I like drunk me

I like drunk me. Is is unreasonable that I wish day to day me was more like drunk me?

I thought this earlier after a large Jack and coke. Obviously not drunk but just better.

CrunchyCowPat · 22/12/2012 00:08

YANBU. Same here.

StuntGirl · 22/12/2012 00:09

I like drunk me when I'm drunk, its when I sober up that I think "What a twat" Grin

SHoHoHodan · 22/12/2012 00:09

I do like drunk me, but she has a tendency to be a little indiscreet. (Coarse, actually). So perhaps not quite suitable for everyday. Plus she would probably dance inappropriately to supermarket muzak.

CuriousMama · 22/12/2012 00:10

I'm over friendly when drunk. Dance the lot. I sort of like me but think I'm probably rather annoying?

According to DH I am the drunk me and drunk me is only different because she sings more, very, very badly.

So that's...something.

Make day to day you drunk you! Seize the opportunity to indulge in bad decisions. Also stay near an appropriate adult that is capable of getting you out of mechanical plane rides outside supermarkets.

loisin · 22/12/2012 00:19

Drunk me is happy and care free and cool! Oh, so cool. Day to day me is depressed. Honestly,?, it would make me feel better to know other mums felt like this. Can I be drunk mum and responsible
mum.? I wish so...

I much prefer drunk me - right up to the point where she tips over into feeling-a -bit-dizzy-and-sick-me. Grin

I think most of us probably like soma aspects of drunk us. I do.
But I'm very indicreet when drunk - tell everyone evry secret I know. About me and others.
Wouldn't like to do that IRL.
I often wake up thinking "Oh no - now x knows --- about me Xmas Blush "

MrsKeithRichards · 22/12/2012 00:27

Dh likes drunk me

BJZebra · 22/12/2012 00:35

I had a glass of red after the ticket booth closed just before we got there to see Santa today, and after a sip or two realised that maybe I wouldn't have had the tantrum if I felt like that more.
That's when I realised my 11mo is more emotionally intelligent than me. X

LetsFaceThePresentsTheyrePants · 22/12/2012 00:48

I'm definitely drunk now as I think your post means that your 11mo is drunk.

But that caaan't be right

YouMakeMeWannaLaLa · 22/12/2012 00:49

I feel good when I'm drunk; evryone is a potential mate, I look good in the mirror, I have confidence, I am a chirpy optimist etc. But...I talk shit, agree to stuff I don't want to do and am very loose with affection!

If I could be drunk without ever being sober...without actually being an alcoholic, I'd be awesome and happy, but sobriety and Mrs.Paranoia-Shame DOES come and she be a cruel mistress!

I'm lucky to never have been a maudlin/ teary/ aggressive drunk. I'm everyone's happy and amenable bezzie! What are you like OP?

LadyBeagleBaublesandBells · 22/12/2012 00:53

Grin at this thread.

I am bored drunk and have another bootle I could finish!

WankinginaWinterWonderland · 22/12/2012 00:55

Ahem...keyboard again BOTTLE!!

WankinginaWinterWonderland · 22/12/2012 00:57

Wish I had planned a party tonight!! I could go for at least another erm... hour or 1/2

Wonder if it too late or early!May phone people!

BigW · 22/12/2012 01:03

Pregnant and then breast feeding - I can't remember what drunk me was like Sad. I bet she was a blast though, much more fun than exhausted, over-emotional me!

StaceymReadyForNumber3 · 22/12/2012 01:10

I like drunk me if I don't get teary and maudlin. If I do then drunk me is rubbish!

I won't be drunk for the foreseeable future though as now bfing ds2.

aufaniae · 22/12/2012 01:10

I miss drunk me!

(Currently upduffed, BFing before that and for the foreseeable future!)

WhoPutTheDickOnTheSnowman · 22/12/2012 01:13

I'd like a bootle. Can I have a bootle for each footle?

I have adopted the 'fuck it, why not?' approach to life I practiced so hard during my hard drinking years. It has led me to a happier place than the cautionary tale did - with surprisingly few disasters really. I couple it with a don't hurt anyone or be a pita and you're probably good to go kind of ethos.
The biggest disaster was not financial ruination or awful children - it was accepting the pleas to go camping (which I hate) with dcs who I was fairly sure would hate it but asked a lot - they did hate it, I hated it, Dh was unimpressed. Not the biggest loss in the world really. Oh and that one time I broke my foot falling out of a tree...hazy on the details still. Also not a huge disaster.

WankinginaWinterWonderland · 22/12/2012 01:51
Xmas Grin

Here one drink short of a bootle.....

WankinginaWinterWonderland · 22/12/2012 01:51
