Very drunk on a work night out

bread

Cringe!

Today is my first day back after being possibly the drunkest person at our work summer event on Friday. Thankfully there were 200 people there and maybe I was not exposed to toon many of them. I have had the fear all weekend because i genuinely cannot remember the end of the night.

This was the drunkest i have ever been at any work event, i will never do it again. I am here at my desk hiding because i am so embarassed about what i cannot remember but i am guessing it was pretty bad. The girls I work with told me that i sat back down at the wrong table at one point.

How do i get through this day? How am i even going to go for lunch?

Eh how about getting off boards and doing your job?

just act like nothing happened and lie low...

How mortifying. You might as well quit your job now, OP, your working life in that company is over now.

Anyone that gets that drunk on our staff nights out generally finds themselves out of a job fairly soon afterwards....

You could start by sitting at the correct table dammit!

at least you didnt get drunk and tell your boss she "looks like a ride tonight" thankfully she took it as a compliment phew:pac:

I've never seen the point of work nights out.

Hope this helps.

Sit at the wrong table in the canteen, re-creating your nadir. It'll give everyone a good laugh and show you're a good sport who can laugh at yourself.

I have learned a lesson for sure! It must be that i really don't like my job and it was subconsious. God i don't know. I have never felt like this before.

Deny everything.

Two options...

1) Stand up and make a public apology, then it is all done and dusted.

2) Adopt this look

How do you get on with your CEO or line manager? Maybe you should face it head on and apologize. Make an excuse about being on medication and not realising the effect that it would have with alcohol. If you tell them how mortified you are and say that it was really out of character, they will no doubt reassure you that it wasn't that bad (even if it was, they might feel sorry for you) and tell you to forget about it.
Apologize only to management who have the power to make life difficult for you. As far as everyone else is concerned, say nothing.
Good luck with this. Do feed back later and tell us what happened..

Don't sweat it OP - half your colleagues are probably in the same boat. By lunch time it'll be all forgotten about.:)

A company I worked in (many years ago) had a night out and a couple decided to get it on in the ladies toilets - everyone knew - some even took pics under the door! Ugh

Anyway Monday morning they both had to go back into work and face everyone - I dont think they ever spoke to each other again they were so embarassed. (They weren't a couple at the time)

So at least you didnt do that! :eek:

Well, my manager just came in there and it seems she was in her words 'loaded'. I said to her it was the drunkest i have ever been at any work event ever, she said 'forget about it, bury it'. So that is all positive, it seems that some of the other managers were really drunk too. I am just a little paranoid now as everyone that comes in to the office seems to look over at me and smile wryly! Oh God!

RichT, i think i had a lucky escape in that respect and luckily did not kiss this particular guy.

Pretend you're an alcoholic op, the company might pay for your rehab

Works on two levels in that it also makes everyone think that you couldn't have been that drunk if you remember sitting at the wrong table thus making them question their own recollection of the nights events.

You could always start a nasty viral email rumor about some of your colleagues to take the focus off you...

Get drunk on lunch and come back plastered. People will just think its how you act and take no notice, or else you will get a P45 first thing Tuesday morning. Either way its all good.

I've been there brother, there must be someone there who you get along with well enough to be able to get them to fill in the blanks. Even if they weren't there they will no doubt hear the gossip and can fill you in. Who knows you may have done nothing out of the ordinary. Sitting around imagining disaster scenarios will just wreck your head. If you do need to apologise, do it. There are not many people who won't accept a sincere apology since nearly everyone has at least one night like this at some point. A bad slagging is more than likely all you are going to have to deal with. How long have you been in the job out of curiosity?

Do not do this. This will only draw more attention to it and as another poster said most of them have probably forgotten. Irish people are very good at turning a blind eye to drunk people.

Except for the P45 of course. Apart from that you're golden!

Wait until the next work night out. At that drink very moderately or not at all. Someone else is guaranteed to get locked at that and you will be forgotten about.

At least you didn't tease the bosses 17 year old daughter about the fact she snores at night when she's been drinking with him sitting 5 feet away...

(Not quite as bad as it sounds, I was only 19 myself, but still... I think your career may just survive the whole 'wrong table faux pas'.)

Tipsy McSwagger

As long as you didn't get rowdy then your grand.

EverEvolving

You have been taken over by the fear! Most people at work events look out for themselves and probably don't notice others.

Sitting at the wrong table though, what a faux pas, you may as well have got up on it, pulled down your pants and mooned the entire congregation.

It happens.
Many years ago at a work do, i had sex with my new bosses friend on the grass outside the barge pub - well it was down a bit, kinda semi secluded. I also almost fell into the canal on the way back (one leg got soaked and the other badly cut crossing the lock) Took me quite a while to live that one down!
Still have the scars, both physical and mental:D
Just go in and act like nothing happened - fúck it, it's not like you killed anybody!
You didn't kill anybody did you?:eek:

Hey OP, don't worry about it. One of the guys I work with is useless with drink on him, last Christmas at our party he pulled his kacks down ,boxers and all and began to thrust back and forth on the dance floor. His chopper was flopping all over the place.A few of us quickly escorted him off the dance floor, but no one took offence.

Last summer ,every time he was finished a pint he thew the glass away and it smashed all over the place, he didn't what the problem was as he was finished with it

If you haven't done any of that you'll be fine.

P.S I still work with this guy ,and everyone knows what to expect on a night out

Strip naked and run around the office, this will completely distract them from Friday night.
