@iamthemob Yes there is a broad spectrum, but it’s often difficult to draw the line in saying when it’s ok and when it’s not. Someone who knows how alcohol affects them has no excuse, period – if they don’t want to be held responsible for things they do under intoxication, they should stay away from alcohol, end of story. A one time accident for a first time drinker is slightly more excusable in that they may not know how alcohol affects them, but i’m not letting anyone off that easy. Everyone knows that alcohol can make you drunk, and those who choose to take it to that level where they actually become drunk are still responsible for that and the resultant actions they take that affect other people.
That being said, there are small things that can be forgivable, but things like cheating and other similar things are not forgivable no matter what. Drunkenness makes me angry because of how irresponsible people can get, and it’s all well and good to say that there are so many degrees of drunkness and so many degrees of “wrongs” to be done during intoxication, however what stops someone from crossing that fine line from doing something under intoxication that is forgivable, to doing something that ruins someone’s life forever? It’s too easy to cross this line and not even be aware of it.
So i still stand by my opinions.
