Mounting deaths and destruction paint a horrific landscape
Aries are also known for living very much in their bodies. This means they’ll likely express their intoxication through showing off their strength, perhaps suggesting a push-up competition, or through some other questionable physical feat, like trying to scale a wall in a mini-skirt. Their physical nature means they may also be more prone to unpleasant hangover symptoms when the buzz wears off!
This preoccupation with appearance means they’re more likely to be a “stealth drunk.” You know, that friend who sits in the corner casually sipping their drink while everyone else gets rowdy, but when they stand up and stumble it becomes clear they’re just as drunk as everyone else. They simply hide it well. Until they’re on the floor...
As you might expect, the Aries is often the one to get the ball rolling and the bottles popping. You might see them buying rounds of shots for everyone at the bar, or wrangling a friend to keep the night going. As results-driven beings, they’ll keep going until the party’s over (or they black out...).
Geminis are already known for being chatty and social, perhaps even gossipy, so imagine what happens after a few glasses of wine. They bond through communication, and the desire to bond and share information is even stronger when intoxicated.
As the first sign of the zodiac calendar, the Aries has a natural propensity for leadership. They are determined, goal-oriented, and are happy to be the one to take the first step. These qualities yield interesting results when alcohol is added to the mix!
The Taurus values poise and grace, as they’re ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and sensuality. Don’t expect them to be a sloppy drunk! They’re also highly attuned to their senses and know exactly what they want to drink.
The poor Cancer is the one most likely to become tearful and tell their friends how much they really love them, or release some of the pain from a recent breakup. Don’t forget though: this emotional openness is only temporary, and they will likely want to pretend it never happened!
The crab is the symbol of Cancer, and they are quite aptly known for having a tough exterior that protects their emotional core. When they drink, the walls temporarily come down and the floodgates open!
Cancers are ruled by the Moon, meaning they are constantly evolving and changing. This means they don’t usually stick to one kind of drink, as their taste preferences change throughout the evening. This leads to the worst hangovers.
Leos are the social butterflies of the zodiac. They are ruled by the Sun and love to light up a room and be the center of attention. They also have a competitive streak, which can be a little dangerous when drinking. They might have a tendency to initiate drinking games to show that they can drink more than anyone else (they might be wrong...).
The Gemini is already less burdened with inhibitions than most, so when their lips are loosened by alcohol, they’re even more willing to share! They might go around telling their life story to strangers, spilling some hot gossip they’ve heard, or expressing an opinion they would otherwise have kept to themselves.
This might get them in trouble, but as Geminis they know they’ll be able to talk their way out of it tomorrow.
Given their extroverted nature, Leos will go even further with their performative personalities when their confidence is bolstered by a few drinks. That could mean karaoke, dancing on tables, or even confronting someone for an argument.
Virgos have a reputation for being disciplined, organized, and analytical. They probably don’t get drunk very often, as it takes them out of their comfort zone, but when they do they might spill some tea.
Libras are extroverted, friendly, and hopeless romantics. Like Taurus, Libra is also ruled by the planet Venus, so they have a taste for the finer things. This means they often run up a high bar tab ordering the most decadent drinks.
Scorpio is a sign associated with desire but it is also ruled by two planets: Pluto and Mars. These planets symbolize power, energy, and war. What an interesting mix for a night out… Particularly as Scorpios often really enjoy drinking. A lot.
A Sagittarius is likely a great person to invite to a party. They are naturally jovial and adventurous, but are also capable of deep thought and interesting conversation.
While the warring factions inside the Scorpio might come to the surface and cause them to lose their temper when drunk, they’re much more likely to be distracted by a beautiful face. Scorpios are likely to be that friend who disappears as soon as you arrive at the bar or club, finding their target and flirting shamelessly.
Drinking really brings out the adventurous side of the Sagittarius, making it a little easier to go exploring! They’re likely to be spontaneous and see where the night takes them, which may be away from their friends who will be worried to death until they finally get a text back.
Capricorns are hard workers who tend to be focused on their careers and value professionalism and decorum. They’re averse to taking risks, so when they do drink they know their limits and rarely go overboard.
The Aquarius is an intelligent innovator who always has a new idea or a new topic of conversation. Their curiosity means they like to try new and interesting drinks!
Aquarians tend to be fun drunks. They’re full of energy and love to dance and talk to new people, so they’re great company at a party. They may also come up with creative new drinking games.
Since Aquarians are the people with big ideas who feel like they can change the world, they like to have their thoughts and ideas heard. This means they might get into debates when drunk because they’re even more convinced than usual that they’re right about everything.
Pisces are known for being the gentle daydreamers of the zodiac and are deeply in touch with their feelings. Their vivid imaginations sometimes mean they create false narratives in their heads, particularly when drunk, which may lead to them getting upset.
The Sagittarius is also known for being the goofiest of all the zodiac signs, meaning they’re not afraid to joke around and look foolish or be the first one to take to the dance floor. Expect some serious moves!
Virgos are perfectionists with incredibly high standards for themselves. Their analytical nature means they naturally notice and make note of the behavior of others. If their sassy side comes out when they’re drunk and they decided to tell you what they really think, hold on to your hat: they have the potential to cut you to the core!
Capricorns aren’t necessarily the most empathetic people, so if they do have a little too much to drink they might unintentionally say things that hurt others because they don’t understand the impact they’re having.

Since Libras are all about love, expect them to get extra lovey-dovey when they’ve had a few drinks. They’ll be telling you they love you, what a good friend you are, and how in love they are with the barista at their local coffee shop.
Alternatively, the Pisces might seem like they’ve had a little more than alcohol! They already seem to live in a dream world, and this is only enhanced when booze is flowing. You might find them camped out in a quieter corner of the party engaging in deep meaningful conversations about the universe.
Most of us like a drink from time to time, and some of us like a lot of drinks a lot of the time. Regardless, we're all capable of some major personality shifts when we're on the sauce. A few cocktails and your shyest colleague might be up dancing on the table, or your most composed friend might be crying on your shoulder in a McDonald's. Indeed, most of us have a drunken alter ego that can vary depending on the drink of choice and the situation–but how does this tie into astrology?
