I have been searching my own resources and have come up empty handed on a question not directly related to "meds" per se, but to mental health. If this is too vague or time consuming, please don't bother yourself with it, ok :o)

Here is my conundrum: Is there any evidence that supports psychotic episodes when a non-regular imbiber of alcohol takes a tinge too much?

Variation: Is there any evidence that small amounts of alcohol that result in very strange (and completely out-of-character) behavior point to any mental illnesses?

I am speaking of a 225 lbs. 6'1", Male in his middle twenties. He has had a few beers in the last couple of years, but if he combines two beers and three swigs of hard liquor psychosis of some sort appears. It has been tested on four different occasions and *always*, completely predictably goes quite unnervingly strange.

He gets extremely paranoid, he slouches and walks with his legs and feet as taught in his martial arts training. His arms swing low, elbows out protectively, draws up his fists the way he was taught during training. His eyes are extremely strange, almost 'empty', red, and suspiciously narrowed and agitated. He can become very violent and illogical. He says things in a different voice, extremely low, a spine-chilling growl; and the things he says either make no sense or are completely unacceptable.

He doesn't remember most of it. Although he does remember some of the screaming thoughts, the expressions of different people. However, he doesn't remember the way he walks or talks or behaves. He *hates* feeling like that, and watches any drinking, even a social beer, very carefully.

Any ideas or thoughts???
