runaway ego syndrome

This syndrome could happen at any time but can be intensified by the consumption of alcohol. This is what happens when one cannot stop bragging on themself and all of their best qualities. When alcohol is involved, they may make the same statements repeatedly and loudly as a means of inforcing the validity of the statement and/or tell stories that magnify their greatness.
Hey boss, I am really glad to see you out tonight. I wanted to talk to you about the recent promotion I put in for. I know you gave the position to Mike but I think there are a few things you overlooked....

Two friends watching interaction painfully in the distance;
Friend 1: Oh man, Sam has a bad case of runaway ego syndrome tonight. Should we save him?
Friend 2: No man, let's let it play out a little bit first.

Falter Ego 

What some might define as an 'alter ego' except for the fact that the person is aware of the change between their usual and abnormal selves.
When someone is trying to impress a certain group of people, they may snap out their falter ego and put on a show to make those people think they're cool by their standards, when really they're just posing.
Gill: "Oh my gosh, I heard you and Bob broke up!"
Jen: "Yeah, he had a falter ego."
Gill: "Pardon me?"
Jen: "He'd act one way around me and my friends so that we'd like him, but then become his true self around all his buddies. I didn't like the real him, and the fact that he tried to hide it with a falter ego is worse."
Gill: "Well, good for you!"
