Right so I got drunk on Friday (really bad I know and Im not doing it again) and my friend was being really nice about it. But now all she can do is say how Im making a massive deal out of it and I was probably just ACTING drunk and that I wasnt drunk at all because I didnt drink as much as she did. I cant see why she doesnt understand that I really was drunk. I couldnt walk straight, I was laughing at everything and saying things Id never say sober and I had a horrible headache for the rest of the night and very almost chucked my guts up.
Im not proud that I got intoxicated, but I learnt my lesson and all I can now is forget about it and joke about it if anyone else brings it up. Im just not seeing why my friend is so 'OMG YOU WERE SO NOT DRUNK YOU COULDNT HAVE BEEN OMG OMG' to me. Ive never really had alcohol before and Im not used to it so obviously Id be more of a lightweight. I dont know how to say to her that I was drunk, without sounding like I was proud of it. Ive apologised to her for the way I acted (which wasnt bad anyway, I was just giving people hugs and laughing) and she says shes not angry at me. But she keeps on saying how she knows I wasnt drunk when in my own mind, I know I was.
How can I get her to see that Im not proud of getting drunk that night but I really genuinely was drunk and wasnt just acting to get attention?? Help please, and no bashing me for drinking, everyone drinks some time.

Chicken_flavored_eggs answered Monday November 21 2005, 4:17 pm: The thing I don't understand is why is her reaction such a big deal? If you are not proud of being drunk, then her reaction shouldn't matter. She is being an idiot and being immature. I don't know if that makes you feel any better or not. You could try to reason with her if you really wanted to, because, alcohol has different effects on different people. If you are smaller than her or weigh less, it will take less alcohol to effect you. If she had eaten and you hadn't, that also causes alcohol to enter your system much faster. If she had drank before and like you said you haven't that could also be a reason why you would not have had as much and still been drunk. Those are all reasonable explainations as to why you were, in fact, actually drunk. (or sooo you claim...ha, just kidding) Let it roll off your back, she sounds like she had to be the most drunk that night for her to feel worth while. If she isn't believing you now, she probably won't in the future.

I think she is the one with the problem here! I wou;dn't be proud if I were you either! Just talk to her and tell her that you are telling the truth and she is making a huge deal about it. If she still says you were pretending to be drunk you obviously need to take a little brake form her for a while and let her realize that she was wrong. and that the you getting drunk thing won't happen agian.
