It's normally not too bad at our league on monday nights.  

Tonight was a little different though.  I don't know if it was because they were gettin smashed by the other team, or just having WAY too much to drink, but it just wasn't funny after that.  Not remotely entertaining...I had my phone in my hand to call my father after my 300, and one of them said 'who you gonna call?' in a drunkin sarcasm...i jokingly/youthfully replied 'yo' mo...uh, my dad' (thought twice)  he said 'okay, fine, she won't hear ya, go ahead!'  so i felt a little bad.

One of them offered my a Jaeg bomb, but i turned it down since 1, i'm under age, 2, i've never touched it nor had a desire to drink any form of alcohol.

So they start in on me...everything was 'non drinking b@#$ard'  took everything I had to NOT go up to his face and say "I'd rather have my Dignity AND my 300 (that i had just bowled), and I'll write that on the note in the flowers I put on your mom's grave!"  He's never bowled 300, he's a 175 average bowler at best.  

Thankfully though, I thought better of it, the most pathetic drunken jerk doesn't even deserve to be belittled like that, I didn't want to stoop to his level.  I actually felt bad for even thinking those things up  

I HATE it when people drink too much whilst bowling!

That's one of my pet peeves as well.
However, if they're on the other team, it can work to my advantage.
And - since I'm team captain on 3 of the 4 leagues I bowl, I'm careful to select non-drinkers as teammates.
I've bowled on teams with heavy drinkers before. Several times, but for only one season. I didn't go back to the same team, and when my old teammates asked why, I told 'em.

Probably best you didn't get in his face.  Drunks seem to like looking for fights in many cases - could've turned out ugly.  I don't mind people having a good time, or even being a little loud - but enough is enough when they start being overly rude or personal.  If the behavior continues, maybe talk to the league officers and see if they can calm them down some.  If worse comes to worse, let the alley owners know they have been offering booze to a minor - they probably won't look to kindly upon a situation that might get their liquor license pulled.  Good Luck!
