Stuppidest thing(s) you have done or said while drunk :p

[Bertha Venation]

60. Back when I was seriously fucked up in the head...

(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.
