to be annoyed that my brother and sister have got absolutely smashed

I had my brother and sister over for christmas and we had a nice meal and a few drinks but they don't know when to stop. They've drunk at least 1.5 bottles of wine, some amaretto and a few beers. They went mad and started wrestling and other drunken antics with each other and this then set the children off doing similar. I eventually restored order and they fell asleep. I've dumped them both in the spare room as they are too drunk to go home.
It was a mostly enjoyable day but I feel they took the shine off it. I know I could and should have monitored them better but she's 24 and he's 19 so they're old enough and I don't want to be the alcohol police.

It wouldn't bother me to be honest.

Merry christmas!

Its done now and they are asleep so pour yourself a glass of wine and put your feet up safe in the knowledge that they will pay for it tomorrow. Merry Christmas.

nurter can't stand pissed up people.
Don't care what time of year it is.

That doesnt sound like a huge amount of alcohol, or really horrendous behaviour... you do sound a bit uptight.

Sirzy · 25/12/2011 22:18

Sounds like they were having fun, no harm done so can't say I would be to upset.

cinnamonnut · 25/12/2011 22:18

YANBU, would annoy me a bit.

KittyFane · 25/12/2011 22:19

squeaky OP said : They went mad and started wrestling and other drunken antics with each other and this then set the children off doing similar. Sounds crap to me.

squeakytoy · 25/12/2011 22:21

Yes Kitty, I read that. :)

LoopyLoopsWoopDeWoops · 25/12/2011 22:21

They're young, it's Christmas. Unless they hurt or upset anyone, loosen up. Wine

ithaka · 25/12/2011 22:21

Sounds like fun to me!

thebigkahuna · 25/12/2011 22:22

I read that too kitty. And I agree with squeakytoy Smile

YANBU to go to someone elses house and get so drunk that you need someone to put you to bed is pretty poor behaviour IMO.

Dsis has just got up and been sick and some of it has gone in her hair and so is having a shower. Feel even more annoyed now that I prepared a meal and she has just thrown it back up.

Sounds shit to be honest.

Why must celebrating Christmas involve getting pissed?

In my book, that is tacky and tasteless.

KittyFane · 25/12/2011 22:30

Ooh the big are you jumping in?
Hmm

KittyFane · 25/12/2011 22:32

I think I need to go and get P'sd! Grin

thebigkahuna · 25/12/2011 22:32
Hmm Grin
squeakytoy · 25/12/2011 22:37

I have had one glass of wine all day with dinner, as had to drive this evening.. and had planned on getting happily hazy now I am home, but just cant be bothered... so I am envious of anyone who is merry Grin

YANBU to go and get drunk and then to be sick is ridiculous particulary for a 24 YO woman, I think you sound like you mother them and they take advantage of this. If it were me I wouldn't have dumped them in the spare room I'd have dumped them out the front door. I'm all for a bit of fun but you can take it too far and to gey so drunk you are vomitting is taking it way tooo far.

YANBU I don't see why you have to get riproaring drunk to have a good time. I've always though it was an indicator of discontentedness with your life.

Nevergarglebrandybutter · 25/12/2011 23:15

They are 24 and 19. Leave them to it. YABU.
