Love, Embarrassing and Alcohol: Oh no…

Oh no…

By probably_the_ex_now - 18/08/2009 08:04 - United States

Today, my boyfriend introduced me to his family. They were drinking and having fun, so I joined in. I had one too many, got really goofy, and then suggested the farting game. "Sorry, I can't hold my liquor!" I quickly explained. My boyfriend's mom shot me a cold look and said, "It's non-alcoholic." FML

Today, I was out to dinner with my boyfriend and his parents. It was my first time meeting them, so I was a bit nervous. As we were talking, I accidentally let out a loud burp. His parents looked at me in shock, and my boyfriend just laughed and said, "Well, she's certainly comfortable around you two." FML

Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. His father was completely wasted, his mom was high, and his 11-year-old sister was talking about her favorite alcoholic drinks at the dinner table. FML

Today, I threw a birthday party for my boyfriend. As a joke, my friend and I served him non-alcoholic beer to see how he'd react. After a while, he faked being drunk, using it as an excuse after I caught him making out with one of my so-called "friends". FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were visiting his parents. I'm nervous around them so he encouraged me to drink so I'd loosen up. I got so drunk I tore up all the things in his old room I thought were from ex-girlfriends and accidentally flashed his dad my crotch. FML

Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. I'm already a clumsy person but became extra clumsy because I was nervous. After knocking over my drink for the fourth time, my boyfriend's mom angrily shouted "Did you actually come drunk for the first time meeting us?" FML

Today, at dinner with my boyfriend and my family, my mother had too much to drink and asked my boyfriend how I was in bed with the purpose of embarrassing me. His reply? "Not as good as her sister." His defense? "It was only one time." FML

Today, I met my girlfriend's mom. She went on about how my girlfriend's dad is a no good drunk, following this statement with spilling her fifth glass of wine. FML

Fun

Today, my boyfriend came to a family barbecue. I guess my dad heard him talking about the "fun" we'd be having later, because over the next two hours, he tripped my boyfriend up on concrete, threw a beer can at him, and sprayed him full-force with a water hose. All "accidentally" of course. FML

Today, I was introducing my boyfriend to my parents for the first time. I meant to say, "Mom, Dad, this is Tom." Instead, I said, "Mom, Dad, this is Mom." My boyfriend is now jokingly reconsidering our relationship, and my parents won't stop making fun of me. FML

YDI for being an idiot even whilst not intoxicated.

this further proves my theory that usually being "drunk" is all in your head.

ydi for one.. allowing yourself to have "one too many" especially when you should be trying to impess your bf's family since it was your first time meeting them.. i mean first impressions are crucial and not knowing when to quit and letting yourself go overboard would not exactly put you as the best girl for their son to be dating.. and two because you werent smart enough to realise that there was no alcohal.. and three to get "drunk" on nothing..

placebo affect lOl so this is deff not a ydi. your mind can do some wild things like make you feel drunk when your not, quit smoking when there was a dependence for decades, make pain go away, cause you to believe your sick when you arent (as in hypochondracs, its a real mental problem no matter what hollywood says) but im sure you get what im sayingg so dont feel bad about that. and for real mind tricks i give you an fyl. but alcohol has a very distinctive taste no matter if its a small percentage so for that i give you a ydi

if it was a drink that the OP had never tried before, she wouldn't be able to tell the difference between alcoholic and non-alcoholic. i will join the few intelligent people on here in mentioning that if a person is under the impression that they've had too much alcohol, they will often feel like they've had too much alcohol (minus the hangover in the morning). they will definitely act drunk without trying to. that is the case in this situation, therefore it's not a YDI

You are a fu*king moron. At MOST, she would have too much sugar and slipped into a diabetic coma. If you can't tell if a drink has alcohol, then you have never had alcohol. You will probably turn into a **** or whoremonger the first time you have a daiquiri.

At that point, you should have made it seem like you were kidding about having alcohol in there. It would still be embarrassing, but at least you wouldn't look pathetic...
