Reddit Reminds Man It's Wrong To Go To Little Brother's Birthday Party While Drunk

The Reddit user said that since they all turned 18 and drinking is now legal for them, he and his friends have been getting drunk every morning. It's a "tradition" for them—although, it seems "weird." He shared he had forgotten that it was his 2-year-old brother's birthday party that day, and he had to attend.

Instead of skipping the party, he showed up to the party drunk and wasted. His mom was very upset and felt as though his actions were extremely offensive. In addition, he has an uncle who is a recovering alcoholic, so she was twice as angry he showed up that way in front of his uncle.

She told her son that he could not speak to the family until he gets his "life sorted out." However, the Reddit user does not feel like he was "that bad" or he did much wrong here.

Many commented that it is pretty clear for the majority of people that showing up to a family birthday drunk is just wrong. And, others chimed in that showing up anywhere drunk is embarrassing for the person who is drunk—no matter what the event is.

Other commenters pointed out that just because drinking is legal now, doesn't mean that it should be done every single day. The whole point is that when you get older, you are more responsible and should know better.

Some commenters were concerned that this behavior sounds like alcoholism and that they were worried about the Reddit user and his behavior.
