So embarassed

Hi,
ive just been away this weekend with my friends from uni, and i made a complete prat out of myself. i got soo drunk, (at 5pm in the afternoon i may add :confused:) and my mates had to take me home, it took them forever and we didnt end up going out tht night because it took them so long to get me back to my room.

Im really really embarassed about it all,:frown: especially because my friends told me i was throwing abuse at them and that we got kicked off tube trains because of the state i was in. i feel like ive let every1 down and just want to crawl under a rock if im honest. I didnt mean to get so drunk, i was being v.naiive about how much drinkin would effect me as i hadnt had much to eat that day but i feel so bad about it all and i have been feeling r.bad ever since.

I dont really know why im postin, i guess i just want to know how i can make it up to them, especially my guy friend who practically had to carry me home :redface: :frown: He says its ok, but i know its not, especially as i was spoutin all sorts of rubbish. I really like him and hes one of my closest male friends but i feel like iv ruined it by gettin so drunk. The guilt is actually eating me up inside :frown:

Thanx xxx

P.S. sorry for the long post

id just apologise and not do it again. soon enough someone else will make a drunken idiot of themselves and noone will even remember what happened with you. every1 gets trashed now and again, dont fret about it

Apologise lots. I had a friend do this to me at college leavers party. I got her home and didn't get so much as a thanks for it - I was ignored for two weeks and then told it was my fault for taking her. Charming.

Let them know how bad you feel about it all - I'd literally just say to them what you've said here. You're their mate and they won't want to lose you over something silly like getting a bit too drunk, but make sure you apologise asap!

Great advice above this post :smile:

I would also say just tell your friends exactly what you've written here - tell them that you didn't mean to lose control of yourself like that, you're extremely ashamed and embarrassed, you are very grateful for your friends' help, and most importantly, you don't intend to make a habit of it - you'll be extra careful in future. Any good friend will give you sympathy and understanding.

Take care.

I have a simular story, my freind got real drunk in town, hes 'out of it' and drinking more, so i snatch the bottle out of his hand, he decieds to try and wrestle me for it! After a while of him attacking me for it, another freind helps me keep it away from him, at which point he proceeds to pass out.

we where in a place that was way too visible and that police patrol sevral times a day because of people taking drugs (not me!) so me and my other freind caryed him to the cemetry that was opposite, and his him from veiw on the opposite side of a monument.

Suddenly the police going to patrol at the park walk buy on the path, we where scared they would see him, the moneument was not exactly huge, they walk buy as we make our best effort not to look suspicious. They cary on wlaking straight past him, so obviously didnt see him!

So everything seems to be under control, someone came back with bread and water for him, and thne the police start coming back, we where more relaxed this time, we thought if they hadnt already spotted him, they would not, so the police walk down the path, past the monument and all is clear, wait a second one of the officers turns her head ot look behind her only to see some legs sticking out of a pile of coats, they walk over to us to 'investigate'

They where talking to us, but mostly our drunk freind who was now slightly more consious then before. Then i start laughing, and i try to stop myself, but i cant.

Suddenly one of the offceirs attacks me! (verbaly) "do you find this funny!" no, "Then why are you laughing" *the other officer butts in* "its people like you that end up in prision"

I resisted the temptation to reply with "its people like you that end up in low payed dead end jobs"

I ahve a friend who did very siilar things. He did it every week though. If you only did it once it will be forgotten.

I've done that once, the worst thing was though that it was all on film, it was absolutly mortifying watching it, especially the part where I was being sick!

For ages I was really embarrassed and apologised profusely to my friends, who really and truly found it quite funny. Its kind of a case of 'what are friends for?' in situations like this (and I don't mean they're just there to hold you up after a few drinks!) I've had to look after different friends who were at varying states of drunkness before and not minded too much.

My advice to you would be to say sorry to all involved, perhaps plan another night out for all, buy a round of drinks but stay off the booze yourself and learn your lesson.

I would apologise to them firstly and secondly try not to drink so much, especially so early in the day, you want to at least enjoy it, plus also you can have a great time even without having a drink. That's of course not to say you can't have a drink.

Apologise, buy them a bottle of wine to say sorry and be ironic and it'll be forgotten :biggrin:

I wouldn't let it all worry you too much... trust me, everyone gets in this state at one time or another... I've done and my friends have done it, sometimes when I have been there and sometimes when I haven't... have hurled abuse, had it hurled at me, carried peeps, been carried, etc etc.

If we didn't make complete prats out of ourselves once in a while we wouldn't be human! All you can do is say sorry to your friends for getting in that state, tell them you didn't mean any of the insults you chucked, thank them for looking after you and tell them how much you appreciate them! They probably aren't half as bothered as you :smile: and it will all be forgotten about! Soon you'll all look back and laugh about it!

Hope it all works out for you :smile:

P.S. LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKE - eat properly, know your limits and think of the consequences!!!!!!

i done it. next day found out someone had recorded me on their phone and sent it to everyone in my lecture room :| !! oh well now i know what to do when they get drunk :biggrin:

i wouldnt worry at all.

i have friends who do this a fair bit, my gay friend john... he is completely ridiculous when he is drunk!
i was working in he SU bar and saw him smashed, trying to kiss this guy who isnt gay, so i went and tapped him on the shoulder and told him not to, and then went back behind the bar. he tried to follow me behind the bar, and eventually security were called and he got kicked out!

we just tease him about it and its ok.

the same thing has happened to me. i drank about three-quarters of straight smirnoff, one of the 70cl bottles, before i went out. i have never actually been blind drunk before, except this one time. the next day, i didn't remember leaving the house. however, my mate who went with me from the house, told me everything. i fell in numerous nettle bushes, tried to start a fight and just got worse and worse as we travelled to our destination, until i collapsed. apparently - at the end of the night, i was propped up against a wall in a main street, with spit comin out of my mouth - we never even got to the club! and people from college saw me.

*shudders. all i know is, i will never ever put my mates through something like this ever again. apologise - a lot
