Naturally we won and thrashed Cardiff. After we got home 2 of my friends decided they didn't wanna go out after all, so they gave me both their tickets and i just went.Originally i planned to go for one drink in a bar and then finish off in a club. However bars were opened for longer than usual so i just stayed there and got really hammered. I must've spent about £30 on drinks. £7 on two drinks in Revs, and the rest were Firebombs and Jaegerbombs. I got thrown out of Revs for virtually passing out in the sink and then hit the club. I was in there for maybe 10 minutes before i just gave in and decided to go home. I don't remember much about the cab ride home. I got into my flat and just passed out on someone's door.I was dragged into the kitchen and proceeded to throw up all over myself on the kitchen floor. My tongue had to be removed from my mouth to prevent me from choking. An ambulance arrived and i was taken to A and E. The paramedics pricked my finger to check blood glucose, put a weird thing on my thumb to take my stats and also had these weird pad things o both my arms and legs.I think they were glued on with jelly or something i'm not sure what they were. Anyway my shirt was ripped and i was given blankets. I got a cab ride home at 6:45 which cost me £20.I woke up in the afternoon. When i got back after my lecture my flatmate posted a pic of me on facebook and i asked him about it and they started abusing me saying i was an ungrateful piece of ****. I just barely got into the flat and tbf i hadn't thought of apologising to them. After the abuse i went into my room for 5 mins and then got them all into the kitchen and than apologised and thanked them for it.Everything was cool after that and it was as if nothing ever happened.I'm still in shock after last night and the abuse i received from them. I also feel like **** and haven't eaten all day as my gullet and stomach and mouth just feel like they're on fire. Anyway i'm just a little scared and anxious right now.What should i do now? I'm a little nervous around my flatmates after them seeing me in that state as they now give me dodgy looks.Also do they hate me or view me as a disgrace? When i got up they stuck the pic on my door and one of em called me a ****ing disgrace.

Perhaps you didn't remember what had happened at the time, but to talk to them about a facebook post after the fact probably seemed disgraceful to them considering they had just saved your life.
You're lucky to be alive and to have such good friends. They care about you, otherwise they wouldn't be angry. You'll just have to do the walk of shame for a while and demonstrate you can take better care of yourself until they aren't so worried about you.

Whats that all about anyway? If you are going to drink tonnes of weird chemical mixes until you drop unconscious into your own vomit, people WILL think you are daft! You probably scared your flat mates. And cleaning up after you couldnt have been much fun for them. Its best to ride out the abuse because they will forget about it eventually. Maybe take them aside individually and apologise again, like you really mean it and im sure you will be forgiven. I think you gave them all a real scare and confronting them about the picture before even thanking them for helping you out, made them angry. Apologise again and be thankful they were there to help you out x

 What you did, while a bit on the extreme side, is hardly unprecedented. Lots of young guys make that sort of an error in judgment. Fortunately you lived to tell about it.
Your flatmates will abuse you with this for as long as you know them -- that's their payback for having to clean up after you. Take the razzing in good humour, and this too shall pass.
