Then your not really a good friend imo. You don't have to condone everything they do. I hardly ever drink these days but there have been a few times in my life that I've gotten so paralytic, I probably couldn't even tell you my own name.
I didn't go out meaning to get into that state, but sometimes things in life happen then to find out that someone is not my friend the next day because of it...Well, It was probably worth it tbh

If it was a one off and totally out of character then I would feel sorry for them and try to help with whatever had made them drink that much. I just don't understand how someone keeps drinking to get into such a state .

Sometimes you don't feel how drunk you are. So you think 'i'll just have one more' Then the next thing you know your waking up in someones garden or a police cell. It's life, Things happen.
But if someone is a good friend to you in other ways, Why would you just ditch them because they make some bad life choices sometimes?

I would like also to say that just two weeks ago, a customer had too much too drink and on top of that had an epileptic fit

Not my bar, not my concern

Yet she was a female in a mess and needed help. So even though I was in socializing in different company I didn't hesitate in going in the ladies, forcing the door, getting her in recovery and cleaning her up so she wasn't embarrass when the paramedics arrived

A stranger to me really

I'm not looking a gold star, I'm just saying that sometimes you can and do go above and beyond what you really think is skanky to help some one in distress

If that makes me weird, then that's ok, I'll live with your judgement

Never ever ever happened to me.

Or anyone I know.

'These things happen' you say. (Ending up in PRISON after getting mortal drunk!)

Not to everyone they don't.

Maybe in your world.

Not in mine.


As for the post above me. ^^^ (Post 677' ) As people are moving the goalposts now to suit their argument; I shall now sign off and bid you all goodnight. :wave:

Getting so drunk that you wake up in a police cell doesn't just happen though, certainly not amongst the people I know. :eek: I support my friends but that doesn't mean condoning everything .

Peter, I could tell you some stories that would make your hair turn grey if it isn't already. But you'd probably accuse me of making stories up anyway so I won't bother but while things like that don't happen to YOU, Yes they do happen and they happen often if you look outside of your own black and white glasses.

Which is what I said? You don't have to condone everything they do. I don't condone everything my friends do and I'm pretty sure they don't condone everything I do but I've been friends with all of my friends for a long time and bar animal/child abuse, Their isn't much they could do in the world to make me ditch them!

That's very different and I hope that all of us would help someone who has had a fit.

Oh dear we've gone from splitting the bill, to hand feeding your dinner companions, to whether you'd introduce an overseas guest to your family, to assisting strippers with their tampon insertion, and then to getting so drunk you wake up in a police cell. Wherever can this thread go next?

Of course not. Very well done btw! :T It'd be great if there were more people like you around.

That's a totally different situation though IMO. One in which I would help out too if I could. That's through a medical condition and not with just getting totally pie-eyed. With the latter I'd probably lose respect for a friend if they let themselves get in such a mess that they couldn't toilet themselves.

Once again though :beer: to you. Being an epileptic myself (although no seizures for many years now, touch wood) I would have been glad to have you look after me.
