My (25F) coworker (24M) invited a couple of us from the office over to his place and it ended up being a whole party with a ton of people over that ive never met. My coworkers were definitely tipsy themselves
It also became a bar crawl which is when I started getting more drunk and began expressing a desire to move to another location in our company. They inquired why and I basically told them I developed a crush on someone at said location when i was there a long time ago and thats why i wanna go.
I proceeded to freak out that I said that and started rambling to one of them that I feel judged by coworker A specifically. At this point coworker A comes by to say hi and I go “hey we were just talking about you” to which he obviously startles and goes “oh…awkward”. But after this he and i had a one on one talk for a bit where I asked him if he’s judging me and blurt out that “I don’t want you to think Im fucking a 50 year old”
I started trying to clear it up by explaining more and he cuts me off and goes “what you do in your personal life, outside work is none of my business and I don’t care either. Im someone who is good with things as long as people are doing whatever makes them happy – I don’t really care what people do even if I dont necessarily agree with it” and he also goes “im never gonna bring this up at work dont worry”. We just talked about other stuff like how he wants to move away from that location too and he spilled some gossip about another coworker and he also said something about feeling like he was a dick to us and was pushy last week. So our convo was definitely kinda personal ish! But im still embarassed about what i said
At the end of the night he gave everyone a hug kinda and just waved at me (this could be cuz im the newest there and he doesnt know me well OR he hates me lol) but i specificallt asked for a hug and i said “thanks for not judging me” and he didn’t really say anything to that?? Idk i could be way overthinking this
Anyways i actually feel like dying right now and am freaking out
TLDR: I said things I shouldn’t have specifically with a coworker and im regretting it terribly

That sucks and is embarrassing, lesson learned. Don’t drink with coworkers.
All will be mostly forgotten in time. Just don’t repeat the mistake.
Jax can handle all the alcohol on account of all the cocaine he uses…team Brittany all day. May she get everything and may he never be famous again.
Getting drunk with coworkers never works out well
I hear you. I know feel embarrassed. If it’s any consolation, I often take my team out for drinks. This is totally fine compared to what my coworkers have shared.
One example: “I had my 1st Eiffel tower last week in Thailand…” and then explained what Eiffel tower is to everyone around the table.
YFU but you learned your lesson. Alcohol and coworkers generally do not mix. You run the risk that you may be opening yourself up to discipline from human resources or get yourself fired.
It doesn’t sound too bad. I’ve heard way worse. But definitely set limits for yourself when around coworkers, it sounds like you were dangerously close to making a huge mistake.
Wait you are banging a 50 yr old ? Jeez 🤭
