((((TexasChick)))) You didn't overreact. It's amazing how booze can make people into monsters they don't usually resemble - and they can't exactly remember what those monsters said. I can't tell you how many road trips I've had that have been ruined for me but others seem to be oblivious to my hurt. They are probably not aware of the extent of your upset and wouldn't understand - but it doesn't make it invalid at all.
If you can find it in your heart to accept the apology for upsetting you (without the acknowledgement that they were RESPONSIBLE for upsetting you), then it will probably blow over. I have found that I have to remove the alcohol from the equation before I can reconcile people's behaviours.
