Bah, I'm just having a difficult time with someone who binges. This can be true for anyone, but drunken conversations really scare and bother me, it's like they open up and can say ANYTHING. These confessions, truths and accusations leave a really bad taste in my mouth, I get anxious, I think about it a lot and it just really puts a damper on my mood.

How do you deal with the things friends and family have said when drunk? You can always say that "they didn't mean it, they weren't themselves." But how can you just throw that excuse over it all the time? When something really hurtful or nasty comes to the surface you can't help but think, "Jeez, they really meant that but just didn't have the guts to say it sober..."
