Outbursts

• People with BPD are prone to emotional outbursts and fits of rage. Imbibing alcohol only makes these outburst more likely, because intoxication, particularly heavy intoxication, loosens remaining inhibitions about wild behavior. This behavior has a lasting, negative effect on the durability of friendships and romantic relationships, and is more frequently with frequent alcohol consumption. The resulting deterioration of interpersonal relationships leads directly to much more serious effects.
