writes:Hey,Is being drunk an excuse? Is using it as an excuse a cop out or proof that someone else has less feelings for you. If you were in a situation that merited action or confronting someone about it and they used it as an excuse what would you do? eg. I went out to a club and I can't really remember what happened. I was drunk. I do believe my other half may have some misconceptions about alcohol consumption. I know when I get drunk I still have control over myself, I may have difficulty walking, and I may think about other girls but I defend the relationship I am in. If I feel uncomfortable about something I can leave. However I have approached my other hafe about this issue and she seemed ok with the idea that "I was drunk" is a good explanation to do things. I told her my feelings about this and how it made feel scared of what she was doing. I know this is the first time i've talked to her about this and I feel I kind of lucked out in the essence that she began drunk texting me to tip me off that she was out at a club. She assured me that nothing bad happen but I am kind surprised that she used "I was drunk" as an excuse. Would you let this fly from your SO? Should I be on the lookout? If this behaviour persists is that grounds to end a relationship? Im not a really big worrying person, I trust her but when she says "When Im drunk every idea just seems like a good idea" I feel thats a red flag. I told her how it makes me feel and she did have remorse for her course of actions. However I did let her get away with using the "I was drunk"... Am I bending where I should be on her about this. She said she understood where I was coming from but what do you think?

Heya,
A test was carried out on 100 people earlier this year. They were all given a decent amount of alcohol and told to do a basic thing on the internet. 30% of the people done it right.
After that they were told that if they got it right they would get a prize, The second time around 96% of the people got it right.
Conclusion - "I was Drunk" is not an excuse
