Are drunk people annoying??

[TheyDoItOnPurposeLynne]

I suppose I'm asking for a range of opinions. If someone isn't being aggressive, argumentative or opinionated but is still clearly quite drunk, slurring etc....as a very sober person just trying to have a pleasant night in, would this really get your goat?

I dont drink at all, and when my friends drink, even a few, they start repeating themselves, talking about boring crap and laughing at eff all.
I normally bugger off home at about 10 pm and do what I want to do :D
I love a good night out dancing though, the bass, the lights, it's just sad that the majority have to be pissed out their face to enjoy it!

Annoying, tedious and boring.

Yup. I have very limited tolerance for drunk ppl when I'm sober - I work in a pub so it's all part of the service there, but it means my tolerance at home is very limited - busman's holiday!

I dont drink and have never been drunk.

It depends on the person though. When my brother gets drunk he buys everyone Chinese takeaways.

Mostly annoying. The most annoying part is although they get more annoying, they think they're getting wittier, and cleverer, and sexier etc etc

Yes, DP and I rarely drink . When we're out with friends who are tipsy he finds it quite amusing but I find it really annoying, all the pointless giggling and slurring, it's like they have an 'in-joke' that I'm not part of. If its people he's not so close to he does find it a bit annoying, so usually ends up having a couple of drinks in a kind of 'can't beat them, join them' way.

When I do drink I get loud and over-share, so best that I don't!

If he was offering everyone prawn crackers on a late night bus departing from Bank/St Pauls a couple of weeks ago, I've met him!

Op - yes.

I love being drunk, and drunk people when I genuinely have no worries left, then all seems OK.

Its when you are kind of hanging on to something you need to do, or want to carry on thinking about later, or are in a period of constant stress, or are the one organising the taxi, or in a house where you don't know people that drunkness gets kind of grating.

If for example I'd just got paid, won the lottery, was wearing clothes I liked in an environment where they were appropriate, didn't have any appointments till tuesday and wasn't worrying about my age, was with people who were all friends and listening to music that doesn't give me the rage, its all fine getting drunk on a Saturday.

If, however, I am trying to remember that I need to get up at 9am tomorrow, am in work clothes in a goth bar, and wasnt sure if the people I was with really liked me, my own drunkenness and theirs would be rage inducing.

HTH..

Also if I am in a situation where I feel ok about everything, like if I know that I am not meeting till tuesday or have a t-shirt on, like you know what I mean when you feel like.. I mean you know feeling comfortable yeah with what you are like who you are with and yeah feel like oh that's cool!! !lets dance.. ??!? gooon go on.. like if you are with people that like get you I mean and you have a dress, its so lovely and

I have to be moderately drunk when I'm with friends or it becomes clear that they aren't as funny or witty as I believe, just slurry and incoherent. I'm under no illusion this applies to me too. Plus alcohol makes me play pool better. Or maybe I just don't notice how rubbish I am...

So annoying.

Which is what makes class parents' meet-ups such a bore.

Drunk cool young people are annoying, but can pull it off; drunk middle-aged people not so much.

Of course you play pool better. Everyone knows that's scientific fact

Drunk people are annoying to everyone else who isn't drunk.

I don't get loud, aggressive or anything when I am drunk. Am told I am a lovely drunk. But I am well aware I am fucking annoying just by being drunk when others aren't

Personally I think I am more annoying when tipsy...when I go into uncontrollable giggle fits for no reason at all...

Hugely annoying. Often unbearable.

The only person I can tolerate drunk when I'm sober is my DH, and that's because he's a lovely quiet drunk. And because it's only a few times a year.

If I'm sober and with inlaws I don't mind them being drunk because they get very chatty and nice. I do like joining in on their drinking too.

My husband is a shit drunk, he falls asleep .

My Mum is a shit sober person as she starts tutting and rolling her eyes, she really hates women that drink. At family events like Christmas we have resorted to wine boxes, red so they don't need to be in the fidge and multiples of the same type. That way she can't count the bottles or see how much we've drunk. As a child I used to dread my Dad walking through the door because she would turn into a sniffer dog and start ranting about the smell of alochol. She would find any reason to start shouting at him and getting moody but the imaginary smell of alcohol was her go to.
