I have these 2 really close friends. And they've been dating for almost 2 years now. i've been to enough parties with them. I noticed that at every party, if she gets drunk, he gets really mad. The thing is, it's not like she has a drinking problem or anything. She's not a psycho drunk either, but she lets loose a lot more and she's a bit louder and slightly crazier. But who isn't? I thought my guyfriend was just being dumb and stubborn about trying to keep his gf on a leash like that. But then, my boyfriend got really mad when I got drunk too. And I normally don't do anything too out of control when i'm drunk either. I'm just a bit more clumsy and I'm more hyper and outgoing....

So my question to the guys out there is, why do you guys not want your girlfriends to get drunk? it's not like you guys don't ever get drunk too..

I don't like when my boyfriend gets drunk either. It was only once, and he never did it again because he felt horrible. I've never been drunk, and I probably never will.

For me, the reason people don't like their boyfriend/girlfriend getting drunk is because it can be unhealthy. I don't wanna find out from his friends that my boyfriend is in the hospital from alcohol poisoning or some crap like that. Nobody wants thier S.O. to be in that position. Also, people might dislike it because of how it looks. Like you said, you were louder and more hyper than usual. What if it went further than that and you did something you could possibly regret?

Personally, I think guys that get mad over their girlfriends getting drunk are small minded, control freaks, and just plain idiots. Just because you two are together doesn't mean he has any right to get mad at you JUST because you want to have fun and get drunk. Are you cheating on him? No. Are you dancing around going crazy? No. Are you taking off your clothes? No. I only would think it was a problem if they were drinking A LOT and getting totally wild but if you're just drinking moderately and keeping your cool then I don't see ANY reason why a significant other should get upset. You're young. Have fun while you can and don't let anyone hold you down.

Well maybe it's not a control thing, maybe it's worry. Everyone knows girls are way more vulnerable when drunk. It's something to worry about because it's not healthy, they could get hurt, get taken advantage of, get alcohol poisoning, do something stupid they might regret... I know someone just recently who almost got hit by a car because they wandered out in the middle of the street at night, right in front of a car, while drunk.

^ exactly. a lot of bad things occur when people are drunk.

[bonjour tristesse.]

When girls get drunk, they tend to be much more crazier, do things that they would never do in their every day life as to when guys get drunk, they have more self control (or so most of them do, typically). I also agree that girls get vulnerable when they're drunk. It's not so much that the guy is being controlling, it's just disappointment and worryness.

[SYNsaish]

I think it's because of a worry type issue. I think they just don't want their girlfriend to get hurt or do something stupid.

[Mannosuke]

Some people are just insecure. This applies to both guys and girls. There are girls that go crazy when they hear that their man's going out to drink.

[heheimawesome]

its only a problem if they can't control themselves and go flirt with other guys.
also, it makes the girl look bad and they become more vulnerable. easy for guys to make a move and she won't even notice, she might even welcome it. the boyfriend doesn't want to see her so "open" for other guys to come i guess you could say.

but if shes drinking but still by her boyfriends side then its completely fine.

[SailorBoy62]

When a guy gets drunk, sure, it's not that big of a deal. When a girl gets drunk, it's just not classy. If your girlfriend is as drunk or more drunk than you are, most guys I know are a bit like O_O if they're not in like their horned up mode. It's a double standard, but that's kind of reality.

[joxxy]

I agree that the anger is due to worry.
If I were a guy, I wouldn't want my girlfriend drinking because alcohol causes people to become less in control of themselves and vulnerable to danger.
And a lot of people blame their wrongs on alcohol (i.e. "how could you kiss him?!" "I was drunk!") even though it's not a valid excuse.

[bona fide*]

You're less inhibited when you're drunk so it's difficult to predict and control your actions. It's likely that your significant other is just concerned about your well being, fearing that you may either be hurt by someone, hurt yourself, or hurt someone else.

[hishari]

I only get piss drunk when my boyfriend is there, but we both have a rule that we have to control ourselves and not flirt with the opposite gender.

Though I admit I hate it when my boyfriend is drinking with his friends with me not present because this means that there's a huge guy mess for me to clean up the next day

[MangoStar]

It's not a control thing. I would worry if my boyfriend got stupid drunk, because everyone knows it could lead
to horrendous things. I don't drink just from seeing friends screw up relationships, their lives and other's lives.

[azn099]

things happen when you get drunk and most of them are bad. some girls can't control themselves either.

[AzNsk8er4Lyfe]

because if girls get really drunk, there's a high chance some guy will take advantage of her..no guy wants that to happen to their girlfriend.

[TDKSJ]

For me, getting drunk is not good T T you don't know what you can possibly do, seeing your state of mind. If you were a girl and YOU were drunk, it wouldn't look good. I have friends who drink and whe =n they become drunk, they're completely different people.

[[K]Jae]

Being drunk whether is it the boyfriend or girlfriend is never a good thing.
It can lead from one thing to another, which either party may regret doing.
Being drunk = bad things will happen

[OMGitzYOU]

I agree about being more vulnerable. Plus, the "I don't know, I didn't mean it! I was drunk" excuse would be in use.

[peppermintsugar]

Well, there are plenty of reasons. Maybe he finds the way she acts when under the influence to be TOO loud, maybe she gets obnoxious, too outgoing, when she's drunk. I don't think I'm embarrassing when I'm drunk, but I do talk a lot more, which usually isn't how I act, and I don't like that.

The more obvious reason is that peoples inhibitions are lowered when they're under the influence of alcohol, and him being her boyfriend, that would obviously bother him.
