Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
I have some information and sites that may help you. For a general list of side effects for the most common Hep C medications I would suggest you look at this web MD page
http://www.YYYY.com/hepatitis/YYYY/hepatitis-c-treatment-side-effects

If you send me the specific drugs that you are on I can send you more specific information and possibly some drug interaction information.
Also if you have ever been diagnosed with hepatic encephalopathy then that is a condition that can look very much like drunkenness.
Here is a site that shows you the symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy
