    Christmas party at the weekend. Can't remmember last 4 hours of it or how I got home. Knowing me I prob did something ridiculously stupid especially trying to get stuck into girls in the office.

    Should I ask someone or let it lie until someone mentions it?

    Leave it. If you made a big enough dick out of yourself then someone will mention it.

    Also, if only for the sake of your fellow co-workers or drinking buddies then maybe cop on with the volume of booze you are drinking.

    Nothing worse than being the person who can be relied on to need to make apologies the next day.

    If there's a mate in work you can discreetly get the low-down from then do so, better to know ahead of time exactly what you may or may not ave done than suddenly being assailed in work because you cracked onto the wrong woman, or did whatever.

    Otherwise try to laugh off any stupidity on your part, whatever ma or may not have gone down if you're seen to be really bothered by it then people will never stop taking the mick out of you over it. Play it cool, and laugh it off.

    Don't ask around. If you did something you will hear about it.

    Something happened me at my Crimbo do this year and I didn't want it being gossiped about (someone grabbed me and stuck her head in for a kiss which I was not happy with). she thinks it's being talked about and is happy with that idea but I would have been approache by a few people here and had comments made by the lads if they knew.

    I agree with 'camroc76' on this.

    Personally, i wouldn't worry about it. As, 'camroc76' says, your workmates will have been as locked as you were, some probably worse.

    I just attended my work Christmas Party in a large hotel in Dublin last Saturday night, which basically descended into a booze-a-thon from 7:30pm till 5am on Sunday morning. I'm on my holidays at the moment, but believe me i'll be amazed if anybody who was in work today can even remember what they were doing for half the night!.....it's Monday, and i'm suffering what feels like a delayed hangover.

    Funnily enough, i can recall...somehow getting into the Residents Bar with the rest of the work crew, even though i wasn't staying there. Then going upstairs to a party in one of the lads rooms, before being eventually turfed out by Security at about 4:50am...

    ....everybody, usually traditionally gets well oiled at these things, so i wouldn't even worry about it. There'll be plenty of people country-wide making apologies earlier this morning!!!!:D

    I agree with you Dave, these Crimbo bashes usually descend into booze-a-thons...pints, shorts and god knows what else in peoples systems!?!...

    ....why worry when the rest of your work mates are well gargled?

    Sounds like a normal Christmas party to me. Don't mention it unless anyone brings it up.

    Something similar happened at my Crimbo bash two weeks ago....there was about 40 of us from work, roughly half were staying in the hotel..and how we all got into the Residents bar, is beyond me...i was elephants, pissed.

    Ours was a booze-a-thon also, but in saying that it was great craic.

    There is something almost surreal about drinking with your fellow work-mates at about 4am, but all's good when everybody is on the same level.
    :D
