I would definitely confront the issue of...it's not ok for him to berate you in front of anyone, period. It is simply disrespectful behavior. Doing so in front of other people too means (IMPO) that he's more likely to get away with it, because you aren't likely to say something to him....in front of company.
It is simply not ok to put your spouse down in front of other people, alcohol or no alcohol...although as Lil said, alcohol does tend to loosen some people's tongues and inhibitions.
The boundary here is that what he did was disrespectful and hurtful...period. I'm betting he wouldn't tolerate that behavior from you if you did it. You can accept him for who he is, but that does not mean you have to accept disrespectful behavior aimed at you....in front of other people.
