a few days ago my basketball team won a tournamnet game and was going to play the next game. It was coming on after work so I made a joke saying"i'll pick up a 12 pack and watch the game"

 

my girlfriend than proceeded to mock me since i don't drink. i told her it was a joke and all day she kept making a big deal about it

 

being ridiculed is never fun and i told her i was joking but she didn't let up. is this just her being immature?

Yes, it does sound like she is making something out of nothing.... but on the other hand, is this normally out of character for her? Or is she normally like this... cause the only other explanation I can think of is that alcohol might be a "toxic" issue for her and she is over reacting? That can sometimes happen with people who grew up with an alcoholic parent, etc., or had a very bad experience.

 

If she normally is not ridiculing towards you, and this is a first, I would try digging a little deeper with her to see where her concern really comes from...

Don't let it bother you. Just say, Okay, I will just buy a carton of cokes.

Agree with this guy. Don't take it seriously and just joke back at her. I would have fun messing with the SO if they tried to ridicule me over something so trivial
