dry drunk syndrome  

Definición

  • Dry drunk syndrome is a term coined by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) that describes characteristics of someone who is no longer consuming alcohol but is experiencing several behavioral and emotional symptoms of alcoholism, such as irresponsible behavior, impatience, impulsivity, "black and white" thinking, and a rigid, judgmental outlook. These individuals may portray an exaggerated sense of self-importance and grandiose behavior, such as seeking the center of attention for both positive and negative reasons.
