The Drunk Excuse

I love when people resort to what they consumed the night before as an excuse. Sometimes, I think that's why people drink alcohol in the first place, because it automatically gives them an excuse to be stupid.

It's even worse when people claim not to have remembered the prior evening's occurrences.

"Oh my gosh, I was like so wasted last night."

"Yeah you were. I can't believe you..."

"I did that? No way! I so don't remember!"

"You don't? Oh my gosh! You..." Then come the details of things the person is too embarrassed to admit.

Alcohol makes us numb, indifferent, and we lack the connection of cause and effect when we're intoxicated. Our conscience isn't quite where it should be when we're inebriated. I mean, I admit, I've done dumb things while I've been drinking, but I remember everything I did, won't deny what I did, and won't play the drunk excuse with anyone. It's a sad excuse. You did it. You remember. Don't deny it and say something along the lines of, "But, honey, I was so wasted!" Fess up, apologize, and hope that he or she will give you another chance.
