if your drunk, you do stupid things that you would NOT do sober - this is because the alchohol reduces our inhibitions. Only in the clear light of the sober day do we realise how stupid some of the actions, that while we drunk seemed perfectly acceptable, are. What other excuse do you have, you did because you were drunk.
this excuse I think holds toght for a multidude of social indiscretions and you will rightly be forgiven. More serious lapses of judgement - driving, cheating and so on are not and should not be tolerated, this is where handling alchohol in a RESPONSIBLE way comes in. Some people can't do this and should not be allowed to drink
