Incident at party!

Post Reply New Topic

At a social gathering at my friends house (my friends name is Adam) I got into trouble. At his house some of his friends egged me on to drink a big glass of absinthe very fast.


The alcohol got me so drunk that I had constant blackouts. When I was in that state I do vaguely remember one of my friends buddies (he was not the part of the group that made me drink beer and I never met him before.) pulled an angry face and shouted at me. I do faintly remember I apologised to a girl saying to her "sorry your really pretty" or something along those lines after he shouted at me I think????? I think I did say to the girl earlier on when I was drunk "you look like Amy Winehouse"


If you could take very a wild guess why do you think he got pissed off with me? I have asked my friend who hosted the occasion why his friend got angry with me and he does not remember?


On a side note according to another friend of mine (who left the party before I got drunk) when I was under the influence of alcohol I was getting agressive towards Adam and his mum . That same friend also said that the amount of alcohol I had that night could have killed me

You chugged a huge glass of absinth.

Oh well, you'll know not to do that again. Every day you learn something new.

All you can do is apologize to your friend and his mum and say you didn't realize you'd react to the alcohol like that. Hopefully they'll understand.

As long as you didn't do this you're fine:

I'm hoping this will make you laugh and cheer you up rather than making you feel bad btw

James, this bit by HurtLoam is all you need. If they're friends, they'll understand.

I know it may seem devastating--the shame-gene seems to be quite active in us--but from an understanding, non-drinker it's not that bad. I've seen drunk people do far, far worse. The bloke yelling at you was likely piss-drunk himself, and also probably only vaguely remembers the events, if at all.

I don't know the details, but I think you're fine. Just call your mate & explain, and ask to talk to his mom and personally apologize to her, as well. She'll love you forever; it demonstrates high character. Odds are she's not offended, so the apology can only win you more points in her eyes.

Good luck!

everyone does stupid things when theyre drunk appologise and laugh it off

They were mad at you for making embarrassing comments and acting up. That happened to me once when I was 21 and it was the first time.

One of my roommates threw a big Mardi Gras party and I felt like the odd girl out next to there being a big age gap between us. Then I did not really seem to connect with them.

The roommate who threw the party was not an alcoholic but a heavy drinker. So they threw a Mardi Gras party that year and I decided to get drunk in thinking they would let me into their group if I did that. I remember being very loud and obnoxious and seeing my roommate walk away from me when I was dancing. I also remember heard "You settle down I can hear you over here. I also think you have had enough." I was also told to lay down and sleep the alcohol off which is very dangerous.

The next day I had my very first hang over and that involved putting out. My roommate was really upset with me for embarrassing them in front of the other guests. They were so upset that they wrote ugly notes that they refused to clean the toilet and especially after someone had vomited in it (I flushed the toilet thanks). I was also not allowed to eat any of the left overs because they were for people at their company who did not go to the party.

I remember feeling bad and beating myself up and you should not either. You were just trying to have fun and experiment and hopefully you know better not to behave like the. Just be careful though because alcohol can kill you if you drink too much. The next time someone tries to push you to drink beer, just say "NO." If they are persistent" just walk away.

When people encouraged you to drink the absinthe, did you really want to do it or not? Was this peer pressure?

It sounds like peer pressure along with trying to fusing with the norms of the social settings. A party can be an easy setting for drinking. Still there is a time and place where you want to police yourself and put your foot down.
