No one was made to look like more of a fool then they were making of themselves. If you don't want to be made fun of, don't get so drunk in public that you fall asleep sitting in a chair. If I did that I would expect to have the people around me get a good laugh at my expense. Plus, its your responsibility to not put yourself in a retarded position like that. Yes, I hope someone helped this person get home safely. Everyone there was probably quite friendly and would be willing to do that. But seriously, if someone I knew got that drunk in public, I would be giving that person grief, not the people that found it funny. Bitchin at the onlookers doesn't help this persons drinking problem. If there is anything wrong with this situation, it is that a grown woman got so drunk in public that she fell asleep sitting upright.
If an adult of legal drinking age chooses to have too much and pass out, it does not give anyone else the right to fuck with them. This is the part that really slays me. People defend the position of asshole shamers by claiming that the passed out person "offends" them in some way. How is a passed out person a public problem anyway? You should be more concerned with the person who doesn't pass out and decides to drive home. I adopt the mindset of "live and let live". As long as the drunk person isn't passed out on you, why would you care? How does their choice to drink too much affect your life in any way? My 2 cents.
whew! I feel better.
If you owned the restaurant or bar, you sure as hell would care. That's not exactly great for business. If it was my bar I'd call a cab and they would be gone. Do you like to clean up piss from drunken slumberers? It also makes your bartender look really, really not great. I think that people should be personally accountable, but that doesn't seem to be how our legal system works.
Whew! I feel exactly the same as before.
