True, we did drink But within the circle of 6 friends, we only shared 3 bottles of beers. I don't think it was overboard. In fact we left the bar at 1030pm. What I don't like is the double standard he imposes on me. He is having a drinking session this coming Thursday with his colleagues. (I know who they are but don't know them personally.) How should I voice this out tactfully? (He has a rather quick temper) Reply to this Question Share |

A piss pot and a quick temper... Was he concerned for your welfare, the dear pet? How about you tell him to shut his cake hole (mouth) and shove his double standard social drinking BS down the toilet!
You don’t use tact for his type of imposing behaviour. State your grievance and don’t pussy foot around with him or he’ll control you to the end of your days.
If his temper flares to the point of violence, you’ve got yourself a losing situation. Don't even bother to right the wrong of his double standards.

There should be no difference in you going out with friend and him going out with friend (or co-workers). Having 1/2 or a whole beer is not a crime.
I find it rather controlling that he thinks it's OK to be MAD at you for having friends, and for going out with them.
What exactly is it that he got mad about? The drinking? Or the going out?
