Would You Hold It Against Your Friend If They Were Sick Infront Of People In The Pub?

One of my friends was sick other day all over the carpet obviously we put her in a taxi but we were all asked to leave after she left there was loads of us and table was booked. I don't know if we be able to book a table there again. I think my friend may have mixed her cocktails. What would you do if that was your friend?

It's a frequent occurrence then?  Crikey!   Not much fun in spending a fortune to be ill.

Abbey, as pointed out earlier, you must have mixed your cocktails and said never again.  Did you also feel sick?

[abbeylee90]

Hazinly next day yes

I bet you spent a fairly big chunk of your weekly pay Abbey.

The trouble with some cocktails is that many of them contain 3...4...5 different alcoholic components. You're mixing from the start. Have several different drinks and someone who may not drink very often will quickly go downhill. If the whole group is knocking them back, they may not even notice their friend is in trouble.

Was any food consumed, or just alcohol? You should all have had something  solid to soak up the drinks.

I am teetotal 

, so when out with friends who are drinking alcohol, I just have a non-alcoholic , and no one is bothered, or even notices.

Abbeylee - you said 'Normally the one who is sick gets chucked out' as if it were a regular occurrence!

Your friend drank too much (once) so you give support and you help - but it should never happen again!  Repeat, 'It should never happen again'.  This is teenage stuff.

Unless someone's drink has been spiked - or there is an underlying illness that comes to the fore - you are all far too old to be behaving like this and I'm not surprised you were all chucked out.  You are obviously seen as 'trouble' by  owners and bar staff. This is not good; in fact it's awful behaviour.

When sober, try to get your friends together and agree on some standards of behaviour, please. If they can't, then think about going out in smaller groups and gatherings.

Jourdaine...unfortunately a lot of young women still get very messy drunk in their 20s and beyond. 

Years ago when I was first divorced, I had a flat that was located in a bar/club area. It was like watching a circus side show. And now, when I go out with my daughter and her partner when they visit, I can tell its not much different. The girls/young women are looking more sophisticated than 20+years ago...but it's still party time. I'd swear some are worse than the lads.

Maybe the drunken friend was trying to keep up to the same level of drink as her friends, due to peer pressure. That would be stupid.

She could say, "that's it; no more alcohol for me. I'll have a "St. Clements" (orange juice and bitter lemon)

Her friends should now realise she cannot handle alcohol and support her.
