the drunk is taken to the hospital. If excessive aggression is manifested, sedatives or safe tranquilizers are administered to him. In other cases, the patient is given a dropper with substances that accelerate the elimination of ethyl alcohol and its oxidation products from the body.
Follow-up treatment
Doctors are sure that not every drinker begins to show aggression. Many people who drink alcohol simply turn off and fall asleep, and in the morning they begin to fight with a hangover. If the problem manifests itself, there may be mental disorders. 
This means that the likelihood of repeated attacks is high, and alcohol is not always needed to start them. It is possible to avoid this if you immediately identify what triggered the disorder. It can be a long-standing psychological trauma that can be corrected with a competent approach. For this reason, doctors are strongly advised to contact a psychotherapist or psychologist for advice. This measure is intended to prevent a repetition of the situation in the future.
In addition, for people prone to aggression, it is better to stop drinking alcohol or strictly control the amount of alcohol consumed. One glass of quality wine will not do any harm, but if drinking has become a habit, you need to start a fight.
There are many effective ways, including drug coding or a range of psychotherapeutic techniques.
When to contact the police
An aggressive drunk is a danger to himself and others, so all measures must be taken with caution. Probably, he does not control his behavior, so at any moment he can turn to physical actions. For this reason, doctors advise to be ready to immediately call the police.
Law enforcement officers are needed if a drunk begins to threaten anyone present.
It is required to seek help if an aggressive person picks up heavy or sharp objects. He can injure himself or others.
In some cases, the situation comes to serious bodily harm or physical violence. It is extremely dangerous to undertake anything on your own, since the person does not control his emotions.
As a rule, police officers come to such calls quickly. They manage to disarm the drunk and take him away without unnecessary action. Most often, further medical assistance is required in order to remove intoxication or remove from hard drinking.
There is one important rule to follow when contacting the police. An aggressive person should not notice a call for help. It is better if the call is made from the next room or from the street. In this case, you need to try to distract the attention of the drunk with a conversation.
Errors when interacting with a drunk person
It can be difficult to calm down a drunken aggressive person. 
Many who encounter this for the first time make a number of mistakes that entail a worsening of the situation and a complete out of control. Experts name the most common ones so that people can avoid negative consequences.
So, you cannot argue with someone who is showing aggression. This is a direct way to increase anger and provoke an outbreak of uncontrollable rage. Further, the drunk becomes uncontrollable, and it is no longer possible to cope with him on his own. He will refuse to make contact with those who tried to defend their point of view. There is a high likelihood of a fight with subsequent injury or injury. The only way out in such a situation is to call both doctors and policemen at the same time. You cannot get involved in a fight, argue, or shout. The drunk will perceive this as a retaliatory aggression, which will make him even more angry.
There is an effective, but very risky way to calm down a raging husband or an out of control wife. According to him, you need to offer another drink. This will give you the opportunity to buy time. In this case, someone else must call an ambulance or police, depending on the situation. The method is dangerous, since it is impossible to predict a person's behavior after the next dose of alcohol.
There is no need to try to give the person a sedative. Even safe tinctures, when combined with alcohol, can provoke an unpredictable reaction. The combination of sleeping pills with alcohol is fraught with loss of consciousness and cardiac arrest. Medications can only be used by doctors who have arrived at the call.
True aggression after drinking is rare. It should not be confused with excessive excitement or increased emotionality. The latter situations are easy to control.
It is almost impossible to calm an aggressive person at home, so there is no need to be afraid of medical help. Doctors know exactly how to deal with such patients. In some cases, the help of the police is required. Sometimes this is the only chance to preserve your own health and life.
Alcoholism can be called the scourge of humanity, since at all times this terrible addiction brought people a lot of tears and suffering. In a family where there is an addiction to alcohol, one should not try to look for normal human relations, nor love, nor care. Anger, hatred, and aggression in alcoholic intoxication often settle in it.
Alcoholics are inadequate people. Their behavior is often impulsive, unpredictable, contradictory, and their moods change dramatically: from complacent to spiteful. Alcohol causes aggression.
The degree of aggressiveness of people consuming alcoholic beverages is primarily influenced by the amount of ethyl alcohol that has entered the body. Drunkards acquire three main characteristics over time:
- A state of deep depression in the absence of the opportunity to consume another dose of strong drink;
- Unkempt appearance: dirty clothes, puffy face, often bruised or infected with sores;
- Revitalization and joyful sparkle in the eyes at the slightest hint of the possibility of a drink.
The chronic alcoholic often suffers from binge drinking, the binge period lasts for weeks. It is difficult to relieve the symptoms of alcohol intoxication. The patient suffers from a hangover syndrome. Depression becomes his constant companion, the general condition worsens, and efficiency decreases. Ethyl alcohol provokes a deterioration in speech, which becomes incoherent, slurred. Alcohol acts on the brain cells, as a result of which the alcoholic's memory is impaired. He can drink to such a state that he will not be able to recognize even relatives, friends, he can commit a crime against them. The wife and children are powerless to pacify a raging alcoholic. And the best way out in such a situation is to call the police.
Causes and stages of alcoholic aggression
Ethyl alcohol, which is part of alcohol, negatively affects the mental state of everyone, without exception, regardless of gender, age, degree of mental development, cultural level, financial situation, health status. The body's response to alcohol is virtually the same for all people:
- The first stage of intoxication is a complacent, elated mood, when everyone wants to smile, hug and kiss with everyone;
- More drunk - there is discontent with some people around, remembering past, seemingly long forgotten, grievances, large and small conflicts, unpleasant stories. The drunk begins to find fault with those next to him, insult them, bully, threaten with revenge, reprisal. He can no longer restrain himself, control his behavior, now he laughs, then he can burst into tears;
- The stage of strong intoxication is achieved with a large dose of alcohol. It comes the faster, the worse a person eats or when he mixes various alcoholic beverages. The drunk is literally reborn before our eyes, inadequately responds to requests from loved ones no longer continue to abuse alcohol, stop. He loses his shame, fiercely shouts at everyone who seemed to him to be an offender or an enemy, rushes into a fight, although he himself often has difficulty on his feet due to disturbances in the work of the brain, loss of coordination. Drunken shouts, offensive gestures, grimaces change a person beyond recognition. In a state of alcoholic intoxication, the husband grabs a knife, gun, matches, believing that around him there are people who hate him, enemies. He completely ceases to control himself and in this state he easily goes to crime.
The danger of alcoholic aggression
The time it takes a person to become a chronic alcoholic is individual for everyone, but not so long. The timing depends on age, gender, physical and mental health, the atmosphere in the family, the immediate environment.
Women and children, teenagers are becoming alcoholics faster than men. Physically healthy people who go in for sports last longer, but they too, over time, can fall into the category of addicts if they get carried away in pursuit of the "green snake".
Symptoms by which one can judge whether an alcohol dependence has formed in the body may be, at first, the disappearance of the gag reflex after taking alcohol, and later - swelling of the face, which cannot be eliminated without medication. They do not leave the faces of chronic alcoholics until the end of their lives.
Aggressive behavior of a drunk person is offensive to others and very dangerous. Often, a wife is forced to contact the police to protect her children and herself: the family of a drinker alone cannot deal with the misfortune that has befallen her. Frequent stress, fears, scandals, threats, beatings become unbearable, the family breaks up. Often, a person who has drunk excessively or has poisoned himself with low-quality drinks, dies early himself and can cause the death of other people.
After sobering up, people can regret their aggression, ask for forgiveness, suffer and cry, seeking reconciliation with those with whom they were in conflict the day before. They are ready to make promises not to touch anyone with a finger, not to hit, swear that everything was the last time and will never happen again. But a case turns up - and the loss of a family no longer seems terrible to an alcoholic.
Alcoholic aggression is very dangerous. In a drunken state, a person does not realize that he must stop, pull himself together. Giving advice to start a new life, to be treated at the time of drunkenness or hangover is useless. In most cases, the response to an offer will be a rejection. The problem must be solved when not a drop of alcohol has been drunk on a sober head.
The way to combat alcoholism and manifestations of aggression
Alcoholism is a serious, difficult-to-treat disease that must be treated. Alcohol dependence does not go away by itself: to eliminate it, you need long and persistent treatment, taking medications.
It is important to persuade an alcoholic to seek help from a narcologist, a psychologist, but not to drag him to a doctor by force. Success will come only when a person realizes that there is an abyss ahead, that he is standing on the edge of an abyss and he needs to find the strength to return to a normal, sober life.
Having consulted a psychologist, you do not need to retreat. Today, in many cities and towns, district polyclinics, there are drug treatment centers, where they will provide professional assistance to everyone who wishes to overcome their heavy addiction to alcohol.
It is very important that close people who are inclined towards recovery are close to them, who will show participation, control the course of treatment, support, protect from the temptation to drink, and help return to their old life.
Over time, through joint efforts, it is possible to achieve such a state when the former alcoholic calmly refuses the glass extended to him, takes care of his family, and rejoices in the positive manifestations of life. And, perhaps, it will help another lost person to get rid of alcohol that provokes aggression.
Life story
You can recall many sad stories related to the topic of "Alcohol and aggression". One young woman married a guy who occasionally drank. He did not consider himself an alcoholic, he refused to persuade his wife to be more careful, to avoid frequent drinks. The wife tried, as best she could, to convince her husband to lead a healthy lifestyle, hoping that having children would become an incentive for sobriety, but the miracle did not happen. The husband drank himself to death. He beat his wife and children. One in five children died as an infant. The family broke up. The woman raised four children alone, without receiving any support from her ex-husband: he continued to drink. On a cold winter night, a drunk man could not walk home, his hands were frostbitten. Lives alone. The eldest of the sons, having become an adult, followed the path of his father, got married, and a daughter was born in a young family. If only to rejoice in happiness. But in a state of severe intoxication, the young father voluntarily passed away. Such an incredible price paid for an addiction to alcohol ...
Stories from our readers
Saved a family from a terrible curse. My Seryozha has not been drinking for a year. We fought with his addiction for a long time and tried a bunch of remedies unsuccessfully during these long 7 years, when he started drinking. But we did it, and it's all thanks ...

An alcoholic is ready to endure as long as he is not aggressive, and therefore relatively safe. But when aggression begins to prevail, it becomes scary both for oneself and for the children.
Behavioral changes against the background of alcoholism in the family are especially pronounced. According to experts, domestic violence is present in four cases out of ten.
Causes of aggression
Some observers directly associate the causes of aggression with the effects of alcohol on and indicate what changes occur in behavior:
- not aggressively restrained;
- sexually impulsive;
- who have reached the level of fury of others.
Often external factors become the cause of aggressive behavior: a real threat, jealousy, etc.
It is noticed that sometimes aggressive behavior in a state of alcoholic intoxication is exacerbated on the basis of previously transferred pathological changes in a person: mental illness, craniocerebral trauma, etc.
At the first stage of alcoholism, the place of euphoria is gradually replaced by aggressiveness, rudeness and irritability. In the second and last stages, the effects of the poison become more severe.
Dysphoric disorders during the period of withdrawal manifest themselves in different ways:
- grouchiness;
- discontent;
- explosive nature of emotions;
- aggressiveness.
What should a woman know?
Since alcoholic aggression of men is more common, experts have studied the problem from a different point of view: how a woman can “calculate” the behavior of her chosen one in advance.
Here are the signs of men prone to aggression and violence.
Approximately every third child, beaten in childhood, takes its toll over the years and this is reflected in the future family. You can neglect this and try to correct the person, persuade him to undergo the appropriate treatment. But is it worth it?
Not only women break dishes. Most likely, such men have lost the sense of self-control and one day someone from the family may get “under the arm” of them.
Sometimes girls themselves provoke a surge of jealousy. You need to be extremely careful: feelings are one thing, and gratuitous nagging is another.
These are not all the reasons why you can "calculate" the behavior of your future half. Add alcohol to them and imagine what an explosive “cocktail” of aggression can turn out to be!
Alcoholism and suicide
WHO cites alarming figures: in every 4-6th case, autoaggression, suicide occurs among alcoholics. Having summarized the facts, we found that it pushes to take a rash step.
Depression and personality disorder.
Psychopathy under the influence of psychoactive substances.
Domestic problems: divorce, the threat of losing a relative, the hopelessness of returning debts, etc.
Practices put auto-aggressive and suicidal behavior among alcoholics and criminals on the same level. The only difference is in the primary reasons. But does it make it easier for those who live nearby!
Let's take a close look at people and try to choose the right partner and friend for ourselves, so that it is pleasant with him and in the company, and it is not dangerous to live next to him.

The impact of ethyl alcohol on the psycho-emotional state of a person has been known since ancient times, like alcohol itself. Drink alcohol to relax and calm down. However, someone after a glass or two comes into a complacent mood, and someone falls into a state that can be described as alcoholic aggression.

Causes of aggressive behavior while intoxicated
Scientists have conducted studies that investigated the possible causes of aggressive behavior while intoxicated. As a result, several theories have been put forward.
- Return to primitive state
Ethyl alcohol is toxic to the body and has a strong effect on the cells of the central and peripheral nervous system. Penetrating into the brain, alcohol provokes massive death of its neurons. The ability to control one's own actions, to analyze one's own and other people's actions decreases. A person cannot fully assess the situation and react adequately. Our brain is a complex structure that has undergone various transformations in the course of evolution. The ancient brain was formed the very first, it makes us related to the representatives of the animal world, and is responsible for instincts, unconditioned reflexes and emotions. The cortex of the human brain occupies more than 40% of its total volume, which is not found in any other representative of the terrestrial fauna. Most of the cortex is made up of the neocortex - the new brain. This structure is everything that we acquire during life, all knowledge and skills, including the ability to self-control. Under the influence of ethanol, the inhibitory functions of the cortex are weakened, and the ancient subcortical parts of the brain come to the fore, forcing a person to react and think rather primitively. , including, to demonstrate aggression. For our ancestors, such behavior was normal and served as a guarantee of survival, and the acquisition of the neocortex in the process of evolution made us "civilized." Under the influence of alcohol, the control on the part of the new brain is weakened, and the person returns to a primitive state, where only by force can the emerging issues be resolved. - Intoxication
There are other theories to explain aggression in alcohol intoxication. According to one of them, a person begins to demonstrate such behavior at a certain stage of alcohol intoxication. At the first stage of intoxication, people feel elated, mild euphoria. Continuing to drink, the person falls into a state of despondency, apathy, becomes irritable. It is in the second phase of intoxication that, according to psychologists, aggressive behavior can manifest itself. - Distorted perception
According to another theory, aggression is manifested in a drunkard in response to an external irritant factor. At the same time, it can be both real and misinterpreted due to the perception distorted under the influence of alcohol. Old grievances may emerge, a person may experience jealousy, anger, irritation. Under the influence of negative emotions, any provocation from others is taken as an impetus to demonstrate aggression. Do not forget that others can also be intoxicated and react inadequately. So people find a reason for insults or a fight, as they say, "out of the blue." - Mental lability
In addition, the intake of alcoholic beverages can provoke an outburst of negative emotions in people with a labile psyche, prone to impulsive actions, conflict and other features of character and behavior.
Factors affecting the manifestation of aggression in a state of alcoholic intoxication
It has been proven that people who are addicted to alcohol are more likely to exhibit aggressive behavior when intoxicated. Drinking alcohol by a person who does not suffer from alcoholism rarely leads to aggression. Even in a state of strong intoxication, he does not show negative emotions, but, as a rule, goes to sleep.
Our regular reader shared an effective method that saved her husband from ALCOHOLISM. It seemed that nothing would help, there were several codings, treatment at the dispensary, nothing helped. An effective method, which was recommended by Elena Malysheva, helped. EFFECTIVE METHOD
In alcoholics, as a result of constant ethanol poisoning, massive neuronal death occurs. In the second and third stages of addiction, there is a decrease in intellectual abilities and moral degradation. Such people radically change their ideas about what is permissible and what is unacceptable, they can commit any crime without thinking about the consequences.
In addition to alcoholism, the following conditions can affect the propensity for aggression:
- traumatic brain injury;
- mental disorders, which are characterized by deviant behavior;
- character traits that are not a deviation from the norm (impulsivity, quarrelsomeness, rudeness);
- low culture, lack of education, low level of intelligence;
- a state of strong nervous tension, depression.
Types and danger of alcoholic aggression
As a result of the weakening of the inhibitory functions of the cerebral cortex under the influence of alcohol, a person is not able to predict the consequences of his behavior, therefore, he can commit any illegal actions. Psychology considers different types of aggressive behavior:
- physical - a person commits violent actions against others with the use of force;
- verbal - a drunk person insults others, shouts, provokes others;
- altruistic - a distorted perception of what is happening makes a person protect someone from danger, moreover, sometimes in the absence of a real threat;
- directed at oneself, and not outside - a drunk is trying to harm himself, this type includes attempts at suicide while intoxicated, drunk driving.
People with alcohol addiction, as a rule, have many problems: in the family, at work. Drinking alcohol exacerbates the negative perception of life, contributes to the outburst of repressed emotions. Such people seek solace in alcohol, but in reality they only make more problems.
According to statistics, the most serious and cruel crimes are committed while intoxicated. A person whose actions are dictated by the ancient brain is guided only by instinct, negative emotions, while he is completely unable to adequately assess the possible consequences. Law enforcement officials noticed that the more brutal the crime is committed, the more likely it is that it was committed under the influence of alcohol.
Police statistics indicate that most often people who are intoxicated are:
- commit attacks and violent actions against others, show sexual aggression;
- cause material damage, damage property that does not belong to them;
- terrorize family members both mentally and physically.
At the same time, men are more inclined to demonstrate aggressive behavior. This makes the situation even more dangerous for the family of the drinker, since males have greater physical strength. If the husband and father are prone to aggressive behavior in a state of intoxication, it is necessary to look for ways to deal with such manifestations.
How to calm an aggressive alcoholic
The difficulty is that a distorted perception and an inability to adequately assess what is happening make it difficult to explain to a drunk person the danger of his behavior. Verbal influences do not bring results. Appealing to conscience is useless, insisting on treatment, persuading - too.
Psychologists advise using one of the behavioral strategies to calm an aggressive drunk person.
The listed methods can help temporarily, once. This behavior works against verbal aggression, but will not help if the drunk is prone to violent actions.
If there is a problem of alcoholism, then it needs to be solved radically.
Treatment of aggression in alcoholic intoxication
Treatment is necessary when alcohol use and violent behavior is intermittent. In this case, it is very difficult to overcome the addiction on your own.
Decision making should be done in a sober way, as a person needs to fully understand the problem. The difficulty is that people who are addicted to alcohol do not believe that they are sick and do not intend to be treated. Therefore, it is very important to convince a person that only refusal to drink alcohol will save his family from destruction and will not lose his job.
If an alcoholic does not give in to persuasion, continues to drink, behave aggressively, cause moral and physical suffering to his family, then you can try medications that reduce the craving for alcohol. They can be bought online or at the pharmacy and given secretly from the drinker. The effectiveness of such treatment is controversial, since such methods do not always help.
Perhaps the following facts will help convince the aggressor to give up alcohol:
- every fourth road traffic accident in Russia is the fault of a drunk driver;
- two thirds of offenses are committed by drunk people;
- excessive alcohol consumption causes severe damage to the central nervous system and liver, 80% of which are fatal.
Treatment is carried out by an experienced narcologist who will select a therapy program. The choice of method depends on the degree of alcoholism, the duration of the abuse, the age and general condition of the alcoholic. Treatment is carried out both with the help of medications and with the use of psychotherapeutic techniques.
Support from family and friends is of great importance. They must take an active part in the treatment, support the person morally. After all, if a person behaves aggressively while intoxicated, then they are interested in getting rid of alcohol addiction, first of all, his family members.
Aggression with strong alcoholic intoxication often accompanies drinking people. You need to know its causes and remember that treatment should be under the supervision of a doctor.
Quite often, after constant large doses of alcohol, some people become different from themselves. The manifestation of aggression during alcohol intoxication is a very common occurrence these days. Moreover, both young people and quite adults, regardless of gender, are exposed to it. Often a person is simply capable of losing control of his actions, and inappropriate behavior will be a vivid confirmation of this. Subsequently, even quite serious disturbances in the functioning of many body systems are possible, the cause of which will be intoxication. The two concepts themselves - aggression and alcohol are very closely related to each other. And the treatment of such an ailment is simply necessary.
Causes of aggression in alcohol intoxication
Alcohol-induced aggression
The group of scientists who dealt with this issue came to the consensus that ethyl alcohol is the cause of aggressive behavior, because it has a direct effect on the human psyche. At different stages of alcohol intoxication, a person can be unstable in character, he often does not hold back his words, actions and emotions.
After a certain amount of alcohol drunk, a person will feel a certain euphoria, excellent mood and lightness. But, not much time will pass, and these sensations will start to go away. They are replaced by irritability, despair and anger. We need to figure out what to do with such a patient.
It is at this time that a drinking person becomes quite dangerous both for the people around him and for his family in particular. Many actions of loved ones can simply anger him, provoke him to rash actions. Often in this state, old grievances, jealousy of others are remembered, or accumulated anger emerges.
Alcohol can cause crime
Another effect may be due to trauma suffered by a person, in particular, concussions or any mental disorders. It can no longer do without conflicts and threats to other people.
If we consider the aggressive state of the drinker, then most often it manifests itself in the third stage. Then there is a direct threat to both the close people of the drinker and the most ordinary passers-by.
There are times when the patient understands the need for treatment, but still shows some aggression. This is due to withdrawal symptoms, which have their effect on the human psyche. There is a huge craving to take a certain dose of alcohol, and therefore unfriendliness, hostility and an aggressive state can occur.
This behavior can also manifest itself in those people who were usually very quiet and never showed the slightest sign of aggression.
The result of the constant intake of alcoholic beverages will be the complete degradation of a person. In this state, he does not think about what is hurting others. Constant conflicts are becoming the norm, and if you do not show concern about the drinking person in time and do not help him, then a lethal outcome can be more than real.
What to do with alcohol intoxication aggression?
Aggression in alcoholism is dangerous for others
Anyone who is around a drunk person who is clearly aggressive will be at risk. It is not known what the drinker will want to do in the next couple of minutes. Therefore, in the light of such events, relatives either try to somehow protect themselves and the children, or simply leave home. A person in an aggressive state due to alcohol intoxication becomes a real problem for his family. Indeed, sometimes the situation is aggravated to such an extent that you have to call the police.
To cope with aggression, you need to adhere to some rules.
- Initially, it is important that the drinker himself wants his recovery. Alcoholism, like drug addiction, causes a certain attachment. The drinker will reach for the bottle over and over again. And if you do not take another portion of alcohol, a person begins to feel some kind of withdrawal, just like drug addicts do.
- Very often people who are intoxicated think that they can stop drinking at any time, although this is not the case. It will be simply useless to prove anything. And any attempts to influence the patient and somehow restrain him will end in failure. And in this case, no one is immune from a new outbreak of aggression.
- It is necessary to talk about treatment when the patient is completely sober and is able to adequately perceive the whole situation. This explanation takes more than one month, but it is the most effective way to influence. Of course, in such a matter, you simply cannot do without the help of doctors.
Treatment of aggression in alcoholic intoxication
Apathy can turn into aggression
Initially, it is worthwhile to understand that it is simply impossible to figure out this problem on your own, without the help of specialists. There is a possibility that talking with the patient can lead to understanding and compromise. But, at the same time, there is a good chance that such a "non-aggression pact" is concluded for a day or two, until the bottle falls into the patient's hands again. Then aggression and alcohol intoxication, scandals and fights will be repeated over and over again.
That is why it is very important that the person understands the need for treatment and return to a normal and peaceful life without alcohol.
At this time, you should see a specialist who will help you choose the best method of dealing with the disease and help you start the course of treatment itself.
Important aspects:
- Choosing a doctor. There are more than enough specialists in this matter now, and there are quite a few clinics that help those who drink. Ideally, professionals find a certain approach to each of their clients, which will help in the future to bring him on the right path in life, so that aggression no longer manifests itself.
