I'd forgotten how annoying drunk people are!

Went out tonight, driving. Lovely first few hours chatting to people, catching up etc. Then after maybe 4 drinks everyone turns in to boring annoying arseholes. All shouting over eachother to get heard, repeating themselves, generally being annoying twats.

God it makes me remember why I prefer the company of sober people. Anyone else?

Have you ever been drunk ??

Nothing worse than pissed people when you’re sober, or pissed.

Ah yes I find it’s good to go home when they start repeating themselves

Yeh but we have all been there and being drunk once in a while is no big deal.

Yes totally agree
I very rarely drink more than one drink and now find it not only annoying when people are slurring their words and being drunk idiots but really odd how acceptable it is and how normalised when it’s so harmful.

@Neveranynamesleft yes sure I've been shit faced many times, but it's horrible seeing in to a mirror isn't it!
@Bkjahshue that's exactly what I did, such a relief to have the car and be able to scoot off to suit myself.

@Windymillering that's what I was getting at I think, no one really enjoying eachothers company as not really listening to or engaging with eachother, then tomorrow they'll all feel like death...then do it all again next weekend. I don't know why British culture revolves so much around being pissed.

To have managed a few hours catching up with people (whilst they were still sober) is reasonable enough I'd say

I’m probably odd because I’ve never liked the taste of alcohol even when I was a teenager and everyone else was trying it. If I’m going out I only stay for a couple of hours and head home as I can’t be arsed with drunk behaviour. Weddings and bigger occasions when drink is flowing are endured through gritted teeth.

I live next to a pub.
Friday and Saturday nights can be "fun". I've seen idiots try and jump a 5ft wall and end up faceplanting on the pavement, I've seen a man lift a man up in the air and slam him on the pavement, I've seen one woman hanging on to the landlady's hair. The police and ambulance have been called a few times.
Men and women shouting at each other is a common occurance, tuneless singing is another.

Bloody hate it!

I can tolerate the boring ones. The gobby twat at work this evening on the other hand...

They can be - my friend phoned this week late evening completely plastered. He pretended he wasn't but he wasn't making any sense, it was so obvious!

Drunk people can be annoying but that's their charm. I hate being out with the sober martyrs. Drivers are the worst, always checking their watch and looking at you all disapprovingly like a parent and saying nothing entertaining then being really bossy and demanding when they decide it's time to go. Nobody needs a driver hanging over them for a night on the piss - driving duty is purely for restaurant evenings and should never be assigned to the boring one in the group.
