Aibu about drunk dh

First time posting in aibu so please go easy! Just wanted some opinions on whether I'm over reacting or not. My dh went out last night for his birthday, we had no childcare so I stayed home with ds and he went out with friends which was pre-arranged and I didn't mind. I told him don't get "throw up drunk" and he promised he wouldn't. About twice a year he will go so drunk he will come home puking and in a right state, normally after big blow out occasions. I asked him not to go that far because he has work today, albeit only for a few hours at lunch time but still, we also have plans to go out with ds after he finishes work. Anyway, he came home at 4am, I was woke by the sound of him wretching and when I steered him to sleep on the sofa (ds was in our bed with me), discovered he'd already puked on the living room floor!!!! He's never done this before, always makes it to the bathroom, so I've been doubly upset as he's got so drunk after promising he wouldn't and he's thrown up in the living room like wtf? We haven't talked yet as he's gone to bed now since I got up with ds but I just wanted some opinions of is this is a "moan and move on" situation or is this a "stick to your guns and seriously argue about it" situation? Thanks

Oh it's hard. I totally get how it makes you anxious. I hate it when my DH is drunk. That said it was his birthday and I can see how he got carried away, having a good time. However, throwing up in the lounge is not on and is revolting. I would be flipping fuming. Hope he is cleaning the carpet and you're not doing it.

Maxthemartian!
My "dismal view of men" is not about ALL men ALL the time.
I was merely relating my experience as a Licensee of how SOME men can get into a drunken state, when on a "boys" night out.
For your information, I really like MOST men, they were my core customer and I counted quite a few of them as friends.
Hth!

I think I'd think it was hilarious. Probably as I've done it too. Last year had friends over and frank to much red wine and was nearly sick on our two day old carpet!
I think when you don't drink much your tolerance level goes down. We barely drink anymore so if we ever go out on a big night out it will take days to recover. Hence barely ever doing it.
I'd prob take the moral high ground and look disgusted but inside I know I'd be gleeful at the stick I'd give him.
My DP threw up prawns all over our hallway ( luckily wooden floor) I came in from work late and found prawns on the floor and was totally confused until I went upstairs and found him whimpering in bed.
He had to replace the duvet and the sofa from that night out and it's over 10 years ago and I still love regailing the story.

userplusnumbers there is no drip feed whatsoever about his birthday, it says in the original post that he was going out for his birthday with friends!

No he doesn't drive actually, he walks to work.

Its not only unpleasant but also no good for his health. My ex used to drink too much regularly. He didn't throw up, but he did fall down on the lounge floor and wet himself. He died at a relatively young age. My Dsis also died from liver disease.
