Is being drunk an acceptable excuse?

A lot of people act stupidly, make mistakes and are sometimes complete arseholes when they are drunk, and then shrug it off afterwards, blaming the alcohol.

Do you find it an acceptable excuse for unruly behaviour? For yourself? For others?:cheers2:

 

Sure. Why not?

 

So you would forgive anybody anything just cos they were drunk?

And yourself too? No matter how stupid?

 

It totally depends on the extent.

Being a bit loud 'n obnoxious and making out spontaneously... happens. I actually find it charming a bit.

But being a complete dick time and time again means it's a major part of their personality which comes out again. I don't trust those people.

And you know. If someone robs me while drunk. Not acceptable.

 

Yep.

 

Like lode said, it depends on the extent.
I know I've been a complete asshole before when I was drunk.
But, it wasn't just the alcohol.
Because my inhibitions were lowered, I felt I didn't care about the outcome, I just needed to say what was said.
But, in the end, it all comes to how it's handled after the retarded drunkenness.

 

Fuck no.

They put that shit in their body, they should deal with whatever they did.

 

Yes. Well, I have so far. Sometimes ya just got to let things go. When I do stupid things, I'll sometimes get on myself for a bit, but I move on pretty quickly.

 

I dont do what I wouldnt like to do sober - drunk.

 

with this said.. she tried to phone bone me once!

 

Never? I dont believe it

 

I was always one of the "Ahh, nevermind, he was drunk!" kinds of people.

But lately I've been drifting towards Arlandis' view, especially with myself.

My behaviour while drunk seems to be getting more erratic lately, too frequently leaving me with apologies to make. I don't think I can accept it as an excuse for myself anymore.

I should probably stop drinking.

 

I was a little out of control just two nights ago. We really party.

I'm actually not sure how come the cops don't nail us everytime just for being the loudest motherfuckers in New York.

 

No, it is not an excuse.

Yet things such as drunken making out, knocking over your neighbors trashcan, or burning down your neighbor's house while trying to set a mannequin dressed up like Jesus and nailed to an inverted cross on fire should not require an excuse to begin with.

 

Being drunk just releases your inhibition... then you are free to do things you would've always liked to do.

Like phone bone.

 

How loud is "loud"?

Because I'm willing to bet everything I own that you can't possibly produce the same amount of terrifying noise as me and my friends do.

 

drinking lets the monkey out of the cage...and what he does is unpredictable...

 

right, you have to drink a safe amount to keep the monkey on a tighter leash, like me... miss perfect

 

Took the words right out of my mouth. When I looked back on this past Monday and couldnt remember driving home or being "put to bed" by my friend after getting wasted at the bar at 2pm..well.. lets just say I think I need an intervention. I haven't drank for a week now and its been fucking hard but i feel way better...

Edit: but then again, i'm a fucking alcoholic... some people can drink in moderation. it's very difficult for me..

 

I lost my self-control, my wallet, a good friend, my trousers, my bladder control, and the remaining modicum of dignity that I had.

All on Saturday night.
