Why do people addicted to alcohol seem to hurt you so bad but they don't realize?

Because the alcohol inhibits the part of their brain that deals with emotion, memory, judgement, etc. Their speech and actions are no longer under their explicit control, and the don't always remember what they've done. When they do remember, they hide from the truth with more alcohol, and the cycle continues. So everyone around them keeps getting hurt, but they keep drinking and doing what they do. From personal experience, my father's choice name for me when he drinks is "worthless piece of $h!t". And he never "remembers".

Alcohol is a drug and a lot of people don't realize that. When you're addicted to that liquid coward, you change. Most people who suffers from alcoholism are hurt and don't really care who they hurt.

From my personal experience, people who depend on alcohol care only about themselves and their alcohol while they are in that state. The alcohol numbs them, which basically means that they wont do or care about much of anything.

I think people addicted to alcohol (Or anything really) Can only see til their next drink, fix, high- Whatever you want to call it. How are they going to get it and to hell with anyone who gets in their way. They are in such a haze when they are drunk and even in a haze when sober because of the different reactions that addiction causes your brain to produce.

People are addicted to alcohol only when they are going through a very tough time or are out of their mind.In that particular phase they are not aware of the consequences around them.Aggression is one of the symptoms.This actually suffocated them and they use their rage on other people and things.

For the alcoholic, alcoholism is a disease that takes over their minds and hearts and priorities. In the midst of alcoholism, the alcoholic and their family may feel as if their life is out of control, in a whirlwind of predictable painful cycles. There is no logic involved, no time to think of anything else. It is not about love, it is not personal, however at the same time you need what is best for you, a supportive and safe environment where you can relax without worrying what your loved ones are up to. If you need support, Al-Anon offers anonymous local group support to families and friends of alcoholics. They even have an anonymous group phone line. Hearing the stories of others in similar situations and sharing our own stories can give us strength and hope for ourselves. Good luck!

Alcoholics tend to not be in reality if they have been drinking excessive amounts. They lose the ability to understand certain situations because alcohol alters their brain and how it functions over time.

The reason is because the brain is affected which does not signal them that the act that they are doing is hurting the other.
