I’m not sure, but I think Alexander threw a vase at his father when he was drunk too.

My history teacher referred to him as “Alexander The Grape”

Yeah... he threw a drinking cup at him at Phillip’s marriage to a Greek wife. Someone had insinuated that now Phillip could have a Greek son. Alexander (whose mother was Boeotian) heard it and berated his father... started a row. Alexander yelled “who am I then” and threw the cup. Phillip tried to run at him and tripped across the floor (drunk probably) and Alexander yelled’’ “look, he thinks he is going to conquer Asia and he can’t make it across the room.’ Nasty scene... all families have their ups and downs..
