It was my 2nd christmas do in my job. The first had been a disaster, I'd been sat at the table with the rest of the staff, realised there was no-one there I actually liked that much, nor wanted to spend the rest of the night out with. I feigned illness, and went home. From what I've heard, I missed a superb night, but all the lads I was supposed to be out with were coked off their faces, and that just wasn't who I wanted to be with.

So, the year after that it became a meal, rather than a raucous night out. We went for a lovely meal at the Brasserie in Wilmslow. I had something boring for starter (can't remember it), and a slow roasted shin of beef, served with celeriac and other bits for main, fucking delicious.

The day of the meal, 2 of my friends had been made redundant, and I had to sit with the MD, watching him laugh at how good a year it had been, so I wasn't in the best of moods. I resolved this by deciding to drink a few pints with dinner, but not so many that I would lose control.

After the meal had been tidied away, a band came out, and started playing some music, thoroughly enjoyable. I sat with my pint in my hand, enjoying the music, the company, the fantastic food, the meal, how warm the room was....before suddenly realising my eyes were closed, and I had my chin on my chest.

SHIT, I'd been asleep. Not for long, as I recognised they were still on the same track, so a minute or less. I opened my eyes, hoping desperately no-one had noticed. The staff sat on the same row as me hadn't noticed a jot. As I turned back to the table, I saw the other 5 we were out with grinning at me. Ohhhh, fuck.

That was 2 years ago, and they've still not let me forget the night I "drank 3* pints and fell asleep"

It was at least 5, I'm certain of that. Still not great, but not quite as embarrassing

TL;DR - I got pissed and fell asleep at the christmas meal.

Ooops
One of my mates must be narcoleptic or something when he has had a drink. I've seen him fall asleep on a girl's shoulder in the middle of chatting her up!

It was a very irritating stage of my life
This would happen every time I went out. It didn't matter what I had eaten in advance, what I drank, etc. I'd just sleep. Never for more than a minute at a time, but very irritating.

Used to get mocked, until one night we went to the loudest pub in town, I fell asleep on the couch, upon waking, I went to the bar, bought a double vodka red bull (downed it), 3 sambucas (downed them), and a pint, before coming back to sit down, and carrying on the rest of the night. Was entertaining to see the shocked looks on their faces!
