Stupid Drama And More Drunks

[Boozy]

I don't know where you all find these friends of yours.

I have hosted many parties in my home, and served copious amounts of alcohol at each. Never have I had anything broken nor had any need to physically intervene with a guest.

There are people who can drink (and even get very drunk) without turning into savages. Most of my friends just raise their voices a bit, maybe "over-share" a little. Nothing terribly embarassing.

My crew used to have regular parties that involved copious amounts of drinking, and we, too, didn't have issues with unruly drunks or damage to the premises. We were all young 20-somethings at the time (some of us not legally allowed to drink, yet, even).

I wonder if it has to do with not all invitiees knowing the host.

This last time, the random crazy drunk....he had no clue that everyone else was friends. He must have thought it was a random party or just been that drunk that he couldn't put two and two together.

There is always something, usually it's because someone invited someone they shouldn't have, but my friends and bf.....they have their own quirks. Not a one of them can properly handle any amount of alcohol......there is always drama or a fight (not always physical, sometimes just a soap opera spatter) or disagreement, someone's house always ends up dirty or messed up. No one except me (and maybe one or two other people who have to drive) seems to understand that getting so drunk you can't walk and getting to the point of taking pictures off the wall and knocking shit over......it's not funny and you need to stop and probably go home.

after reading this AND your birthday party gone wrong...I'm sorry and by all means rant at me
WHY are you still friends with this couple and I know you must love your BF but if he upsets and hurts you that much or continues to not keep your feelings in mind why are you still with him too?

IMO it might be best to drop them all as they drink, don't take into consideration that you don't like drinking if ever and ruin things for you or throw a fit when you really do want to go home.
Trying to cover most points, plus if its the whole being alone or without a significant other, being without them compared to being alone or lonely sounds better. Or at least make some new friends if possible.
would suggest mean ways but...as its been said its mean and thats wrong (rolls eyes...) nothing wrong with entertaining a thought without enacting it

You have every right to ask that. They certainly have their quirks, don't they.

What really gets me is that they all think that it's no big deal and I always over-react, and that I shouldn't let these little episodes detour me from going out and having fun..........it's like, after so many of these episodes, I just want to hide at home forever. These episodes start becoming the norm, and it's been proven that none of them can act even halfway adult-like or show any kind of self control.

It's so hard to find people who are at a happy medium between knowing when to stay home, and knowing when to go out. Around here, you're either a shut in who doesn't do anything whatsoever, or a complete alchy who can't go one weekend without going out drinking. There is hardly anyone in between, or hardly anyone who is like me and can just go out and be happy with a drink or two and alcohol isn't the reason they go out.

You need to move to this area Blas. . Would be nice to have somebody to go do things with that didn't have to involve alcohol. Yes, the freebies/perks of being THE DD are good, but not only am I not a drinker I can't drink. Watching people act stupid loses its appeal eventually.

[Greenday]

Move to Afghanistan with me. There's no drinking allowed.

I don't get anything for free for being DD, other than water. And I don't think the big sandbox is a place for me.

I just wish I had a different group of friends, or the ones I have would grow the hell up.
