Does anyone else have difficulty tolerating or dealing with friends or family when they are drunk?  I don't drink because I can't stand the stuff and don't like the feeling of being out of control.  But I also find my tolerance for friends and family is much less when they have been drinking.  I don't know if this is an autism thing because it changes their behaviour, or if I am just being oversensitive, but I would be interested in hearing other perspectives.  I would also be interested if anyone does have the same problem to know any coping strategies or how you deal with it?

  • I do drink a little, a glass of wine with a dinner, 1-2 ciders soccially once a month

    but I try to avoid getting tipsy even, I don't like losing control, I did get drunk few times at uni, and I usually get either over-sentimental or cocky and reckless

    and I can't stand drunk and drunkards, my 'dad' was heavy drunkard, tormenting my mom, me and my sisters untill he drunk himself to the death after 40 years of it, shortly before christmas, some 10 years ago, the best present ever, I don't know exactly when, I avoided receiving that message, or where he is buried, it's time to erase him from my memories

    If I am forced to interact with someone who is drunk I find it hard to avoid hiding my disaproval
