Drinking game gone wrong. Apologise?

Why

Because you're coming on here urging someone you don't know to get help over a trivial story. It seems you'd have half or Ireland going to AA meetings if you got your way. Most the people I know who drink have done something stupid whilst drunk.

What I'd give to see the missus' reaction when she saw the knickers on the OP!!!!
A tad ****ed up,but then who hasn't made an arse out of themselves with drink in this place?

A guy getting drunk and doing something stupid is an alcoholic in your book? Seems to me you're the one who hasn't a clue.

Nice attempt at covering up the fact that you didn't seem to know that an alcoholic doesn't even have to have a drink in order to be one.

The rest of your point depends on your definition of "something stupid", and putting your skid marks on someone else's underwear is WELL beyond that.

Putting them on a mate's wife's underwear is even further beyond that.

The OP also admitted that his OH had advised him not to drink, and he himself felt the need to "show that he can handle his drink", which clearly indicates that there is a pattern of alcohol abuse there to be sorted out; unfortunately the OP has attempted to "sort that out" by showing "he can handle drink", which he obviously can't.

If you view all of that as "something stupid", then fire away with your views, but don't dare lecture me about not having a clue.

After a few months on the dry my OH finally gave me permission to go for a few drinks round at my friend’s house.
She warned me about my behaviour and I was out to prove to her that I was a changed mature man who could handle ones drink.
Everything was going well until the beer ran dry and we started drinking wine and spirits (whiskey).
Our host Tom ( not his real name ) fell asleep after a while and we decided to have some fun.
We raided Toms wife’s (who is quite the looker) wardrobe and started trying on her clothes on and fooling around having a laugh.
That’s all I remember.
Yesterday at home I was rudely awoken by a very angry OH holding a pair of red knickers demanding an explanation.
I told her the story backed up by images from my phone.
She is totally peed off with me now but not as much as Tom and his wife are, apparently all her good sexy stuff is in bits and her room a mess.
We have a wedding this weekend and the OH doesn’t want to go as Tom & wife will be there, and she has banned me from drink. I really want to go as all the lads will be there and I want to prove that I can handle my drink.
Do you think I should go round to Toms and apologise to his wife hence tricking the OH into thinking that it is ok to go to wedding and have a session?

please god grow a set,tell your missus to stop being a drama queen,get a beer go to the wedding and post pissed on ah.......as for your mate and his wife well you're on your own there:pac:

I said you haven't a clue because you were the one asking me 'did I know what an alcoholic was'. Don't get so precious when I said something similar back.

I've been around alcoholics for many years - some family members, I've seen the destruction it can cause and I've seen families ripped apart by it first hand.

You accused the opening poster of being one. To me that's out of order. The only information you had to go on was of one story - albeit a very daft one.

The alcoholic I know drinks near enough on a daily basis, puts drink before everything and everyone they love. The alcoholic I know drink drives, pisses a fortune up against the wall, doesn't look after themselves and is depressed beyond belief but can't seek help. Did you gather any signs like that in the opening post? If you did then you have wisdom beyond your years.

Your post suggested that the OP couldn't be an alcoholic because they hadn't drunk in a while, therefore my question was perfectly valid; your post was different because it said "do you have a clue".

If your post was over-simplified, then that's not my fault, and no need to attack me over it.

As for the rest of the stuff, the OP was asked not to drink because of previous drinking issues and still went on a macho binge to prove that he could handle excess drink, which he obviously couldn't.

He then went on to do lots of stuff that even irritating hammered people wouldn't consider.

That may not indicate an "alcoholic" per-se, but it does indicate a serious drink problem.

Having highlighted the pertinent sections and re-read your post, i can not see any possibility of this wedding ending in disaster. You carry on my good man, and do report on the outcome. Feel free to involve some snaps of "toms" wife, even if they are not strictly relevant to the story!

HERE, HERE!!! (preferably in said "sexy red underwear" :P)
