Ok, here are some ideas. This is slightly over the edge but worth considering -
I believe that males have a monthly cycle similar to females. It's somewhere around 29 days or so. I've notice this in myself since I was a teenager. During my 'special' time each month there are several things that change: sleep is deeper and longer, I'm more aggressive, hair and fingernails grow faster, I'm noticeably stronger, sex drive is increased. This is obviously some sort of hormone cycle. This time appears to last about 1 week for me.
I don't drink, but I've heard that a hangover is partially due to lowered respiratory drive and there is a forum posting in the distant past that a person who typically had hangovers due to alcohol usage stopped having them once on CPAP.
So, putting these two things together, you might want to have a sleep study and see if you have OSA which is pushed over the edge during this 'special' time each month and/or in connection to alcohol usage. OSA can result is some pretty bizarre behavior.
Let us know what happens.
