Alcoholic friend peed herself at my baby shower

[CurlyQ284]

Didn't want to thread jack the "is this mic on" thread.

I was friends with B growing up. We lived together in college, I found out she's an alcoholic and she does a bunch of crazy things. I can post those stories if anyone is interested.

We drifted apart, I move back to the area and kind of avoid her but I freaking run into her at a store and she wants to get together. I can't say no so we meet for lunch and she seems normal, says she quit drinking. I invite her to my baby shower.

She shows up, keeps saying over and over that she has no friends and no one will hang out with her. My BFF gets out some vodka and does a shot with 2 other friends. No one sees B drink but suddenly she is being a REALLY close talker. She puts her hands on my belly and cries because "she is so happy for me". She takes nephew from SIL and nuzzles and kisses him to the point that coworker asks why she is eating the baby's face. The cries of "I have no friends" increase in frequency so BFF feels bad and asks her to hang out after the shower. They leave, other friend notices the bottle they were pouring for shots is now empty, it was 75% full and only 3 people did shots. No one saw B drink it but that is typical.

They go to BFFs house, BFF is on the computer and she hears the shower turn on. She keeps the litter box in there so she goes in to get it out. B is wasted, BFF is holding her naked ass up in the shower. BFFs roommate says they were outside having a cigarette and she just started peeing. It went all down her legs, all over her dress and in her shoes so roommate sent her to the shower.

BFF puts her on the couch, she keeps falling off. She finally decides to take B home. B is house/pet sitting for these people who live in the neighborhood where we grew up and where she lives with her parents now. She has pet sat for 10 years but can't remember where the house is. BFF spends an hour driving her around looking for this house before she finds it. BFF couldn't figure out wtf was wrong with her because no one saw her drink the vodka.

B keeps messaging me to "get together" and I've been avoiding her.

Sounds like a safe plan.

Yikes.

Had something similar happen, its really sad and I was pretty dumbfounded. alcoholics can be crazy sneaky.

Your bff is a sweetheart though.

[CurlyQ284]

Oh she likes to pretend she doesn't remember the next day...or maybe she really doesn't I just never believed her. She keeps asking me for BFFs phone number so they can hang out again. I keep promising to text it to her and keep "forgetting". There is no way BFF wants to repeat that!

When my friends and I threw a baby shower for a friend we may or may not have spiked our lemonaid with vodka.

Friend wanted a dry shower, which is fine, but all of us have mild social anxiety so there was no way in hell we were running games and shit without booze lol

And yeah, keeping your distance from that one sounds like a solid plan

While I typically think this face is overdone, that is exactly what I just did reading this.

My SIL made blue Jell-O shots for my baby shower...nobody peed themselves though (ok, maybe I did a little once when I sneezed, but I swear, I wasn't drunk!).

Eh, I've played drinking games at baby showers, they were co-ed. 

Hmmm.

I'm not pearl clutching at the drinking at the shower, I'm just trying to imagine how shots happen.

I don't know exactly, my friend groups have intermingled enough to where it isn't awkward and it got louder and louder with everyone socializing. BFF called across the room "hey! Can we do shots?" I told her sure.

There was already sangria being served, it just went to the next level. We didn't play games, it was more just an excuse to have a party.

I laughed but then realized that the story is actually really sad.

I threw one last year that had a Keg :-)

[CheshireGrin]

That's awful.

[lovesoon]

Your bff sounds cool to try to take care of her. Wow...that's messed up though. Sounds like she was already a little drunk.Sorry that happened.

[luckyval]

That is completely cringe worthy

But I did have alcohol at one of my showers

[walterismydog]

I have a friend like this and she did all kinds of similar things at equally inappropriate times. She's in rehab now. I hope your friend gets help.

[CurlyQ284]

I have to share some of the older stories because those are good too. I was driving B, S and S'S boyfriend home from a party all in the back seat. K was in the front seat pissed because B hit on her crush all night at the party. We stop at a red light, B leans over and tries to make out with Ss boyfriend....right in front of her.

Another time she snuck my vodka, picked a fight with her boyfriend, slapped him and stormed home. She collapsed in the street on the way there, boyfriend carried her the rest of the way.

Went out with another friend of ours, picked a fight with a group of guys at the DC metro and slapped a bunch of them.

Was supposed to bring her boyfriend to my wedding, ditches him and brings random from a bar. They spend she whole time trying to convince my bridal party to leave and go to this "swweeeet party" across town.

[VeryViolet]

I was going to post a whole bunch of nonsense about a friend I have who isn't an alcoholic but still likes to get wasted and make scenes particularly at big events for friends. I realized it would be too long and total thread jacking though lol. People doing stupid shit are too taxing for me so credit is due to your BFF after dealing with that. I do feel bad for this girl as it seems like she is really a big mess.

I do think it is awesome that your friends were doing shots at your baby shower. It sounds like a baby shower that I would actually want to attend and where I wouldn't plan my exit strategy before arriving.

[angelaa73]

I WANT TO GO TO YOUR NEXT BABY SHOWER. my friends are so fucking boring

We have all tried to help her get help. She therapist shops and sticks with the ones that buy her BS rather than the ones that actually help. She is so broke, doesn't seem to be able to keep a job, doesn't have a car etc so she can't afford to do much if she even care admit the problem. We have all distanced ourselves because she can't/won't get help and no one can take it anymore.

[CurlyQ284]

Yay, you guys are all invited!

Oh ffs people, have you met me? Rare is an occasion that I don't think calls for alcohol. It's the shots, that's all. To each their own. Alcohol at showers is always good.

I'm feeling you. There is something bizarre about vodka shots at a baby shower.

[berbles]

I helped throw a baby shower at a pre-game tailgate. And my friend made cupcakes with booze in them.

Curly, I hope your friend gets help sooner than later.

[julez]

I truly hope that your BFF didn't drop this woman and leave her alone when she was this drunk.

This is really sad.

[Deleted]

We had alcohol and people did shots at my baby shower. It was co-ed. No one downed an entire bottle and wet their pants though. I'm so sorry. She clearly needs some help.
