So what's the issue? Your child was with her other parent, you weren't making a nuisance of yourself...?

SillyOP · 02/07/2025 12:43

Are you still drunk now?

MiseryIn · 02/07/2025 12:44

Unless you drove home this sounds like a standard night out.

FrenchandSaunders · 02/07/2025 12:44

Who said you were slurring?

ShamrockShenanigans · 02/07/2025 12:45

Did you press post too soon?

sameshizz · 02/07/2025 14:09

I’m guessing as you’re posting in Relationships that your dp has had a go at you for being drunk?

ShamrockShenanigans · 02/07/2025 14:22

You say you were 'offered' them but then you started a thread yesterday saying you'd had 9 pints of beer, and didn't realise until you'd checked your bank account.

How many were you offered on top of the 9 pints and do you have an alcohol problem OP?

MrsTerryPratchett · 02/07/2025 14:23

The most common date rape drug is alcohol. Were you safe, OP? Is your partner angry? What’s going on?

DiscoPig · 02/07/2025 14:27

OP, I've looked at a few of your other posts which are nearly all semi-incoherent appeals for help in a crisis, and it's clear you are very vulnerable, and that you have, in the past, had MH problems and struggles with addiction. It doesn't sound as if you should be drinking, for your own sake.

Do you have RL support at the moment?

Wolfiefan · 02/07/2025 16:09

I agree. It doesn’t sound like you should be drinking and I hope you have RL support.

Are you still drunk now?

it would seem so

Ilovelurchers · 02/07/2025 16:43

OP, I realise that getting out of control when drunk can lead to feelings of shame and even self loathing - many of us have been there.

You need to forgive yourself - it doesn't even sound like anything that terrible happened?

You also need to consider quitting alcohol if you don't want this to happen again. Like many people, I am much happier since I made that choice!

I do agree with the poster above who mentioned spiking - if you are fairly sure you only drank within your usual limits, yet became a lot more impaired than usual, is this a possibility?

MageQueen · 02/07/2025 16:50

I assume you're being told by someone yo uwree an embarassment? Behaved badly? etc. But without more info and more context it's impossible to judge. Overall, I'd say a grown woman getting a bit drun when she's not looking after children is no big deal at all. Driving would be a problem.

Purplecatshopaholic · 02/07/2025 16:58

What’s the problem op? Sounds like a non-issue tbh.

Americanpiefan · 02/07/2025 17:20

Clearly too drunk for any punctuation

RealEagle · 02/07/2025 19:46

And!!!!!!!!!

Hippychickbbbb · 02/07/2025 21:28

Im not drunk

FlipFlopShopInHawaii · 02/07/2025 21:30

Ok...... and what?

Wolfiefan · 02/07/2025 21:32

So you drink some alcohol and got a bit drunk? What’s the issue and why is this in relationships??

Smartiepants79 · 02/07/2025 21:33

Is there a point to this??

Livpool · 02/07/2025 21:53

So?!

FieldInWhichFucksAreGrownIsBarren · 02/07/2025 22:08

Ok, if you want any sort of advice you are going to have to be a little more forthcoming with information.

mindutopia · 02/07/2025 22:21

I mean you sound a bit drunk.

HappyToSmile · 03/07/2025 07:13

You're going to have to explain a bit more. You got drunk/drank more than you would and.....? Has your partner got annoyed?

TheWisePlumDuck · 03/07/2025 07:19

My answer to this depends on your age, prior drinking experience and age of dd.

In your early 20's and haven't really drunk much before? Then you've made a common mistake and will learn from this, don't worry about it.

Older but have not long had dd and haven't realised yet that you often can't handle alcohol the same? That's OK, you've figured out that your safe limit has changed.

If you are over late 20's, have drunk multiple times before and dd is over a year old... you need to grow up. There is nothing as unattractive or irresponsible as a grown ass adult who cant drink responsibly.
