Degen drinking at work last night and I puked a LOT. Will this affect my job?

Last night was a mess. I got caught up in the mood at work, drinking way too much, like way past my limit. Honestly, I don’t even remember exactly when things took that turn, but I know it was a blur of loud conversations, drinks in hand, and laughter that got too wild. And then it hit me hard. I ended up in the bathroom, just puking my guts out, like I haven’t since college, man. I feel embarrassed, beyond embarrassed, actually. 😭 The worst part was that it got onto my top and since it was white in colour, the puke was so visible on it. 💀

This morning, I woke up with the worst headache and that anxiety in my stomach, the kind that makes you wonder if you’ve just screwed up everything. I keep thinking about everyone who was there, watching, judging maybe, or laughing at me. And now I can’t help but worry: how will this affect me at work? Are people going to look at me differently? Will they even trust me the same way? I’m not sure, and that’s honestly terrifying.

I know people make mistakes, we all do, but I feel like this one hit different. I was there, in a professional setting, and I let my guard down. And the regret today is real. Now I just need to figure out what to do to own it, to make sure it doesn’t define me there, to prove that I’m more than just one messed-up night. I hope people can see that too.

Do you think I can do anything to redeem myself or am I being too hard on myself.

It has happened to me too. Don’t worry people have short memories and they don’t think about it as much as they think about themselves

It’s okay. People will talk about it for a while, maybe joke about it playfully but it shouldn’t be a long term problem. I have seen so many senior people (directors, VP) get super drunk at parties. People talk about it for a while and then they find something else to talk about only to remember about it on the next team party lol.
