I got too drunk and made a total fool of myself. So sad.

I can't believe I'm posting this on the internet because I am so embarrassed that I want to hide from the entire world. I've been dating this guy for only a few weeks and things were going great. I felt like it had the potential to turn into something serious. I went to go visit him at his work (he's a bartender) and he was making me drinks. I completely blacked out and I don't remember anything until the next day. Apparently I fell down in the bar, called him a jerk and an *******, and he had to carry me to a cab and pay for me to go home.

 

I NEVER get drunk like that. I did have a fight with another guy I was dating a few months ago and apparently said some mean things to him when I was drunk, but that's the only other time I've ever acted like that. We had a very rocky "relationship" so I'm not too surprised that I got mad at him.

 

Anyways. So I made a total ass out myself. I apologized when I found out what happened. He said that he still wants to see me, but he needs a few days to cool down because the situation made him pretty mad.

 

Is there anything I can do? This guy is really sweet and awesome and I can't believe I acted like that. COMPLETELY out of character. I'm so ashamed.

Sounds like you're an angry drunk? Only thing I can say, is know your limit.

 

During drinko de mayo I was partying at my friend's house. He busted out the good tequila, different kinds even. And being I like tequila, that was bad news. We were doing the taste test and everything.

 

I didn't want to pass out at his house (I'm a sleepy drunk), because I was going to a club after to support my friend who was DJing there. And I knew cops were going to be everywhere.

 

So when I got sufficiently buzzed... I cut myself off. One of my friends poured me another shot, I left it. Kept drinking water.

 

So 1) know what kind of drunk you are, 2) know your limit and quit before you're too far gone.

No, I'm not an angry drunk. I'm usually a happy-go-lucky, hug everyone type of drunk.

No, I'm not an angry drunk. I'm usually a happy-go-lucky, hug everyone type of drunk.

 

So why did you cuss him out?

 

Either way, blacking out is not good. I don't black out, I just pass out, which is a better alternative. Even then I try to stay out of that zone. If I'm passed out, I'm missing all the fun.

 

Drinking has a sweet spot... that sweet spot is when you are really buzzed but not quite drunk. I like to keep it there and not push things over.

 

Anyway, only thing I can say is don't get that drunk again.

What fishtaco said.

 

Your boyfriend isn't without blame in this either though. He had a professional responsibility as a bartender to "cut you off" sooner instead of serving you so many drinks.

Agreed with the previous poster, he shouldve been more on top of how much you had gotten served, but needless to say, you're your own responsibility, and you know you shouldnt have gotten that drunk.

 

What happened that triggered you to call him that?? Maybe when the dust settles you should ask him the series of events.

 

Either way, If I were you, I would apologize, profusely. Ensure to him that it was a fluke and wont happen again. Tell him you're really embarrassed because you're starting to like him a lot... And keep the hooch to a minimum, if at all... for quite some time.

If you're typically a happy and not an angry drunk, and you don't think you drank that much....and it's not like to drink enough to pass out, have you considered that perhaps someone (him? - seeing as he was the one mixing your drinks) slipped something into your drink. Something to seriously consider.
