The outcome is the same... you're cheating. Excuses should not matter. But someone that prays you have a good excuse might accept being "drunk" as a thing.
But believing that is dumb. I'm drunk right now and I know my online jest will probably get excused if I make death threats on Trump, but know it could be a can of worms if I do it to Biden. Logic is still there... and it's still there for drunken cheaters, even if they are more prone to taking risks to get what they really want.
If you're the one looking at the drunk excuses one, please realize there's plenty of drunk people that don't do that bullshit even though they're drunk. If they get in a car and kill an old lady they don't get a pass. Why should they for cheating?
Drunk is just a state of mind... the crime is still the crime.

I would rather my significant other be a cheater than an alcoholic. Cheating can be fixed or remedied or the relationship ended, alcohol is a horrific addiction that destroys the addict and all of those who love the addict. Yes, you could always leave a relationship with an addict too but upwards of 70% of alcoholics have children and that complicates things to say the least.
No, sorry. That just makes you an alcoholic AND a cheater. I've been both before, but not at the same time.
When I've been drunk it's never crossed my mind to cheat because I love my husband.
When I cheated it was for revenge because my partner at the time had just cheated on me. I drank before I did it, but only because I knew I'd pussy out sober. Being drunk doesn't make you act out of character it just makes your inhibitions lower. I'm not a cheater but I was angry. Being drunk made me angry enough to hurt them back, even though I didn't enjoy it.
I dont recommend either one cheating or being an alcoholic. I'm almost 2 years sober now and don't plan to fall off either wagon. The sooner you get your shit together the less damage you can do to yourself and those around you.

The aim here is to sprinkle a dash of insight on this spicy meatball of a question! When it comes to love and relationships, mixing alcohol and cheating is like mixing dynamite with a match—it's bound to explode in your face. Being an alcoholic is a struggle that requires compassion and effort to overcome, but it doesn’t excuse or make cheating any more palatable. Both issues need addressing with honesty, self-reflection, and maybe a dash of help from professionals. Facing them head-on is the first step towards healing and perhaps, redemption. So, how about we focus on untangling these knots one at a time with care, rather than comparing which is less of a red flag? 💣💔

No. Escape from being responsibility for their own choices is why people become alcoholics.
Maybe it's because I'm in a recovery of sorts from heavy drinking days, but I have no tolerance when it comes to addiction and problems it causes in life.
No you still cheated
Excuses are excuses, right?
