Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsStuppidest thing(s) you have done or said while drunk :p
I ratted on one of my co workers to another co worker, not knowing the he really wasn't a friend. Subsequently I had to apologize to that person.
I texted silly texts to one of my ex's.
I spent an aweful amont of money on online shopping, and when I sobbered up I had no clue why I bought all that stuff. Returned everything.
Said or emailed stuff that later didn't remember I did.

Only got drunk once.

(9,465 posts)On an antique samovar. Thank the gods I didn't win that auction. Robin Williams once described the combo of booze and eBay as "a perfect storm of addiction". I concur. I gave up the drink almost ten years ago, but eBay is still dangerous.
Oh, and I once wrote three chapters of a mystery novel in a blackout. It was a terrible novel, but at least it was painfully grammatical and all correctly spelled. Some skills are drunk-proof, unlike driving. The problem is that now I'll never know how it ends.

(40,827 posts)It's always been my good fortune I can still run, walk, swim, or crawl into a hole and hide after drinking too much.
I've never said anything drinking than I wouldn't have said sober. Drinking I simply say less.
I like to think I don't have any inhibitions to shed.

(6,336 posts)In fact we were both drunk. In fact that whole relationship (beyond friends) started in a bar. It should have told me something.
I saw him last week and it was so hard not to punch the guy in the throat.

(13,324 posts)I was still in college at the time, and it was St. Patrick's Day (of course). Since I had this other guy on my back, I couldn't put out my hands to catch myself, and I also went down with the weight of two people behind me. Busted out two teeth - I have a permanent bridge now - and my eye looked like Quasimodo for several days.

(3,041 posts)I've done more stupid things while drunk than I can remember.
Many of them involved nudity - going through a drive thru naked, walking up to an ATM with camera rolling naked...
Others involved driving drunk, which I pretty much did almost every time - sometimes driving through red lights at 100 mph. I was a menace to society.
But, since I never killed anyone, I guess the stupidest thing was probably jumping out of a moving car during an argument with my wife. Ended up with a broken thumb (thank God she slowed down) and then a week later I read a story in the paper about someone who did the exact same thing, same situation (argument with girlfriend) and died. Got a shiver up my spine with that one, but still didn't quit drinking.
It took a DUI to finally get me sober. (2009)

(9,465 posts)It gets a lot easier with time. Any time I feel tempted to go back to it, I just look at my next-door neighbors. They're really lovely people, but do incredibly stupid things when drunk, like yakking in the shrubbery and taking a wee nap in the middle of the parking lot.

(57,775 posts)My cousin who lives downstairs was brewing mead with a friend of hers who does it all the time.
I found the actors at the Renaissance Festival super annoying because they acted like they were preforming all the time. Even in the campground at night they would be carrying on in their accents, giving soliloquies.

(57,775 posts)It was about 17 years ago. I was in Brazil and had recently broken up with a boyfriend I was badly hooked on. I turned up at his house, drunk and crying. I've never gotten close to being that drunk since.

(109,162 posts)Yes my brother and I went with a couple of friends a few years ago to see Rage Against The Machine's reunion. Anyway the second day when the Red Hot Chili Peppers were playing we were drinking a lot before we went into the show. I had a few beers and some Gentlemen Jack. Needless to say the GJ kicked my ass. On the way in I blacked out and don't remember a thing from about 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM. When I come to I'm sitting underneath a ventilation tent, and I'm thinking it's like six days later. I look at my cell phone - it's actually two hours later. Long story short I haven't drank Gentlemen Jack since.

(21,484 posts)(late 80s-early90s), I got drunk when my first therapist told me he was moving to Arizona. At the time, I was renting a room from a very nice Christian family with a son, 14, and a daughter, 12. On the day that Jon broke the news, I bought a pint of cherry brandy (Grandma's "cough syrup" -- seriously). That night, I drank it straight from the bottle. I watched Cagney & Lacey while fucked up, talking to the TV. When the show was over, I picked up the phone and dialed a 976 number -- remember those? It was a recorded sex message, someone's 90 second fantasy -- for gay men. (I'm a lesbian.)
A few weeks later, the mom of the family told me that this call had come up on their phone bill, and they had found out what kind of phone line it was. She said they were worried about their son, that maybe he's a homosexual. I knew she didn't believe that; she was giving me a way to say that no, I had made that call. But I couldn't. I wasn't a big enough person to own up. Like I said, I was really fucked up back then.
I've been drunk a few times since then, but that was the stupidest thing I've done while wasted. I'm still ashamed that I didn't own up.

(6,199 posts)I wasn't all that drunk.
But seriously...
Sat doubled over in front of a club on my 21st birthday counting the bricks in the walkway, out loud, until my friends carried me off and poured me into the car.
Drove. Once and only once. On the return trip, had to ask the even drunker friend riding with me if that bright red stoplight had been there when we were heading the other direction, because obviously the city had sent a crew out to install a stoplight during the 15 minutes I'd been gone, just to mess with my head. You know how road crews are.

(6,452 posts)Not even sure who's bike it was, but it was pretty messed up by the time I got home. I woke up covered in road rash and dirt and something oily. At some point, I rode through bushes, because I had the scratch marks all over me, and at least once I rode straight into a curb.
