Another drink issue question

LegacyUser

i have cut down on drink alot since my early 30's and only have an odd beer some weekends, but was at a wedding recently and got stuck into it like everyone else but ended up having a black out, the next day i woke up with a terrible feeling and was told i was abusing people and just being a fool falling around the place, my head is now wreaked over it and dont know what to do, should i try to find out what exactly happened and try to apologise to the people i abused or should i just try and forget about the whole thing and move on and not let it happen again, the people who i think i abused are friends of friends and i rarely see them and i dont know exactly what was said

I think you should let it go if you dont know the people involved and also leave the drink alone for a while.

Dont drink again.

If you regret what you did to the point that you are uppset by it, it makes sence not to touch the stuff.

If you can get in touch with whover, or meet them again, make a polite apology and leave it at that

An apology goes a long way. At our work Xmas party last year, one guy got completely out of it and insulted (mostly verbal) a lot of people, although he also managed to slam a door unknowingly on a senior's face. I then had an altercation in the street with him afterwards when I tried to stop him pinning some random girl against a wall!!

He went round each person the following week, apologised and blamed it on excessive drinking, and has been pretty normal/quiet since then on any nites out.

Ask family members/friends what was said and to whom. Then send a text or make a phone call apologising to those people. Try to take it easy on the drink.

op here again, i did text a friend to say sorry but didnt get a reply and that was 2 days ago, now its really doing my head in, i think i will just let it go now and put it down to experience and know the next time to take it easy on the drink

I tend to get quite abusive when im drunk I shout and say things I dont mean. It happened recently with one of my best friends she was pretty upset with me but I gave her a heartfelt apology and now things are ok again but I was pretty ashamed for awhile. I think its hard for some people to accept that when your drunk you can become a completly different person and that you didnt mean the things you said. I would lay low on the alcohol scene for awhile and try to forget about it...i know its hard especially when you have no idea what you said or why people are mad at you....but trust me it'll blow over.

OP: I would seriously advise you to give up drinking. If it is becoming a burden on your family members, and if you have consistently have had problems with it, how can you be sure this won't crop up again in the future?

Best of luck
