To think drinking excessively at special occasions is just selfish?

[KorsILoveMichael]

I was at a wedding yesterday and one woman drank about 3 bottles of wine and got drunk. Became very rude and aggressive and just embarrassed herself. This woman was in her late 30s so you'd think by now she'd know how much she could drink without getting wasted.

I was also drinking but I paced myself as I knew it would be a long day and I wouldn't want to get the point where I was so drunk I was ruining what is suppose to be a happy day.

I think when you're out in town having drinks its different. But I really think drinking excessively (way over your own limit) at a special occasion (weddings, christenings etc) is just really grim and selfish behaviour.

I like a drink myself. Sometimes I get pissed, depends whether Ive eaten enough that day. I certainly don't stand there saying everyone that's pissed has a major problem and I certainly don't think they are second class citizens if they do.

I have to admit that I went to a wedding when dd was 5 months old.
We hadn't been out since before she was born and had had a rough time with her having reflux and were really excited about a child free evening.
I had a new dress, spray tan etc

I think people are pretty much agreed that getting pissed enough to cause disturbances at events you've been invited to is pretty inconsiderate

Who gave you the job of thread summer upper there sooty?

Just have your own view.

Posted too soon soz....
Basically I drank the free cocktails and some wine off the table and ended up bloody pissed.
I had to sit outside and was later sick.
I was mortified for ages after despite having a pretty partying history I wiukd never do that at someone's wedding on purpose.
Sometimes it just happens

crustsaway I don't see anything wrong with what I said. It is my view and I simply wanted to say I thought it was reflected in the thread as a whole.
The OP has been really unpleasant. Just because AnyFucker raised possible reasons for the woman's behaviour doesn't make her a bully. I think the OP's comments are unacceptable and I'm not alone in that but it doesn't mean any of us are confining anti social behaviour that sabotages other people's events.

Condoning not confining sorry.

Nothing major there Sooty, just that pointing out that weighing up others views is a bit strange and not sure why you would do that.

Hopefully I've explained it. I think your jibe about thread summer upper was unpleasant actually.

Op I think you may have touched a nerve with this thread.

I think summing up others posts is rather a pretentious thing to do.

Rofl at AF being accused of being a bully on this thread. I think you may be punching a bit above your weight there, sweetheart...

Well, if the woman at the wedding took 3 bottles to become unpleasant, I'd like to know how many the OP had.

I despise people that drink around their children in public. Drinking and children don't mix it's irresponsible and selfish. I'd have said something myself as I'm a judgy person

People sum up on threads I read-can't see what the problem is there. Or why AF is a bully for suggesting the woman may have had a drink problem.

Op, you started a discussion in aibu. People will agree/disagree, that's how it goes. Yabu to call people thick for expressing their views.

Well crustsaway you're entitled to your opinion of course. A shame that you haven't lost an opportunity to be unpleasant about expressing it.

Spot on MrsBobDylan in my opinion.

Oh chill out sooty and stop blowing things out of proportion

You were the one who took issue with me in the first place.

Im just not into rigid posting thats all nor am I into others "summing" up peoples views.

Like this op?

Ignoring the goading - which I suspect is rooted in a previous thread that the perpetrator can't let go - I still don't see what anyone has done wrong in highlighting the OP's unpleasantness on this thread.
It is ridiculous to describe people as thick because you don't like their responses.
On another note my 12 year old duster was given a couple of surreptitious drinks at my cousin's wedding years ago and my mother had to walk her round the car park when she was sick. We were all embarrassed, not least my mother for not noticing what had happened.

Sister not duster. That was an unfortunate autocorrect.

Not sure what you are insinuating there sooty? Did you say anything in a previous thread to me that I found obnoxious? and might want to carry over? I really have no idea why you are saying this. Very strange and makes me wonder whether you project a bit.

I think what's sadder is getting drunk in front of your children. It disturbs a child to see their parent like that.
