Q: Alcohol Poisoning

Hiya...
Just wanted to share a few of my recent experiences with everyone and see if anyone knows what could be the root cause...

I rarely drink, probably went out drinking 3 times in the last 6 months or so, tho everytime i manage to get completly drunk to the point of extreme confusion, I dont know who i am, where im supposed to be going, what im supposed to be doing, couldn't recognise anyone if you slapped me in the face and told me it was my mother.

Additionally i mange to say lots of hurtful things to several close people, girlfriend, friends and family, (depending who im out with or over the phone)
Most people take it for what it is, matts drunk and talkin gibberish, tho my girlfriend is really not happy, regardless of the fact i dont know what im doing, im doing it to her, insults (which can be pretty harsh), scaring her to death with her thinking i could be getting run over, falling into a canal ect.

Dont get me wrong, i know the actual cause of this is drinking alcohol but why does this affect me and how come i can never remember any of this? normally lasts for a couple of hours and i tend to go off on my own when im in the said state. I really dont want to lose my relationship because of this and obviously the threat of my relationship is enough to cause me to look at this seriously and slow right down when im occasionally out.

Any advise, shocks, information would be great?

Thanks.. Matt
