I invited an Ex-missionary couple who served in Hong kong to dinner to "hear their experiences." I opened a few bottles of wine. {partly my fault} Brother missionary starts slurring as I top up another glass. {Here try this Merlot} Being wickedly evil I enjoy nothing better than to get as many Witnesses drunk as I could. My rule is: if you don't say no, the booze will flow! After awhile he starts to get insulting telling me how I "let myself go" and "I haven't missed any meals lately ha ha!" etc. He then goes to take another drink but fumbles the bottle spilling the red on the table, carpet, and everywhere. "Don't worry about it, we'll get that out tommorow." {I'm very easy-going} I'm not mad, I ve never had such great entertainment! I have more stories but have you got any Witness drunk stories.

There is so little the witnesses are allowed to indulge in that I think alcohol, because it's not forbidden, is imbibed
to the extreme sometimes. There are a lot of over drinkers among JWs and even though they claim it's wrong to
get drunk, I think they interpret "drunk" as the point where you pass out....lol

I am an alcoholic, and was DF'ed for drunkenness. Obviously I would have quite a few stories that fit this criteria.
One for starters, I surreptitiously went to my car during the District Convention to take a snort from a flask. I look over a few cars, and there is an Ex Bethelite elder doing the exact same thing!

A bunch of us went to a concert one night and we all got trashed beyond belief. I drank 1/2 pitcher of Guinness along with whatever other drinks people were handing me. I hated the band, but I had beer headphones so they sounded really good. After getting another drink at the bar I turn the corner and see a friend plant a huge kiss right on the mouth of a sister. I was feeling quite competitive, so when I got up to the group I did the same thing. She didn't kiss back and called me later to ask me what it was about. I told her I was just messing around, and not to worry about it. She shrugged it off and never mentioned it again. It didn't even make things weird between us. What a crazy night.

On a vacation, my mom spent most of it drunk. My daughter and niece were sharing a cabin and were getting on each others nerves-and not shy to tell the adults. They told me that my mom spent the entire trip sloshed, kicked my sister out of the cabin they shared, threw her clothes in the hallway,and totally alienated my niece-who had previously adored my mom. My mom was paying for the trip, it was a couple of years after my dad died. She started out just drinking steadily, but not unpleasant. My niece made the comment "Aunt M-, don't you think you've had enough? (not real tactful maybe, she was a teenager) and my mom got all pissy towards her(mostly) and everyone else for the rest of the weeklong cruise. Absolute disaster. I heard ALL FOUR versions of this later. 3 of them were in total agreement with each other. My mom of course had a different take on it.
This is really more about a widow on a vacation she had wanted to take with her late spouse for years. . .so I have some compassion about it. But she gave two young girls some harsh memories of what should have been a special time. She is also one among many drunk/alcoholic JWs who never get any 'reproving' on the subject. Well, I am not a JW, so I doubt if she would tell me of it, but I haven't seen any evidence that she thinks there is anything wrong with her excessive drinking. She is not often left alone with the little ones anymore. Her grandkids love her, but her kids have a little less confidence in her these days.

While i was working @ bethel, i got on pretty good w one of the dept managers. We visited an xbethel heavy, who had a prosperous business. I think it was because i was a wallpaper hanging specialist. Anyhow, i hung some paper at the guys place while getting totally smashed. Hard to remember, but, i think they weren't too far behind. The nice bro gave me a bottle of black label rum as a gift. I had it for yrs, finally gave it away. Funny, as a jw, i never got drunk after that. Truthfully, i don't blame jws for the drinking they do.

Anyone who is honest with themselves will and can tell story after story of drunkenness in the org.
I worked with "brothers" for over 12 years and witnessed and sad to say at the time seen drunkenness DAILY, I seen DUI/DWI and racing up the road in construction vehicles on a daily basis with alcohol in the trucks, cases of beer drank daily on the job, I seen drunkenness on quick builts, branch sites, Paterson.
I remember being on a cruise with an elder and his wife, he was so toasted he had to crawl to the toilet and our table guest for the week after hearing him and his wife with my ex, preach the "Good News of the Witnesses" saw him board the boat plastered, she covered for him, as he could not make dinner or picture time with his wife. Next week he was giving the part on the SM n local needs, for turning in gross sin.
Drinking to many witnesses is the white area that they turn grey but no one ever turns anyone in for drunkenness b/c of the good ole boy system that they many if not most are guilty of.
Can you imagine how many less witnesses there would be if they pushed for DFing on this, ( a Bible Based ground) compared to smoking and many other witness interpretations.

I'm now a recovering alcoholic, JWism did nothing to help that. I agree that it is one area where they are given enough leeway to really get in trouble.
I got absolutely hammered at a JW wedding reception one night. That led to a conversation with the elders, I don't know if they elder who threw the reception and bought all the booze was talked to.
I'm sure there were more stories.

I got a bethelite elder drunk once at a congregation get together. He was being a stuffed shirt and a bit of an asshole, so I kept refilling his wine glass whenever he wasn't looking. The other JWs at our table saw what I was doing, and seemed to approve. His wife dragged him home shortly after he lost his ability to speak coherently.
