I guess the best thing about getting DBesque around sober folk is that no matter how much you forget someone will always be on the phone first thing in the morning telling you exactly what you did. Or so one would hope... Which brings me to my predicament. A little background info:
Evening started off rather well. We all head off to this new dinner/cabaret place to see a show. Thinking that the first round might be long in coming, I took it upon myself to front load just a tad and was then pleasantly surprised to find out that not only was our table right next to the bar, but the beers were also really cheap. [skip a few more beers, an acceptable meal etc]
By now things begin to get fuzzy edged and not entirely sequential. I recall the singer wondering around with the microphone (why the hell do they do that?) and possibly making me 'sing' (which clearly demonstrated to the audience why I was not on the stage) I also remember a few more rounds of beer and the look on the wimmins faces turning from mild amusement to blatant disbelief.
Funny, I woke this morning not feeling too bad and proceeded with the day as usual. The first phone call was from my brother 'You don't remember, do you?' 'Remember what?' and the bastard won't tell me. Fair enough, he too was wasted and probably has missing time but still...
Second call was from one of the wimmin folk. Same story but she is too embarrassed to tell me what I did - must have been really good. Same went for the second female to call me.
Now I could really use some input here: Is it hypocritical to apologize for something you don't remember doing? (assuming of course firstly that someone actually tells you what you did and secondly that an apology is required)
The only solution I can see here is to recreate the scene (i.e. drink heavily) and then repeat the action and try to remember it in the morning. This could of course lead to further problems requiring the same solution. Works for me.
