Would being drunk be an acceptable excuse or would it just add heat to the flames?

Question

My mother gets very anxious and paranoid right before a vacation, (something to do with leaving home)...

So last night I went out to drink with my friends because it was my last night in town before I was left for Cuba. My mom calls me LITERALLY 16 times in a row, and I genuinely didn't hear it ring.

By the time I check my phone and call her back shes screaming her head off, so much so her words were inaudible. I waited for her to finish and I asked her "Are you done being crazy yet?" and that just did it. She snapped and apparently no one has ever seen her that angry, so my question is.. Should I explain that I was under the influence when I said that or would explaining make it worse?

If someone said something to really push your buttons would it make you less angry to know that they were drunk? For the record, my parents know I drink, and I am of age, they just don't openly acknowledge it and they havn't had many encouterments with my non-sober self.

Answer 1

Being drunk doesn't relieve you of responsibility for anything you say or do. Using for an excuse is weak and cowardly.  

Answer 2

lol i'd feel better if i knew you were drunk

Answer 3

Just Leave Your Cell In Your House So You Dont Get Disturbed When Your Partying xD

ROCK ON!!

Answer 4

You should explain.It would make it worse.But is it not your fault you drank too much? I on the other hand think that drinking is stupid. So remember that the next time you want to go out and drink until you're insane.

Answer 5

there is always some truth in anything said in anger, but alcohol does let us open up more freely our feelings and you probably wouldn't have said that if you were sober so just tell your sorry how you said it and tell her you love her. hope things work out.

Answer 6

NO need for telling your mom you were inebriated, she really doesn't need to be so crazy on the phone.

Answer 7

I wouldn't say anything.  Let her cool down.  Then I would apologize for saying things the way you did, but let her know that you are an adult, and she needs to stop treating you like a baby.

Answer 8

Tell her that you are very sorry and you didn't mean it because you had some alcohol.  Try and calm her down and just say sorry.  

Answer 9

just tell her that you were out with your freinds and that you wanted a nice night with them before you left so you put your phone off to the side so that you didnt get botherd by anyone, and tell her your sorry you said that.. tell her that you had a few drinks or soething
