To not see the attraction?

Went on a much awaited night out/event. Beginning of the night was fine because everyone just turned into drunken animals!! Falling off chairs. Drinks flying, fights breaking out. It was crazy. I just do not see the attraction of getting so drunk you don't know what you're doing. Why get that drunk that you fall about every where. Fall on people, be sick and have huge hangover the next day?? Surely have a few so you're a tipsy drunk is better? For context I'm almost 30. AIBU or just a grump

Sounds like the saloon scene in a rubbish western.

honesttogod · 09/02/2020 00:42

Where do you go and who do you go out with to be falling all over everything?

The Bullingdon Club?

Was a bingo/party event. They hold them all over the country. I'd say most people were 30 and above. The girls next to us where lifting their dresses and flashing. Assaulting the poor drinks guy. Licking him, hands all in his face. One girl was doing forward rolls on the floor. One had lost her shoes. It was carnage l! We left early

Most of the room was like this. Question is why get sooooo drunk?

Which town? Or even just county?

PickleMyPepper · 09/02/2020 00:57

Bonkers bingo by any chance? Or bingos bingo?

They're renowned for this sort of behaviour.

PawPawNoodle · 09/02/2020 00:57

Maybe a half glass of sauvignon down the country pub would suit you better next time.

PickleMyPepper · 09/02/2020 00:59

Bongos bingo that should say.

When you mix bingo with a rave and add in stupid games plus cheap alcohol - recipe for disaster.

It's so random too. My friend went and won a hoover, it didn't have a box.
She had to carry a hoover home.
Mad.

It's the first night of my holiday with 6 people and most of them kicked off with each other or other people Hmm. I left early because I was slightly drunk and knew I didn't want to be in bed all day with hangover. The kicking off IMHO, is more to do with your personality /past buried hurts and/or the fact that you cannot handle or control your emotions - not the drink itself.

Omg sounds bloody awful. People don’t get out much and then become idiotic twats.

I feel for you boxer yea totally agree with you about past and emotions. Smallest things can trigger people. Ive realised tonight I just don't like being around drunk people. Am I alone in this and a bore now?? It just does not appeal to me. One of these women next to me was a mum to a toddler so that will be fun in the morning

Maybe you should choose your idea of an evening out more carefully.
I'd have been home on the next bus Shock

SapphireSeptember · 09/02/2020 01:21

That sounds like an...interesting...evening. I don't see the appeal either. I like to drink enough to get a buzz, but I've never been silly drunk.

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 09/02/2020 01:34

I've voted YABU - just because you never get silly drunk, doesn't mean everyone else doesn't want to.
We're all different.
Granted, I'd never flash my bits, or do forward rolls (I'd probs do my back in if I even tried nowadays Grin )
but people do still get pissed. Go somewhere more refined next time you're out, you might stay away from the pesky drunk people.

DiegoSaber · 09/02/2020 01:39

To dull the pain.

My mum was telling me about a night out they had in Scotland and a man walked into the bar wearing a kilt. One of the women from her group went over and asked him what he was wearing under his kilt. She then lifted his kilt up and showed off his bum to the whole bar. I was really shocked and said that was sexual assault. My mum said it was just everyone having a good laugh. I don't drink though Maybe the odd glass of wine. I don't think that kind of behavior is ok at all.

CSIblonde · 09/02/2020 02:12

Sounds like the Xmas do of a huge corporate I worked for. Carnage & ambulances as people drank til they passed out then stopped breathing every year: free bar sends normally sane people over the edge . They were permanently banned from one v posh Hotel after a fight with guests there at another party.

In a way, I wish my local pub was super lively like this. I would like a few lewd things going on once in a while. But not so here,, just three boring paunchy men,talking about cars, and two girls on there phones for three hours.

Are you up NORTH, People tend to like bingo parties up North. But not where I live now sadly.

Ponoka7 · 09/02/2020 06:38

PickleMyPepper, the highlight of the night is going home with a Henry.

Some people can't control what they drink. They don't think they have a problem, but it's another side of alcoholism. Others plan on binge drinking and think whatever happens is a laugh.

In many cases it won't just be drink. It spoils what could be a good night.

dayslikethese1 · 09/02/2020 06:46

Drunk people are so annoying. This is why I avoid wknd nights; town is just full of idiots leering, fighting and people being sick everywhere. And I love drinking, I just don't love being insanely drunk. I also hate it when drunk men wont leave you alone and think they're being oh-so-amusing. If that makes me boring/a grump I'm ok with that, I'm beyond the age of caring Grin
