to think my friend is lying about being drugged?

[LondonButterfly]

So last Saturday night we had a girls night out (group of 7).

Walking to a different bar, some walking further ahead etc. I was at the back (damn ridiculous high heels!) when we reached one of my friends(A) in floods of tears. Apparently one of our friends (B) had told A that friend (C) was dead.

(Friend C was out with us at the time but was much further ahead of us). Friend A thought she'd been in some sort of accident and was inconsolable - I think obviously this was heightened with how much she had to drink.

After an argument between A and B when the truth was friend C was fine. Que friend B storming off. I called her and she said she was in a taxi on the way home.

All is forgiven now. But friend B keeps saying that she only said what she did because someone drugged her in the bar we had just left.

aibu to think she is just lying about being drugged because she's quite embarrassed about what she said?

Well your 'inferring' is wrong.

I said I hadn't drunk a lot. I know that she did, as did a few of the others.

Again we don't all drink the same amount

London, if this is the sort of people you hang out with, you should consider moving to a small village on the Outer Hebrides.

Well calling someone a stupid woman doesn't help....

Never mind drunk you'd have to have had a frontal lobotomy to think someone you'd been with half an hour earlier on a night out could have died in an accident without your having witnessed or heard about it...

Never mind why friend B said something so childish, the material point of the story for me is that friend A sounds astonishingly stupid....

GoldQuintessenceAndMyhrr the aibu is not asking for an opinion on who I should or should not hang out with.

I can read, my dear.

But you lot appear so bonkers that it makes your question redundant.

Well if B was drugged to say it-wtf had happened to A to believe it??

Defo lying.

It's a huge myth that men are waiting in every bar to drug young girls.

I saw a good stat Agee years ago that was something like 98% of people claiming to have been drugged had no trace of drugs but shit loads of alcohol in them.

How many times has a friend said to you "I don't know what happened, I only had two drinks" but you saw them doing shots, swigging from a wine bottle and accepting drinks in rounds. Massive case of drink-forgetyitis

Was it the 15th or 16th bacardi breezer that was drugged?

Sounds like friend A was attention seeking to me.

As I used to tell my teenage DD, if your friends get drunk, do not take much notice of what they say, and certainly do not try to sort out all their little arguments. They will all apologise in the morning for it all anyway.

I've been on some stormin' pub crawls in my time, but never once has anyone died between one pub and the next, nor has anyone said they have

What a ridiculous situation

What drug does she think she was given? :o

Was there an evil man in the bar who wanted her to start telling extremely unlikely porkie pies to her pissed mates!

Maybe the same fellow spiked A with something that made her unusually gullible?

Perhaps he put something in C's drink to make her walk so fast she was out of sight?

It's all so suspicious :o

I really need to know how friend b broke the news of friend a's death? I mean seriously what did she say for her to believe her (sorry if I've got my abc's mixed up there)

YABU to think she is lying.

Friend (B) probably genuinly does think she was drugged, which is why she keeps going on about it.

YANBU to think she wasn't drugged, which isn't what you asked.

How was she meant to have lost her life imbetween pubs ?

Why do you think we all were (obliterated)?
Because friend B said Friend C was dead, and Friend A believed her, even though she was right in front of both of them.
The kind interpretation is that they were both seriously pissed.

Exactly what did B say that convinced A that C was dead ?

And friend (A) is a nutter too.

Oh I'm sorry

It's just that you asked me where you had said you were 'completely obliterated' so I thought you just hadn't understood.

I was just explaining to you.

Realistically though, how drunk to you have to be to break down into sobs because your friend tells you your other friend - who you are with but who is walking a bit ahead of you - is dead?

You'd have to be VERY drunk.

If you weren't, you would be sensible. Your first question would be how? we're all together. They were here a minute ago. i've not heard or seen anything. the person who is telling me is right here with me, so when did all this happen?

The only way it makes any sense at all is that both A and B were utterly, utterly hammered.

That's when logic and reason fly out of the window on little pink elephants

Some people are always looking for a fight on here

Well you do seem to be rather antagonistic and unpleasant...

oh, and perhaps she genuinely believes that the only reason she could have been so stupid is if she had been drugged.

Maybe she actually believes that. Perhaps she's looking for a reason why she said something so daft and this is what she's come up with?
