at the moment it seems to be the only thing that comforts them and makes them forget about what happen and it heals there pain for the moment... it brings them happines the moment there drunk sometimes
-
I am guilty of this myself...We(men) drink a lot to put our minds somewhere else..It's a temporary solution, yet affective at the same time. It usually lasts until you find someone else.
-
They are medicating themselves from the pain that comes from losing a loved one. Alcohol is a very powerful drug.
-
Must not be true of all men because I do not behave as such. I have also seen many women who drink heavy after a break-up.
-
some men do because they feal they can drink there problems away witch when they get un drunk they just wake back up to reality and then drink more
-
Same reason women do...the more you drink the less you feel.
-
i dont know. i've noticed that with my two ex boyfriends. They drank so much and became people I was glad I got away from even though at the time of our relationship they were great.
-
We drink a lot when we haven't split from a partner. Drinking is what we do. However, if you want a reason, I'd say it's because we want to forget how much we fucked up by trusting the woman and opening up to her, when we knew better than to do that.
-
because theyre alcoholics? or maybe theyre on a bender due to relationship blues?
-
because your standards get lower and you might not end up sleeping alone, at least that night...lol
-
To dull the pain, frustration, to escape.
-
because we can finally come home in a rotten state and not get in trouble? :). PS: Making us sleep on the couch is fine. Its just like camping.. with a TV. and playstation. I dont consider that a dog box lol
-
I dont think this relates to just men, women do it as well. It is to get away from things. Your mind isnt coherent as much as to what is going on when people are that drunk. This type of "relief" however turns people into alcoholics though.
-
Men (and women) drink to avoid their (to them) unpleasant reality. When you're drunk, you have given yourself permission to remove yourself from all that is bothering you,....be it only temporary. I also think it's related to your upbringing....in my family, there was always drinking involved...(to celebrate initially)...but depending on your character it becomes something you do, happy or sad.
-
Because you're never alone with a bottle, that's why. It's the women that complain incessantly about our unceasing drinking, and it's the women's fault we do it in the first place. It's a situation that has no resolution. Like having to go to the circus in your sister's underwear because yours has been grabbed up for the wash (etc.).
-
Celebrating
-
i dont think its just men, i have gotten pretty paraletic over my spilt
-
oh and we have to train up again as well be catching up with our mates more and drinking more again lol
-
To make themselves feel numb inside.
-
I think everyone does
-
Either to celebrate or numb the pain.
-
maybe they didn't want to split and it is easier to deal with if you are numb and you reality is far off. i have seen a man drunk for the last seven years dealing with a breakup and he is still going strong but i cannot help him anymore because it is bringing me down and i see no way out of it for him except to be put in a program which he feels he doesn't need. he says if i quit smoking he will quit drinking, i quit 3 days ago and he is still drinking. maybe he should just go back to his ex that is also an alcoholic that is dying of a liver disease but still drinks like a fish. misery needs company, right?
-
Personally, I think it is because they cannot deal with reality and if they had turned to the bottle instead of facing their problems...well then its probably better that you got out when you did. Its a sign of a weak personality!!!!!!
-
They think the answer to all their problems lies at the bottom of a pint glass, when it fact it dosn't at all but still they keep looking.
-
im not sure it could be the fact that a part of them still loves them or it them celebrating that they now can find the one they actually love
-
Probably because they think it helps them get over the pain of it. it doesnt, it just brings back the memories when you sober up and makes you feel worse and wreck your liver. Drink does nothing. or if in a different situation, they could be celebrating a split.
-
men don't deal as well with their emotions as women so they do what they can to forget about how they are feeling
-
THEY ENJOY THE LIBERATION.
-
The same reason anyone would. To escape from his insecure thoughts. It dumbs you down enough that you just don't care anymore.
-
At the time, losing consciousness was the only way to forget her.
-
it probably makes them feel better. it prolly calms them too
-
Preferably in the immediate 30 days after break up. When they eventually sober up they are at peace to continue on with their life. Seriously though, that only counts when they have been dissed or cheated on. I think a mutual break up is easier to swallow than broken love. For some unearthly reason too friends advise alcohol as a quick remedy for break ups.
-
I have no idea. Im not much of a drinker. The gym is my diversion. Drinking is nothing more than a diversion from life. Like any other drug.
-
Ever heard the phrase "cryin' in your beer"? Thats whats going on here.
-
Drinking makes them 4get their worries, until they are sober!
-
To drown thier sorrows. It's not just men, a lot of women handle the situation the same way.
-
It's a crutch..like promiscous sex, drugs, overeating..it dulls the pain temporarily..of course, in so doing, you're creating other problems. But at the time you are not thinking clearly. :)
-
It is self-medicating ( wrongfully ), and seeks to indulge in "woe is me", but there is an honest attempt to get some kind of understanding and closure in there as well. It is to numb the heart of a real pain that perhaps no woman can really understand.
-
i guess they're just looking for a distraction to get their mind out of it and not feel the pain anymore. i bet if he had no bars close by but had a ps3 there, he'd be playin that 24/7
-
Because their partner wouldn't let them drink while in the relationship!!!
-
i guess that when they get drunk it makes them feel good , cause when anyone gets drunk they feel like they have forgottan everything .. they feel out of the world. so in my opinion men get drunk when they split up from a partner cause it helps them to forget the pain . its not easy to break up you know !!
-
Because it f**ks our heads up when some of us break up.
-
It depends...If I just broke up with a life sucking black hole of a woman..Then I drink to party and go out and have a good time with the guys. If a great woman just ended it with me and I feel bad about it then getting drunk not only makes me feel like I am punishing myself but it makes me pass out earlier and stops me from thinking about her all night and it gets me to drunk dial her at odd hours and once again when I wake up its like a punishment. It's beer...it's good for everything and bad for everything.
-
makes you feel like your forgetting your sorrows when in all reality we dont forget about it we just make it twice as work alcohol makes people more emotional more vulnerable and less logical when thinking about things that have effected them dramatically
-
It numbs the pain!!I'm just recovering from a breakup.Luckily I didn't become an alcoholic
-
the only answer that matters: because they are weak. this is scientific fact. men NEED women. even in a homosexual relationship basic dynamics dictate that one is the "male" and the other is the "female." women heal themselves after a breakup with a new pair of shoes. men drink themselves stupid, or have internet sex with strange women. FACT. amirite???
-
if the man really loved a woman they try to drink away their pain even though it comes right back in the morning it can also be a case for women to i was in love with this guy for along time and all of asudden he broke up with me...i was hurting really bad but i got drunk one night and forgot all about that i was painfree:) for awhile
-
because they really loved the girl and they want her back
-
I guess it must be so they can block out their feelings,makes sense,I do it 2. Or used to.But I always used to stay at home and brood and guys usually are out on the town with all their mates whooping it up.Its sad,sometimes I wish I could be like a guy,but that way you also miss out on a lot of other amazing things as well as the pain.We really are very different arent we!
-
if they drink after one break up and not the other..does that mean one was harder to deal with? did they love that person more who they felt they had to drink away?
-
to comfort themselves!
-
with or without their partner that persons going to drink. I did it once when my sons father and i spilt up i started to drink a lot to where i would forget what happens and just pass out and then i would wake up sad still depressed and then i would just do it all over again one day that persons just may snap out of it and get it together but its got to be when they r ready to "get right"
-
it's just something to take your mind off of whatever it may be you don't want to think about
-
They want to get the bad feeling outta there mind life i was depressed when my girlfriend says she just wants to be friends......
-
Helps you forget what you've lost.
