For example when i drink I have the courage to do anything hit on anyone. Sometimes I become really sexual to the point where its a trun off. B)I get really bad anxity the next day. I feel like I am the worst most horible person in the world. ( I am refering to last night best memory ) Last night I was very nice.I kinda like a guy and some chick was flirting with him and i asked her to back off. If someone told me they did that I would think no big deal. But for some reason I feel like I killed everyone. I know I need to stop drinking. But I do really enjoy a few glasses of wine with the girls or a a few beers. I just need to know when to stop drinking and limit myself to only a few. Any advice? or Suggestions?

 Drinking and getting really drunk in front of people you work with, would understandably make you feel like crap the next day and anxiety over? What you did? Depending on your size would determine how much liquor you can drink. I am the world's biggest light weight, so I'll sip on a mixed drink (hello kitties and hypnotic pineapple cranberry) very yummy drinks by the way all night and I might end up having three or four in a 7 hour period.
Don't drink shots or drinks that have high alcohol content. And you don't have to drink every time you go out. Alcohol is expensive, especially at the bar. You don't sound like an alcoholic though, so that's good. :)
Just limit your drinking. It takes self discipline and if you can't do it on your own, then talk to someone who will help you do it. Friends or family.
Good luck.

Some people have a reaction that makes them seriously need to avoid drink. If you find yourself not being able to stop, or worse, blacking out (being "awake" but not conscious) you need to seriously look at this.
switching drinks, timing yourself,eating... may or may not work. Some people try to avoid hard liquor, but beer and wine and (and will) have the same effect.
Pay attention to the patterns and address the situation.

 Ok first off it is completely normal to feel awful the next day, when we drink to much it makes us feel the next day that we totally embarresed ourselves and we feel so much worse than what it was. The withdrawls of drink can cause us to be down on ourselves the next day and make us feel like we are a horrible person.
Just make a limit and stick to it, try and look at your drink patterns and ask yourself after how many drinks do you start seeing yourself becoming quite typsy and getting louder and doing things you regret? And just stick to drinking lesser than this. Be careful that drink doesnt take a hold of you set a number that you know you can handle for example 4 drinks and stick to this. Dont go over this amount and when you are finished go straight home or else switch to water. Its also a good idea to have a glass of water inbetween every drink as it helps hydrate you. Goodluck.
