A former friend didn't want anything more to do with you and you turn that into a character flaw for them? I think that says more about you than them.
I stopped drinking alcohol after the event for good, so there's that. It's not that I haven't learned my lesson from it. (Not drinking not beeing the only one, but i won't go into more personal details here).
And I wouldn't call it a character flaw. More like an approach on how to handle live. And in this case, I think she didn't chose a good approach for herself.
You can apologize however you want and the other person can accept it or not. Sometimes an apology isn't accepted. That's how apologies work.
To say otherwise is to not respect peoples' boundaries.
Yes, that's true of course. I just don't think it is of benefit to yourself to hold a grudge.
