*hugs to you* I am sorry the group dynamics are icky! I can imagine that would make the meetings more challenging to say the least.
What a bummer about the incident at the bar. Try not to worry about it. As someone who doesn't imbibe that often, if anyone asks, you can laugh it off with a 'I guess it hit me harder than I thought it would.' 99.9% of people will understand that and won't think anything of it. Also, everyone has a "drunk story", so you're not alone.
Something else...remember that everyone else was indulging, and that what you remember may be a blurry or nonexistent memory to these folks in the morning. So what seems very embarrassing now might not even register with them tomorrow.
