Friend lied about my drinking habits

LegacyUser

Last weekend we had a girls night out- but we had a few in my friends before we hit the town. We were drinkn coors in bottles and 1 of my friends brought a bottle of balieys she had from xmas last year.I was not a fan of balieys so i didnt touch the stuff.

Later on in the evening i said id try some seen as it was the mint balieys not the normal 1. There were no glasses left so i took a swig outta the bottle, and during the course of he evening id about 3 more sups(as in like a swig u take from a bottle of beer)

When we were out in the nightclub we were all pretty drunk and i was in the bathroom when i heard my friends coming in- and my best friend proceeded to tell whoever she was talking to that i had "single handley drank all the baileys from the bottle" and that i was sum alco.

I didnt want a fight with drink in me so i said it to her the next day and her replay was "Did i say that- sorry i was messing"

Now i dont find this 1 bit bloody funny and she thinks im overreacting about this

It's not a big enough thing to lose a friend over. I'd imagine the person she said it to doesn't even remember it.

That's what the drink does though, tripping slightly coming back from the jacks becomes 'falling head over heels and crashing into all the tables and wrecking the gaff and being dragged out by the bouncers after the guards were called' when the story is being passed on.

to me it sounds like you're over reacting

Why are you taking such offence to something as trivial as how much you had to drink. Maybe she saw you drink from the bottle 3 times and then when she checked it the bottle was empty (in fairness she couldn't see how much of it you were drinking in a go)

have you never exagerated slightly on a story about any of your friends

If you want, bring it up with her again but then again you swigging from the bottle looks bad. Next time fill the cap and drink from that (more ladylike )

How much beer did you drink?

If you were drunk when you were having maybe you had more than you thought!
Did you ask permission from the owner of the bottle if it was okay to drink it
by the neck?
Could you not have washed a glass?

Maybe she was embarassed by your behaviour,
was everyone drinking the bailey's by the neck?I didnt want a fight with drink in me so i said it to her the next day and her replay was "Did i say that- sorry i was messing"

TBH you sound like you had one too many and were acting like a piss head.

I think if your friend acted like it was no big deal you should let it go,
you cant actually prove how much you had/hadn't

Let it go and next time wash a glass.

oh u poor thing-i feel so sorry for you-NOT.

i drank from the bottle BECAUSE there were no glasses she only has a few of em she only moved in ...every1 else had a glass and she told me to drink it from the bottle

I was drunk but i know how much i had to drink im not a piss head

Maybe she was embarassed by your behaviour,
was everyone drinking the bailey's by the neck?

SHE TOLD ME TO DRINK IT FROM THE NECK THERE WAS NO GLASSES


what annoyed me was she told the towns biggest gossips plus shes supposed to be my best friend

So, you drank to excess and then there was a rumour started that you drank to excess.

If this is the worse thing that happens to you all year, I'd call it a good one.

Maple

over reacting. you were twisted, maybe you didn't know how many swigs you actually had.

anyway, you felt it was an unfair comment, you called her on it and she's apologised. Not worth making a big deal about.

So is mint baileys nice then?

Boomstick and cowzerp: please read the cahrter on off topic, unhelpful posting

I think you need to develop a thicker skin. Otherwise youll spend a lot of your time fighting with people. You both had a lot to drink, and as you said this girl is a typical gossip. EVERYBODY says stupid stuff sometimes, especially when theyre drunk. This girl might do it more than most, but next week or the week after neither she nor anyone else will remember a thing about it. Its really not a biggie....put your wounded pride away and just let it go.

Look, ye were all drunk at the time. Who, when they're drunk, hasn't said something really stupid or decided to do something they wouldn't if they were sober. When people are drunk, their judgement can be impaired as is their perceptions of things. Maybe your friend thought it was the most hilarious thing to say at the time. Don't forget that what one person thinks is messing can be very hurtful to another. The best thing to do is to put it behind you and move on.

Katie, I think she means her friend said this thing about her drinking a bottle of Bailey's to a gossip rather than her being a gossip herself. You have two choices OP. Accept the apology or let it keep annoying you. Fair enough if she repeats this mistake then it's time to start moving on to a better friend.

your overreacting

Sounds like you think you drink too much. Why else would you react so badly? Little overly defensive here I think.

cast_iron

Women exaggerating the amount of drink they had.
Women making an issue out of nothing.
Next.

Silly comment passed when drink is involved are not worth worrying about if ya ask me. Forget it. Build a bridge, and get over it!

Just swallow your pride and move on. End of!!


Oh and.... as most said...... I too think you over reacted.

Personally if someone called me an alcoholic I'd just agree with 'em, saves a hell of alot of agro, plus they realise that they aren't getting to ya and will drop it!

See you have to have standards, you could have said 'No Thank You' when you were told there were no more glasses, really was it worth the hassle to try Mint Baileys ?

You are responsible for your behaviour and you should be aware of how your actions can look.

Either deal with the fact people will talk trash at any given oppertunity or make sure you conduct yourself in a manner that does not leave yourself open to comment.

Dunno about women, but a lad saying his mate drank the entire bottle, a few pints, and is still walking causes respect in some circles, disgust in others.

When you say you drank "as in like a swig u take from a bottle of beer", this means that your friend could be right. A few swigs like that, and half of the bottle would be gone (them bottles are usually small), so in essance, you may have finished the bottle off.

I can totally understand why youre p*ssed off. Friends can say the most inconsiderate things.
I say ride this one out and forgive your buddy- not worth being annoyed about it.
However, if she says anything like that again you should have her whacked!

i can't understand why she is pissed off it's such a trival innocent remark the friends made.
It's not like she let slip any personal secret or anything

its something spoken while drunk.
its not the end of the world.

why could you not have simply taken a few sips from a friends glass?
it seems to me the obviuos thing to do...

OP, you were reminded by someone else how much you drank, chances are you did over-indulge. I can get why you would be annoyed at being talked about, but maybe you should drink less? Black-outs are bad news. And it seems like you had a black-out in your friends flat.
