Getting sloppy drunk is not very smart. Especially when you are dressed only in a long shirt and some killer stiletto heels out in public. This girl is supposedly gorgeous and intelligent (finished law school), but I have yet to see any evidence of that. She lets her friend talk her into dressing slutty? She sounds like she's still in high school. At her age, which should be her mid 20's at least, she shouldn't still be influenced by friends into dressing differently than she planned, or pounding shots, etc. In short, you've written a lead character who isn't very appealing.
Don't like stories about manly men who have to walk on eggs lest Scarlett O'Hara get really mad and stalk off (which she really likes to do). It's really sexist and disturbing from a male point of view. It's happened to me more times than I can count -- a lot of women really, really like to be angry. It's a fantasy to have men plead for forgiveness.
I won't put up with it anymore.

In response to the comment below ; Yes the protagonist made some mistakes on her night out, but isn't that the point? The fact that she has flaws does not make her unappealing, it actually makes her more beleivable as a character. Being smartt doesn't make you infallible; when you become a lawyer you don't lose your 'human' qualities or your desire to go let your hair down once in a while.
Reading about the 'perfect woman' and the 'knight in shining armour' may be what does it for some people. But nobody is perfect, so you're lost in a fantasy if you think that is how life plays out.
I think the story is great, particularly the main character who has an interesting and alluring vulnerability about her. I'm interested to read on and see whether she finds herself.. please keep writing.
Talk about leaving us hanging. Hurry up and publish chapter 03, 04, etc.!!!!
