AIBU to think 'sensible' is being used as an insult

I was in the pub last night and a friends Mum who was really pissed said I reminded her of her own mum, being disapproving and looking my nose down at people as I was so sensible. I felt really hurt by this and have no idea where this has come from. AIBU to say anything to my friend about it?

I think she probably thinks she's a "cool mum/person" because she likes to get drunk, and she wants to make herself look cooler than her son's friends. Don't worry about it or say anything she sounds insecure.

You both sound insecure tbh but she sounds nasty.

However, you should've pulled her up at the time, it's too late now.

I think pulling any drunk person up at the time is definitely not the right time. I would wait until they're sober to rationally discuss things.
