Some signs go zero to one hundred.
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Jan 12, 2017
There are times when you need to lose control a little bit. We all blow off steam, get loose, and do things that are out of our regular comfort zone. It's good for our sanity to shake things up a bit and unwind.
Think about how you party when you’re done with finals or the fun of spring break. You don’t need to be in college to need a break from your ordinary everyday behavior.
It can be good for you to let go every now and then, but constant out of control behavior can be a sign of a problem.
It’s best to let yourself go with moderation — getting drunk every day stops being a fun thing to do and becomes an addiction or a way to self-medicate and cover up another problem. When you get wasted every day you start to do some real damage to your body, and depending on how you act when completely you’re completely stupid, you can lose friends.
No one wants to be around someone who can’t control themselves and is in constant party mode, long after the parties have ended.
We all have different degrees of how we decompress. Some people get sh*t-faced drunk, while others just get a pleasant kind of buzz. You may be able to drink in moderation — someone who doesn’t drink to get tanked, but who thoroughly enjoys the taste, aroma, and social aspects of drinking. You don’t want to drink yourself into oblivion and not have any clue about what you did when you wake up the next morning, hung over and out of it.

If you’re curious about the way that you act when you’re out-of-control drunk, astrology can help. Every zodiac sign has their own ways of behavior and how they react to certain situations and stimuli. Here's how you act when drunk.
Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Aries, you're a risk taker when you're stone-cold sober, so it can be alarming when you're loosened up. When you're intoxicated, you get even more impulsive and can do some things that can best be described as foolhardy.
Hopefully, if you're completely inebriated, your friends will prevent you from doing something you'll regret, like making sure someone takes away your phone, car keys, and credit card. You might book yourself a trip you can't afford to Machu Picchu or decide that you're not too drunk to play poker.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

To a Taurus, "out-of-control" looks mellow. You laugh, you flirt, and then suddenly you seem to switch gears and get into pointless arguments that only you can win. It's pointless for anyone to argue with you because there's not a chance that they'll change your mind. It doesn't matter if you're arguing about sports or where's the best place to buy fresh flowers, you dig your heels in and will fight with everything you got.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Geminis are known for the two-sided aspect of their personalities, so it's kind of a crapshoot what kind of mood you'll be in when completely tanked. You might be the social butterfly you normally are, but you could also be sobbing in a corner. There's no reason why you act so differently, but it does keep people guessing if they're going to get Debbie Downer or Social Sydney with you.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Cancer is one of those people that starts to talk and talk when they've had too much to drink. It's as if you're holding the other person hostage while you let it all out. You tell them what you're feeling, why you've been hurt in the past, and every time someone did something that caused you pain. It's not that you're a party-pooper, but you have been known to bring it way down.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

You're a lot of fun when you get wasted, Leo. You lose all your inhibitions and make everyone laugh with the funny things you say and do. You're loud, boisterous, and don't care at all what anybody else thinks. What's kind of surprising is that no matter how out-of-control you get, you still manage to look good.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Your out-of-control is pretty contained, Virgo. You get smiley and it seems as if you're having a good time but it's hard to be sure. The next day, you'll go over what you think you said and did and find fault with it. You may even start apologizing to anyone who may have been affected by your behavior, but it's usually completely unnecessary.

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

You lose a lot of your inhibitions when you're drinking, Libra. If you're not normally someone who starts making out with a stranger in a bar, you'll do it when you've got some drinks in you. You're super-flirty and can't keep your hands to yourself. Luckily, it's all about feeling good, so there's not usually any negative, aggressive behavior. You may have things you'll regret in the morning but they won't things that land you in jail.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Since you're a very passionate person, Scorpio, it's not surprising that you get even more passionate when you're inebriated. The trouble is that there are times that you direct that intensity of feeling towards yourself and you get self-destructive. You go over all the mistakes you've made and you can get insecure. Living in the past isn't a good state to be in, especially when it's brought on by drugs or alcohol.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

You think you're the life of the party when you're sh*t-faced, but the truth is you go on and on about life, the universe... everything. Sagittarius, your rants aren't amusing, they are annoying. You're much more fun, funny, and interesting when you're not intoxicated. You get high on life, remember?

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

When you get inebriated, you become a huge know-it-all — not one who's content to just know everything, but one who has to prove it to everyone. Capricorn, you flaunt your intelligence and skill as if you're at a job interview, not a party. If you're home alone, you'll attempt to finish projects that seemed impossible but now seem completely doable.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

As much as you like people, you don't really like to be around them when you drink or partake of any kind of edible. You like to lay back on the couch, watch some Netflix and just chill. Aquarius, you like to be around people most of the time, but if you really want to chill, you'd prefer to do it solo.

If you've been holding back from telling your ex what you really think of them, watch out when you get a few drinks in you! You're going to let them know all those feelings you've been holding back, Pisces. You drunk-dial, send emails (that never should be sent), and you channel your feelings into some kind of art. Intoxication is an inspired state of being for you.
