Ouch thats horrid.....
Everyone knows you say things like that, especially after a few drinks to loosen your tougue - but nobody likes to actually hear it. The guy you were with could have been any one of the others that are now pissed off at you, and they would have been talking the same shit.
As for a way out of it - mmmmm - how about a letter of apoligy with an invite to a really expensive resturant - on you. It would work on me.
BTW - What terrible thing did you do 5 years ago?
