How serious is this?

a couple months ago i got super super drunk at like 6pm and ended up in public all wasted. the cops were called on me and they picked me up. i spent the night in the sobering cell thing, and got a contravention of just 35 euros. It was in a little village in the country side. i dont drink often, like only a couple times a year. I didn't plan on getting drunk like that, or even going outside like that either.

half of my family thinks since i'm young (23) it's bad but it's not a huge deal, like it's something that can still happen at my age. and that as long as i learn my lesson and are careful to not drink so much like that especially alone, it's fine. The other half thinks it's really bad and i can't be left alone because of it. so now i'm being treated like a baby by those people for that one incident.

what do you guys think. is it super severe and warrents a 23yo being more controlled and babysat to prevent them redoing that or is it not that grave and they're old enough to learn from their mistakes alone?

it's really really bad

it's bad but not bad enough to react like that

Both. It's common, even normal, for young people to overdo it with drinking. But it still shows a lack of self control. At 23 you should have grown out of that by now. If you can't handle alcohol, then don't drink. You went to jail for a night. It could have been a LOT worse.

Your life isn’t for others to feel, it’s how you learn from things and better yourself. You are forever going to have people saying “she shouldn’t have done this” “she shouldn’t have done that”. You are an adult, you get to decide what is best for you and your life.
