I think you answered your own question in the first half of your message ;-) Most of us have done hateful/shameful/illegal/immoral things while we were drunk. There's really no concrete answer as to "why" but it's a very good bet to say that alcohol contributed to it.
Whether or not these traits "go away" after we quit drinking really depends on how one goes about their recovery. If you simply "don't drink" then some of the traits may continue. AKA - the addiction will just transfer to something else or the addictive habits will continue even after removing alcohol.
Also keep in mind that many of us have underlying conditions that need to be treated separately ( Depression, anxiety, PTSD, physical health issues, etc ). Stopping the drink is a necessary first step to help with these conditions, but it isn't a cure in itself.
