Would you believe your boyfriend if he told you he drank beer and Pepsi by mistake?
Question Posted Sunday July 31 2011, 12:53 am
My boyfriend promised me he wouldnt drink because i felt uncomfortable about it, said he went on vacation with his friends , and his friend gave him alcohol mixed with another drink, i think it was pepsi, i dont really know anything about alcohol, but he said that he drank by mistake, didnt know it was alcohol and that it wasnt his fault, and as soon as he realized how strong it was and that it was alcohol he didnt drink it, i dont know if hes lying, cause when i asked if he drank he said if he were to drink hed get wasted, hes the type of guy thats like "If you wanna do something wrong,do it right" so he said if he really wanted to do it he would have done more, and it was a mistake it could happen to anyone, my question is, can u really not tell the diff? or is he lying to me?... thank you..

If you pressurize him, chances are he could be lying. So you need to tell him that you'll love him no matter what and you'll forgive him as long as he's honest. If he admits that he did drink, maintain your composure and tell him that you love him and how you feel about him getting wasted. The way you phrase your statements is a key factor in changing people. Look on the bright side, he'll be amazed over your concern for him and may swear that he wont ever drink again (IF he supposedly did)
I hope my answer helped. One more thing. Paranoia is the prime factor that destroys relationships like fungus. So if you do confront him in a calm manner and he still doesnt admit that he got wasted, BELIEVE HIM. It's simple logic. Why would he lie when you tell him that you're willing to forgive him?

Ever heard of jungle juice? Well, if you're ever at a party and are offered some, don't drink it. It tastes like punch but it's actually a TON of alcohol and juice mixed together and gets you drunk wicked fast.
So yeah, it's entirely plausible that your boyfriend drank from what he thought was Pepsi and didn't realize for a few sips it was mixed with something. I'll give your boyfriend the benefit of the doubt here, for a few reasons:
1. If there wasn't much alcohol/something high quality, it could have tasted like a flat Pepsi or just plain Pepsi even. Coke is a popular drink mixer (rum and coke, jack and coke) and its taste covers a lot of things..
I can't imagine beer going unnoticed, but mixed with cola, it might be. I'm really not sure on that one 'cause I've never had it in any form(I am repulsed by the smell of it, haha). I doubt it was beer, because as alcohol goes it's ineffective as a mixer (12 ounces of beer = 1.5 ounces of liquor like vodka, rum, etc).
2. If he was eating something spicy, the burn or aftertaste of the food may have covered the burn of a strong alcohol
3. He stopped when he realized there was alcohol in it.
and most importantly..
4. He told you about it.
I really think that if he wanted to get drunk and ignore your wishes, he would have. And he wouldn't have told you about it because you wouldn't have found out (he was on vacation). I'd give him a pass this time.
HOWEVER. If this becomes his story every weekend, I'd start being suspicious of his actions :)
Side story, this actually happened to a friend of mine. He was sick with a sore throat and eating a spicy meat lover's pizza. His friends poured his glass with half Sprite, half vodka. He drank the whole thing without realizing anything, because his throat already hurt and he could barely taste anything. Only about 20 minutes later, when the vodka really started to affect him, did he realize he had just had four shots along with a soda. (His friends thought someone had told him it was a mixed drink...)
SO. Like I said, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt this time.
