2 months? Damn Red, I have like 5 years that I barely remember, and Im olny 23! (As of today matter of fact, happy birthday to me! No beer though ) God Bless ~
It's an acceptable reason. It's only an acceptable excuse if it's, like, the first time that person has ever been drunk/that drunk. OK, so drinking lowers your inhibitions and sometimes makes you into a whole different person... but you know that before you start drinking, so as an excuse, I don't know that it's really applicable. If you put yourself into a situation where you know your inhibitions will be reduced, where you're likely to be around others in a similar state, etc., you can really claim afterwards that it's not at least partly your own fault.
I actually mean 2 solid months 24 hours a day of permanent blackout when I add all of my end of evening blackouts together. Happy birthday. I'll have a virtual beer for you.:cheers2:
I don't think it is an acceptable excuse for big things, like cheating, fighting (physical and verbal), abusing. My step dad used to get rip roaring wasted and beat my mom and occasionally blame the alcohol, but it was all on him. For little things like titty flashing, general obnoxiousness, being retarded, sure. You can blame the alcohol for that.
Mmmm, I'd hate to be the person that my friends have to worry about and supervise. That's just not a good time for anyone. I try and get drunk in fairly controlled environments, like at home where I don't have to drive anywhere, and a friend's house where it's okay to crash and I'm not likely to work with a table saw, or at a pub where I can only have so many before my pool game starts to lag. I reserve getting rip-roaring drunk at home, and less in public. There's less trouble in it for me and I can make all the noise I want.
