0I think that you could use the phrases "happy drunk" and "melancholy drunk."02br

00That is, if I'm the first, when I have to much to drink, I tend to get quite "happy" in my actions. Things seem funnier, etc.02br

00Or, if I'm the latter, I tend to get very sad when I drink, things seem worse than they really are, etc.0-
