I [24M] showed up drunk to a party my girlfriend [24F] called me to last minute. She's mad and says I screwed up, I don't see how this is possibly my fault and don't want to apologize. Am I wrong?

I had 4 drinks over the course of about 4 hours. Then I had a beer that I didn't even finish at the party. She knew I was drunk when we talked, she even commented on it.

Everyone's alcohol tolerance is different. 5-6 drinks it nowhere near enough to get me incoherently drunk or even close to out of control. I went from a bar to a house party. It's not like I stumbled drunk into her parents' living room where they were singing carols around the piano. Nobody would've noticed if my clothes smelled like cigarettes/booze. Everyone but my girlfriend was drunk/drinking. There was beer pong, jello shots...it was a party. And for the record...the mixing booze thing is a myth. Yes, drinking 5 shots in an hour will have a much different effect than 5 beers over an evening, but having 1 shot, 1 beer, and 1 mixed drink with effect you physically the exact same as 3 beers unless you trick yourself into believing otherwise.

I don't go out drinking a lot. I go out with my friends maybe once a week, and I only get drunk 1-2 times a month. She goes out with her own friends just as much, as we go out together at least once a week if not more.
