A few drinks can boost your confidence and make you the life of the party, but once you cross the line, you become “the drunk” that most people are trying to avoid. Which drunk are you? Have you been more than one of these drunks?
Check out more about these drunks just in case you may be that person…
1. The Wedding Drunk
In hopes of getting lucky at the wedding, this person starts the night off with a quick shot followed by a glass of wine. Early on, he’s drinking beer while mingling with other guests. Disappointed and “unlucky” he keeps drinking with no end in sight. Before you know it, he’s the sloppy guy everyone’s talking about at the reception.
2. The Baby-Shower Drunk
Whoever started the trend of drinking at baby showers is a saint and cares as little as we do about guessing the measurement of our friend’s belly. This is the girl who brings her own liquor to the shower “just in case.” Or makes one too many trips to the spiked punch bowl. It may be difficult to fake enthusiasm, but it’s even more difficult to when you’re a tad bit wasted.
3. The “Do You Ever Stay Home?” Party-Girl Drunk
This girl is always down for a good time. She always wants to know where the after-party is. At dinner when everyone orders wine, she orders tequila. She is very active on social media, tweeting things like, “What happened last night?! Alan, you are crazy! See you tonight!”
4. The Drunk Couple
This couple is really funny! At the beginning of the night, these two people seem to be each others biggest fans. They take shots together, constantly pose with each other in pictures, and tag each other on social media sites #SoInLove. Then, the switch flips and the name calling begins. Accusations of infidelity and wandering eyes start up and by the end of the night they hate each other or both go home single. The next time you see them, they’ve made up and are back together, more in love than ever.
5. The Family Drunk
Everyone has a drunk uncle. This guy is really opinionated about really useless things. He also demands that you put your face extremely close to his when he tells you something. He is always the first to make a toast at any family event, and everyone immediately tenses and give forced, supportive smiles. The toast starts out nicely, and then takes a hard left turn to a place that offends everyone in the room in some way. If you don’t know who the drunk in your family is, then its probably you.
6. The Subtle Drunk
This person is a pro. In a few years he will come to terms with the fact that he is a full blown alcoholic. It’s alarming to interact with this person. Nothing prepares you for the things that are going to happen. He’ll tell you he’s going to grab another beer, and the next thing your telling the ER doctor, “I didn’t even realize he was drunk.”
7. The “I’m Not Drunk” Drunk
She starts drinking early while she’s getting ready. When she sees her friends at the party, she says, “lets do shots!” She’s quick to snap at her friends when they start to mumble she’s had too much to drink, “I’m not drunk!” She believes that everyone around her knows what she knows: that she is clearly not drunk. She doesn’t appreciate everyone trying to embarrass her like this. She says, “Everyone needs to chill.”
