Why do people hold you responsible for bad behavior when you're drunk & not aware of what's going on?!


Question: I know it's pretty dangerous & harmful, but why don't they give you a break for something minor like yelling? I can see something major like a car accident & drunk driving.

Sometimes you do need to know your behavior when you are drunk as you will know how you are probably going to act again. I do not see holding it against you though if no one was hurt and it was not serious. Sometimes, people will use it against you as an excuse to be mad at you and take their own frustrations out on you and blame you for things that really have nothing to do with you. I think if you drink with people who are so "great and mighty" that they cannot excuse simple drunken behavior that is harmless, then I say you need to find friends who you can drink and have fun with . It sounds like your group is quite judgemental...like they have never made a mistake or had their own drunken moments...sheesh....
If someone chooses to drink, knowing it results in bad behavior, then she is responsible for both the choice and the behavior. Being drunk doesn't "change" you. It just lowers your inhibitions so that your true self emerges. And btw, yelling isn't harmless. Report It

    • because you are responsible for your own actions at all times.

    and drunk people can be SO annoying sometimes.
    as long as you just yell and don't kick im in the nuts i don't see any harm in it.
    Because you need to know your limit; if your drunk and yelling about something that means your angry and that can escalate to Physical Violence every easily. And many times unfortunately, people end up hurt and sometimes dead.
    Because you chose to get drunk in the first place. Your decision + your behavior = your responsibility.
    Because at the end of the day you are responsible for your own actions drunk or sober.
    Because you are responsible for yourself. No one stuffed the alcohol down your throat, you did it to yourself. Who else would be held responsible??
    you are responsible for you actions drunk or not drunk - if you are drunk you should be dealt with harder as you put yourself in a position of weakness and be thrown the book
    In vino veritas.
    Often an inebriated person is largely not responsible for his/her behavior - no more than is a person under the influence of controlled substances. HOWEVER, whether one is acting badly or is the life of the party, others zero in on simple (but inaccurate) causes for behavior.

    In point of fact, drugs remove one's inhibitions, often resulting in socially-unacceptable behavior, such as screaming at your loved ones or laughing in church.

    In the worst-case scenario, the inebriated person kills somebody in a car accident or does away with the spouse and all the in-laws.
    well if they give u one break it then becomes two and three.u r responsale for ur actions drunk is no excuse u shldnt drink if cannot handle it
    i am a criminal justice major and the law states that theres no such thing as mistake....unless you were given something like a roofie you are responsible no matter what
    Because you made a choice to drink. With wach choice we make we MUST accept the consequences that come with that choice.
