Not the vehicular kind. People tend to speak freer when they have a little bit of nerve in them which they can get from imbibing alcohol. It's easier to forgive since most times they were not well thought out actions and were rash and hasty.
-
Like any other kind of mistakes there factors at hand to consider. Some you can pass by, some you can't. The more severe alcohol-related mistakes result in thousand of tragedies each year. It would be very, very hard for me to forgive those if they involved me or people I love.
-
Depends on what kind of mistake it is. - If it's a social flub, it's more easily forgivable. - If it's a more criminal "mistake" (rape, DUI), then it is not easily forgivable.
-
Drunken mistakes are double mistakes . The first is getting drunk in the first place so I cannot forgive an action taken whist drunk that causes harm to others. Either physical or emotional.
-
Not if it puts others in danger.

Recently got slapped by a mate's g/friend cuz I was apparently perfoming a stripshow in front of him - nothing happened, didnt take my clothes off (THANK GOD!!)just teasing and having fun. I was so drunk that I could not remember doing that. This happened last weekend, I inmediately apologized to both of them by email, although I explained to them I wanted to do it in person. He accepted the apology - his g/friend didn't - and said that he didnt think his girl did it because she was jealous, she was standing up her grounds and protecting what was hers (??!!) and that he loves her even more for showing how much she loves him, he added in his email that I was lowering and disrepecting myself (AS I DIDNT FEEL BAD ENOUGH AND WAS AWARE OF THAT ALREADY)... he wasnt judging though, he said - he doesnt do that. HUH? I'm still trying to forget the whole thing, laugh it off, but I can tell you this type of drunken mistakes are not easily forgetable when people are judging you every second they can... human nature I guess, people tend to remain you of your mistakes but forget about the good things you've done in the past.

I work in a restaurant where people get drunk all the time. I don't think there is a reasonable excuse.
-
No, double error..first mistake your where drunk, second you made another one when you where drunk
-
Nah, that's one reason I stopped drinking.
-
I believe a true person comes out when they are drinking i find it worse
-
When the apology is sincere they are.

Drunken mistakes can be as hard as any other mistakes to forgive. But I'd take into account the person's inebriated state at the time and cut them some slack in my mind. It would make a difference if they were 'mistakes' of being obnoxious and nasty or being silly and uninhibited. Nasty is nasty - drunk or sober. And if happened on a regular basis, making excuses for someone because they were drunk, would get really old for me quickly.

no - i think they're exactly the same. Worse even when people blame it on alcohol. It's not an excuse to hide behind!
