Is cheating ever okay? Is it forgivable?
Can it ever be forgiven? Even if it's within the context of say, a drunken night at a party?

Yes, it is forgivable. I know a few couples, that were able to get past cheating.
A drunken night at a party, does not change the basic facts.
If you're not asking for a friend, and it's you who cheated, and you really think it's a one time thing, not a pattern of yours, and you really want to be in a relationship with someone, then you take it to your grave.
People confess, for selfish reasons, to relieve their own guilt. There's a chance that the person they're confessing to, does not want to hear it.
If it's you who got cheated on, then good luck to you. You may be able to forgive, but it's always going to be in the back on your mind, even if you're not the jealous or possessive type, it's the betrayal.

@Northwest I really agree with you on the part about the confession being selfish. I also agree that if you made the mistake then it is yours to carry not your partners. Like you said if you did it take it to your grave.
