Who can't stand being around drunk people when you are sober?

[Bouncy Ball]

Meeee!!!

Can't. Stand. It.

Now if the person is drunk and I can barely tell, I really don't care. And I don't think it's totally jealousy (though that is a factor, let's be honest).

I think it's just that, to a sober person, a drunk person really is pretty obnoxious 90% of the time. I've rarely ever found a person I find charming when they are drunk and I'm not.

You've got the "Get Totally Angry About Every Slight They've Ever Suffered" drunk, who is TOTALLY obnoxious.

You've got the drunk person who starts crying and telling random people how much they love them. This person WOULD be entertaining, but dammit they are being SERIOUS and you better take their very eagerly sincere gestures seriously or they will quickly morph into Angry Drunk (see above).

Then you've got Horny Drunk. Which I can't talk about too much here, except to say that this type is really only ok if you are as drunk as they are. (That's from a woman's pov. A hetero guy might not mind a Horny Girl Drunk too much.)

There's the drunk person who insists on telling you their whole sordid, sad life story with lots of verbal detours to places with no point. Kill me now.

Mean Drunk is another type, NOT to be confused with Angry Drunk. Any drunk person can quickly become Angry Drunk, but thank goodness very few (I've found) are true Mean Drunks. They're just fucking MEAN and nasty, no two ways about it. NOT good to be around.

Any one of these types can act like Immortal Drunk, which is a dangerous thing to be. ("Hey wash this guys! Wash this! I'm gonna go out on this ledge....")

I also just want to say I hate it when the person or people I am with get WAY ahead of me on the drinking. That pisses me off. Give a person a chance.

1. I can't stand to be around my mother in law when she's drunk

She's either very very angry, or waaaay too lovey!

[khashka]

2. I don't like it either

cuz I just keep thinking "Don't bogart the bourbon, you selfish bastard!"

Khash.

[HeyManThatsCool]

3. I hate being around SLOPPY drunks when I'm sober

Its just bad

[Bouncy Ball]

5. Define sloppy drunk, please.

I'm curious.

[Huckebein the Raven]

8. When they spill and drop stuff and are staggering around

I don't like being around sloppy drunks either

[Bouncy Ball]

12. Oh God, I forgot about that kind.

I hate being sober around a sloppy drunk. Of course, if I've been drinking too, I hardly notice it. One time my husband couldn't open a jar when he was drunk, but I had been drinking so I thought it was hilarious. I tried to open it, nope. So we just laughed and set it down, and we both couldn't remember why he wanted to open it in the first place.

But if I had been sober I would have been thinking "God, stop it, just go pass OUT somewhere."

[HeyManThatsCool]

23. The husband story isnt bad, it is funny

Sloppy drunks to me are normally girls I find in the bathroom at clubs who spill their make up bag everywhere, fall out of their high heels & need to be carried out of the bathroom by either a bunch of friends or security. The entire time they tend to be saying random, inane shit like, "I cant help myself, I want to stalk the singer & take him home" or "Im so drunk I could make out with you right now"

[Huckebein the Raven]

24. I don't mind so much when I've had a few either

it's annoying when your blitzed friends interrupt you when you are trying to talk to women.

[HeyManThatsCool]

21. Yes, they fall, stumble, roll around....

Bascially have no balance.

4. I can't stand obnoxious drunks-

even when I'm drunk!

I don't get angry, weepy, horny, immortal. I just get giddy, giggly, and love to talk politics! It just opens me up and gets me going.

While I admit, I get a little bit louder- I speak softly to begin with. :)

I tend not to drink with angry/mean/weepy/horny drunks, though, as they always kill my buzz. I hate buzz-kills!

I admit, too- sometimes I just don't like being around a drunk person because I'm broke and don't have my own drink. :P

[Bouncy Ball]

9. Yeah but how do you know they're gonna

be one of those type of drunks unless you've gone drinking with them before?

And not everyone is that type every time. I'll cop to it: I've been the crying/love everyone drunk, but that's rare (I have to be pretty far gone and that just hardly ever happens).

But I've never been angry drunk, mean drunk, or immortal drunk.

Mostly I just get even goofier than I am now. Which seems to be pretty entertaining to those around me, the rare occasions it happens.

LOL!

[Ariana Celeste]

26. I've been the love-everyone type before

That was when I was new to drinking in a group.

I'll give a new person a try- but I don't meet a whole lot of new people. :P

I have a buddy, she's my best friend, who brings over new people all the time- but she knows all of them well enough not to bring over someone I won't like lol! If they act a way I don't like, I simply ask her not to bring them around again unless they are sober.

My man's ex-roommate/ex-band buddy was the kind of drunk that just... gets passive-aggressive. So, I quit feeding him my liquor :D.

Back when I went to larger parties, I would simply hang around the few people I enjoyed, in a different room from the people that bothered me.


Like you- I get goofy, and just super talkative. I've yet to meet a person who wasn't entertained!

You are right though- you can't tell until you've drank with them- so I just choose not to drink with them again, and it seems to work!

[Blue-Jay]

6. Hey! *I'm* a charming drunkard!

Ask anyone.

[Bouncy Ball]

13. I'm sure you are!

:toast:

[sasquatch]

7. I can't stand being around Sober people when I'm drunk

They always get mad at me for urinating in the sink.
:beer::toast:

[Bouncy Ball]

11. THAT'S another thing I forgot!

I can remember being drunk on a few occasions around sober people (a few of them were sober) and they REALLY annoyed me.

I don't think sober and drunk people can co-exist very peacefully.

[Blue-Jay]

15. I can take a leak in the kitchen sink

Welcome to my world!

[stepnw1f]

10. Drunk People Have the Personality

of a Republican.

They are completely unaware and absolutely irresponsible to people around them. In fact, they have no sense of self, which makes it easy for them to act like complete assholes.

[MrSlayer]

14. I have fun with it. Pick their pockets, try to make them throw up.

You have to make the best of it.

[Bouncy Ball]

17. I guess that's true.

On my 21st birthday, I was drunker than Cooter Brown and my then-fiance kept trying to say things to get me to puke. He described fried eggs, old custard, etc. Didn't work.

That night we had gone to some sports bar and I got a free pitcher because it was my birthday (had to show my drivers license). Well, I went to a different bartender each time and kept getting free pitchers.

Remember that song "Momma Said Knock You Out?" Well they played that and I got all excited and started air punching and couldn't judge distance too well and popped my almost-husband (we got married a month later) RIGHT in the nose. His nose was just healing from being hurt when he was in Desert Storm, so that was pretty bad.

I ended up being carried out of there, first and last time I had to be carried out of a public place.

Ah the shame.

[Dez]

16. I don't ever like to be around drunks n/t

[Bouncy Ball]

19. Since leaving college, I rarely ever am.

But it's still not pleasant if you aren't in the same state of mine they're in!

[miss_kitty]

18. Me

drunk people are to avoid me at all costs-even when I'm drunk.

[Bouncy Ball]

20. Eh?

Explain?

[miss_kitty]

25. I can't stand being around drunks

My drunk friends know not to call me and burn up my time when they are drunk. And I can't stand drunk people when I'm drunk. just funny that way. I rarely drink. I have a beer in the fridge. I bought it a few weeks ago. Not feeling like drinking it now. Just not a drinker. Nor a drunk tolerator.

[Swede]

22. Ah that's just drunk talk, sweet beautiful drunk talk.

I find most drunks just want to have fun.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

27. I think I would be the unmentioned; mean to drunks when sober..

Sometimes when I'm the DD and I'm bored since I'm not finding most of the jokes to be funny or the conversation stimulating. I start teasing the drunks. I find it amusing to try and get them to say words like inebriated. Persuade them they're being watched by the bouncer so they had better act sober (nothings as funny as watching a drunk try and appear sober), etc. Hey, it keeps me entertained and everyone still gets home safe. :)

[Kahuna]

28. Me! I've actually thought about doing bodily harm to drunks...

I think they use being drunk as an excuse to annoy and be obnoxious. I was once stuck on a Circle Line cruise with a date who got drunk. I wanted to throw him overboard. It was truly the date from hell.
