I thought it was a warm and humorous thing you could joke about in the office. Now, I am not German, but I have lived in Kiel, Berlin and Vienna and in none of those places are there people that would find this anything but a funny incident that most would quickly forget about. This is only a problem if you make it one. | |

Second, I say you should take it head first. You were and are embarrassed by it so just say that. Someone mentions it: "I know that was so embarrassing I can't believe that happened. The timing couldn't have been better" Then move on. | |

In general I doubt anyone cares. I am in the U.S. and would genuinely joke about it by saying, “He’s been like this since he was a kid… Just getting drunk at odd times!!! Hahahah!” | |

Clarifying the son is an adult in the title and rewording. Also breaking up a paragraph.
