For drinking, will control come with experience, like after more times?

I want to drink, it’s fun and makes me feel great. I’m not escaping anything or using it to deal with problems. I like the taste and like the fun atmosphere of it with friends. But most of the time when drinking I’m one of the crazy drunks that go… well, crazy. People tell me I’m just not a drinker and I should stop, but I honestly don’t want to. I just want to learn control. Or maybe it’s just a mental thing and I can easily do it?

No, you generally don’t "learn control". Most of the people I know who used to "go crazy" as you put it, and who now don’t, used to binge drink as a choice, and have now stopped, as a choice.
If you are at the moment basically drinking until you can’t drink anymore, then you’re showing signs of having a problem. Maybe try going out and limiting yourself to, for example, four drinks. If you can do this, then you are able to control yourself, if you can’t then you have a problem.

    Seems to be you will not be able to control the liquor, but that it will put you out of control.
