AIBU to think husband ruined NYE?

Last night for the first time ever we went out to celebrate NYE.
We bought tickets to an event, along with a couple of friends, and were really looking spending NYE at a party altogether but I feel like my husband ruined the night.
Both my husband and my friend’s husband mixed their alcoholic drinks and ended up in a bit of a state. However while her husband quietly retreated to a corner of the room mine was on the dance floor bumping into people, stumbling about and getting progressively more and more irritating and embarrassing as the night went on.
We left promptly after midnight as most of us were no longer enjoying ourselves, plus I felt like I had to keep a constant eye on what my husband was doing to make sure he wasn’t bothering/falling into other guests etc but I am really annoyed with him and feel that he ruined what should have been a good night out.
I don’t even want to talk to him today, although I imagine he isn’t going to wake up feeling too bright so hopefully won’t try to talk to me, but I am also wondering if I am BU to be so annoyed particularly because I didn’t drink alcohol (driving) so my perception will be somewhat different

It's a shame but unless he's got form for it, I wouldn't be angry. We all make mistakes and, like a pp said, he'll be paying for it today! All that said, a little gesture to make up for it wouldn't go amiss I don't think!

Your DH is a twit and I think he will be paying for it today. I would be annoyed as he had made your night seem longer as you couldn't enjoy yourself.
I would have words with him when he is sober and tell him he had ruined your evening. I hope he isn't like this everytime you go out.
