As far as how to talk to your friend about it, I don't think I really would have much of anything to suggest.  From my perspective, there is probably no way to do that delicately. The best thing to do, if you can, may be to simply chalk this up to experience & let it go. It may just be one of those situations where the more you try to "work through it", so to speak, the more complicated it's going to get.
It's likely, I would imagine, your friend is probably as uncomfortable with this whole occurrence as you are.  And he may just try to deny that the whole thing even happened or at least that he has any recollection of it  in which case you may well both just end up feeling even more embarrassed or perhaps end up in a big argument.  Perhaps other members, here on PC, will have other suggestions.
Anyway... I see this is your first post here on PC. So...  to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks!  May the time you spend here be of benefit.
PsychCentral is a great place to get information as well as support for mental health issues. The more you post, & reply to other members’ posts, the more a part of the community you will become.  Plus there are social groups you can join & chat rooms where you’ll be able to connect with other PC members in real time (once your first 5 posts have been reviewed & approved.) Lots of great stuff! So please keep posting!

Yes this is what I was thinking too, just leave it alone and try to move past it. But I already deal with anxiety and depression so I tend to linger and dwell on things.
You are also right though, and for this reason I dont drink because I dont make good decisions at all. I had quit previously but started back about 2 months ago. This right here is a reminder why alcohol isnt good for me. I feel bad about what happened and I'm not trying to be too awkward towards my friend because I dont know what he's thinking either, and I dont want this to end our friendship of 13 years.
Maybe one day we will be able to laugh about it, or maybe we wont speak of it again. But I will work through this event with my therapist maybe that will help me also by discussing it, and moving on.
Thanks for the kind words.
