Help me feel better about being a drunk idiot

[Honeybee27]

Went to a wedding of one of my husbands colleagues on Friday. I have to say that we have known them and many of the other work guests in a social sense for several years and would class them as friends but even so....

I was pretty nervous about attending, conscious of how I looked and had a nice outfit picked and bought months ago. People kept buying me drinks throughout the day and into the evening and let's just say I got a bit too drunk. I don't remember a great deal but apparently I was doing some interesting dancing (cringe cringe cringe), being quite loud and chatting general rubbish to all those unfortunate to encounter me. I think my dress might have popped open at one point too

Yesterday I had a horrific hangover which has now been replaced by anxiety. I know I over indulged. My husband isn't cross and finds it funny but i feel like an idiot. In all of the photos I just look bleary eyed and ridiculous. I'm in my late thirties I should know better! I wasn't abusive or anything but I'm worried about what the bride and grooms family will think as well as hubbys work colleagues (a few of which have messaged hubby and myself asking if I've recovered )

Can anyone make me feel better with some reassurance or drunken stories of your own! I swear this isn't something I usually do and just feel mortified! No nasty comments please

Oh @Honeybee27 I'd love to see your 'interesting' dance moves!

I'm sure it was an advanced form of interpretive/experimental dance and hence you stunned the more anodyne movers. They want to play the video on a loop to study the technique

I cried to my boss about how much I hated my job once at a work Christmas do. I mean proper full on sobbing tears, rabbiting on about how bored I was and how much I hated my job.

That was an interesting Monday morning

Nobody ever needs to see those moves ever again. Less interpretive dance, more flailing limbs and cringey grinding. Made worse by the fact that there were very few other people on the dance floor so I wasn't even blocked out or joining in with the masses. Just a solo performance in front of all the families. Jesus I'm getting anxious again.....!

If I was there I'd be a lot more disgusted by the SM poster than anyone being harmlessly held to ransom by their party goblin.

Someone videoed me once in my cups doing the lift routine from DD. You understand I'm about 8 times bigger than Jennifer Grey and dance like an energised wardrobe. I had no idea I was being taped and went bananas when I found out.

You need a nice chocolate milkshake OP. You'll feel like a new woman.

So glad social media wasn't around in my younger days I've done some utterly crazy stuff while drunk. Too embarrassed to post on here I think it would shock some of you. So don't be too hard on yourself we've all been there

If it makes you feel any better, I got so drunk once I ran to the toilets to be sick (managed to get to a sink in time) only to shat myself at the same time. In a very crowded bathroom. Packed with ladies waiting for the loo. Then proceeded to be frog marched out by the bouncers.

Wish I knew how to NC

At least hes not mad with you!

I was at a family party a few weeks ago. Got blind drunk and told DPs brother and his girlfriend that her son was a brat. Everyone starts arguing and I'm stood there pissed as a fart asking why everyones so miserable

When I'm drunk I think I'm Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing. But, I'm not. I have many flashbacks of inappropriate dancing from my 30s. I tell myself the others enjoyed it at the time.
If it's mentioned face to face, just say you don't get out much and are an idiot / knob / hot mess (choose one that works for you) after a couple. Just own it!

Wishywashy if you live in NI and cracked your tailbone after the trolley incident I took you to hospital with your cousin. If you don't then there's at least one more tit who did the same thing

@m4rdybum gives a whole new meaning to your screen name

I love this thread
Cmon Highland ,no excuses, we need to know !

Poor you OP, such a horrible feeling. Just brazen it out and smile. At our wedding we had people cossack dancing (or they thought they were), singing with the band (uninvited) and one person picked my mother up and carried her around over his shoulder. It was awesome.

You sound like a great laugh and a nice person, the bitch who has put it on social media not so much...

@ParmaViolet44 thank you for that, I like to think I'm a harmless if idiotic drunk lol. I certainly would never want to offend anyone but it's just the sloppiness of it all that worries me. Fed up of snooty people looking down on me and this time I've given them a perfect reason to do so.

Wish me luck has i venture back out into the world today, been hiding under my duvet since Saturday morning 😂

OP I got so shit faced at my own wedding I smoked in front of my Mum (I don't smoke) Fell over head first and headbutted my cousin in the nutsack, cried about nothing in particular multiple times, told my Dad to fuck off, and then shouted "OI, DH, I'm YOUR problem now!" as I necked a bottle of champagne... and that's just the beginning.

@Loyaultemelie haha no I'm in Leeds, but it's reassuring to know I'm not the only tit 😂😂
Thankfully nothing broken, just a grazed back and a sore bum!

OP you have taken me back to a time that I have tried to forget for 20 years. Thanks. 😂

I, and about 5 colleagues were invited to a v posh awards event. We were all a bit nervous as all the big wigs in our company were there with their wives etc and was seen as a big thing to have been invited. There was a free bar.

Some of us had FAR too much to drink and a colleague and I decided to show everyone our amazing dance moves to Livin la Vida Loca by Ricky Martin. We thought we were amazing (I remember thinking at the time, god I have got some moves). The following day I had the hangover from hell, as did he and we spent the day deciding if we should go to work on Monday or just leave the country. I can actually picture us on the dancefloor - him ripping his shirt open and me acting like I was fucking Madonna - and it still makes my toes curl 20 years later. The only saving grace is that there was no social media.

@HighlandWorrier C'mon - spill!

The last time I drank far too much it was a slow agonising next day where flashes of the night before came before my eyes.

I was 32 years at the time

I remember skipping through town holding my best mates hand.

We did our customary declaration of love for each other ( she gets soppy when drunk which makes me soppy)

We danced a lot which I later recalled as a standard bar area ... it had no
Dance floor.

I flashed most people because she pulled my top To get me closer to talk and popped a few buttons.

I went home and proceeded to vomit 🤢

She went home and tried to force feed her boyfriend kebab meat

I did manage to Quit vaping though ( was using it as a means to get of cigarettes and was in the process of reducing vaping to be nicotine free .. the hangover meant I didn’t leave my room all day.

The hangover increases anxiety too
Doesn’t it I am jumpy if I drink to much ... I haven’t touch wood for that drunk again 3 years on.

P.s I am Pretty sure there is load of
Other stuff but thankfully alcohol
Amnesia is fab with no one else around to tell us what we did I got off light

I haven’t touch wood
Been that drunk in 3 years

I have so been there. Also the stuck up teetotal bitch from work revels in posting video clips. I usually go home super early now - my dd gets me about 10pm to try to curtail my antics
Op I thought you were my friend at first, she was at a posh wedding looking super stunning this weekend. She slut dropped, did shots, fell over, flashed. Etc. Her finale was face planting and getting the fattest split lip ever
She’s a teacher and has to face her colleagues today plus draw the eyes of all the parents. A couple of whom were there ...

Haha ok just for you two who asked I will spill only one of my misdemeanors whilst very drunk! A friend was telling me about her boob job and I asked to see, then proceeded to suck her boobs thought I was being so seductive in front of my husband who was mortified. I had no recollection the next day till he told me. The sad thing is the friendship drifted after that I really liked her company but totally understand it was a step too far 🙈

I've done some really embarrassing stuff when drunk.

I was very drunk at my own wedding reception. Ended up going clubbing in my dress despite my DH protesting. Dress got wrecked and I was dancing about like an idiot in it. Night club put me on Twitter and instagram 😂

The worst thing I did was when staying at my Mums house as was having a night out where I grew up. So drunk I couldn't get in, Mum let me in, undressed me as I wasn't able to. Left me naked in bed in the spare room. All good.

I got up at some point to use the toilet and went back to what used to be my room when I lived there. Got into bed naked with my brother. Mum woke up to him shouting at me to "get the fuck out" etc.

I remembered nothing the next day.

Oh Highland my toes just clenched in my slippers.

My brain won’t let me recall my worst times. My best friend believes that is her job

This will probably out me but I went to the wedding of DH’s colleague many years ago and didn’t really know anyone there except DH. I got so drunk I fell over on my way to the toilet and head butted the immaculate vintage wedding car...

Jesus I'd rather be at a party with you OP, than the stuck up wife who doesn't know how to enjoy herself.

If anyone thought you were a nightmare they wouldn't have been posting stuff or texting you, they would have been distancing themselves.

The only time it's not funny imo is when it's the same person every party. The predictable drunk aka the binge drinking alcoholic. So not you.
