Try to get them some water to sober them up a bit and have them settle down. If at a bar or nightclub, get the bartender to keep and eye or call a cab for them and then excuse yourself. Try not to panic, they might sense it.
@perspicacious – that’s my kind of thinking. I can’t stand drunks of any kind. I don’t worry about being polite, they won’t remember it anyhow, just get away from them before they puke on you or worse!
Start talking about your nail polish. In great detail.
Start praying aloud like an evangelical television minister, for divine intercession for the poor guy.
Tell him he looks like WC Fields
Ask him to put his hands flat on the table, palms down. Place two glasses with liquid in them on the back of his hands. Tell him not to move, you’ll be right back. Then walk away.
Ok, it wasn’t my husband. We have a mutual friend staying with us for the weekend to help celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday. Our friend lives an hour away, so there was no taking him back home.
He was being nice, just rambling nonsense after my husband fell asleep. I wanted to stay up, but I didn’t want to converse with a drunk. They things they say! It’s like conversing with a two year old. ;)
