And of course, he’ll probably be hungover on my birthday tomorrow.
Jesus, that sucks.

I’m so sorry this is happening to you. Don’t let him use alcohol as an excuse for pushing your boundaries. If this is how he’s acting around your family at a holiday, how will he act when you’re alone? Somebody worthy of you would never do this. You deserve someone who can drink without disrespecting your body and your birthday.

In my life, I usually bounce them out of the bar and tell them not to come back.
For you, give him some ibuprofen (NOT acetaminophen) and lots of water and put him to bed. Serve him a breakfast of braise beef tongue and hope for the best.

I don’t think ibuprofen is safe to take with alcohol either.
Pretty sure the label warns against this here. But lots of water and sleep is a good idea.
Do I have to get shit faced to get braised beef tongue for breakfast or can I just ask nicely? I’m open to either.

Not safe, but a lot less unsafe than acetaminophen.
do I have to
Not at all! But tacos de lengua are basically the perfect hangover food.

Sounds like a pretty sticky situation, since if he’s really sloshed then a private conversation about boundaries may not be recieved well, or may be repeated embarrassingly later on. Coffee, and food might be the best help now, and just trying to keep him out of the sauce until things even out a bit. Best of luck, and happy holidays!

That’s pretty much what I figured, it sounds like he’ll probably have a lot of apologizing to do in the morning, and hopefully no repeat performances in the future lol

I dunno tell him your concerns
TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 hours ago
In the moment? Put him to bed. Tell him he’s too drunk and he’s causing problems, acting inappropriately and put him to bed. Tomorrow, explain what happened, if he’s not immediately remorseful hit him with the “Are you proud of your actions? Trying to touch my cock in front of my family?” be explicit. Explain that is unacceptable and if that’s how he’s going to act while drunk, he can’t drink that much around your family. Set these firm boundaries.
If he’s a decent man, he’s gonna feel really regretful. You can explain you still love him, you still wanna be with him, you understand people get drunk and make bad decisions and ask him if he wants help metering his drinking and try to work out some code phrases to remind him to pace himself while saving face. Revelling drunks hate to be told “Slow down” or “Haven’t you had enough?” Something like touching his shoulder and saying “Whew, these drinks are strong! I think I’m gonna get a buffer water, do you want one, honey?”
Also, get him a Gatorade before he goes to bed and one for when he wakes up, that should help the hangover in a big way. Any electrolytes will do. I like the Brode pills.

He might have felt pressure to keep up with your dad due to just meeting them / wanting to make a good impression, and not realized how drunk he was getting. Doesn’t excuse his actions in the least, but might help contextualize them… given it doesn’t sound like this is something he would normally do.

Oh honey it happens, it’s not a clear sign of any larger problem, sometimes people just get too drunk.
…if it becomes a pattern, that’s a different story. But he was probably a bit nervous meeting the family and overindulged. If he’s doing it out of boredom, make the boy cook!! Anyone can peel or chop vegetables. I got mine a lil apron and call him my sous chef (don’t tell him he’s the actually the garçon de cuisine)
