Can anyone share their tales of similar drunken foolishness to make me feel better???

I can't remember most of details but according to a co worker vomiting and falling asleep in bar were involved 😳

I am another one who really should not drink so hence why I try to avoid such occasions. I am also one with a mouth that gets loud and doesn't shut when I am drunk!
I have also had some spectacular injuries including tripping over and somehow turning round to fall against a plastic shelving unit that shattered cutting me badly from neck to thigh. did not feel the pain at the time but every time I sat down or sat on the loo one lot of cuts opened leaving pools of blood everywhere!

@labazslovesliving hate the stuff too so try and avoid also. I have an Xmas do last weekend of November .. going to be in my best behaviour 🤦🏻‍♀️ no doubt I'll be starting a new thread on here...

slowburnercom · 31/10/2021 20:56

Just out of interest was this thread started in 2017?

Switch82 · 02/11/2021 12:50

@slowburnercom yes if you look at the start of the thread you will see it’s a zombie but a great one

That’s amateur ffs. I passed out in the loos, I was found because my dress was visible as I was on the floor after vomiting. I tried to kiss a workmate (he luckily fended me off -I was single but broken hearted) i fell, I put a glass down too heavily, it broke and I cut myself. I had an argument with a totally innocent girl from my work and accused her of sleeping with her boss (my ex that I was broken hearted about, she had a boyfriend and wasn’t interested in him in the slightest). I had to be helped to my hotel room, lost my phone and spent the night spewing. On the Monday I went in and apologised to the girl I was horrible to, she was so lovely about it that I cried. I then walked up to my team and said loudly ‘I am soo sorry, please let the ribbing commence!’ It was fine but it was the stuff of legend for a few years.

@BashfulClam omg! Shock Grin

BashfulClam · 02/11/2021 20:02

@MynameisWa I started drinking wine on an empty stomach. I was lucky I worked with great people and I have kept a very careful hold of myself since then. It was 17 years ago.

One memorable Xmas party, 2 colleagues ( he was married, she was single) got hammered and ended up having a massive couples row on the middle of the dance floor.
Turns out they were having an affair that no one knew about until he accuse her of flirting on the dance floor with another co-worker. This was followed by him storming off as she screamed after him the she would ‘fuck’ whoever she chose to before pulling up her slinky dress to flash and proposition our slightly bewildered CEO before we could get to her… 3 of us bundled her out of the party up to her room in the hotel where she passed out.
Our company was famed for its rowdy parties so there was no come back in either of them… not officially.
He got a secondment to another country/ continent and she’s now teetotal…

Bluetitsfly · 02/11/2021 20:15

@Thinkingofausername1

Can I ask why people feel the need to get so drunk they make fools out of themselves? And especially if you are in management doesn't look very professional!!
Confused

This one is me … some colleagues and I got invited to the ceremony and evening do for someone we worked with. Lovely guy but from the Hebrides so we’d never met any of his friends or family, wedding was in the Home Counties.
So we do the church but have all day to kill So go to the pub, don’t eat enough ( we were all poor and in our 20s) and rock up quite merry at the evening venue. Discovered it was a free bar. Happy days. We drank, we danced, we limboed we congaed, we made friends, you get the picture.
In hindsight no-one seemed particularly Scottish but we were pushed so didn’t care.
We didn’t see the groom at all, bride had changed into a more comfortable dress…
It was only when they said their goodbyes around 1am And everyone cheered them out into the car to go off for the night that we realised we weren’t at the right wedding. The 5 of us had totally gatecrashed some random wedding at the wrong hotel - ours was in a similar place across town.
But seeing as we’d made new friends, were absolutely paralytic,
Bar was still going and had absolutely missed any chance of a last train back we just stayed on then sat on a bench outside the train station at 4am waiting for it to open telling each other how much we loved each other. God I wish I was 25 again!

Went drinking with much harder drinking colleagues than myself. Proper pub crawl. It soon became obvious that I was getting half way down my drink and being forced to neck it. So I decided to switch to bottles and smuggle them out is the pub. Half way along the street I chucked the bottle over the wall and to my horror it bounced back and smashed a taxi window. Hi was about to offer to pay when the Taxi driver got out, ran across the road and punched someone in the queue for a pub. There was retaliation and a mass brawl broke out. I scuttled off and hid in a pub toilet. Monday morning I didn’t remember a thing about it. Sat at the mess room table at the end of the day and somebody slapped the local paper in front of me. The headline was “Nine arrested in pub riot.” Took me a while to get over that one.

Omg I don't have my own story but a girl at my husband's work party (different dept to my husb) got so drunk she was throwing up on herself mid conversation and not even noticing. It was so rank! And she kept trying to hit on married men trying to get them to take her home with them, right in front of their wives. It was shocking. By the end of the night she was covered in her own vomit and still oblivious. So gross.

That is actually horrifying that they did that to her.

Not me but bf on first staff Christmas outing at new school drank way too much and got up on a table to dance. This was at quite a posh country house type hotel so didn’t go down well.

Everything, she asked for our opinions, and that's mine.

No, she asked for stories of similar incidents to make her feel better.

Went out for dinner for Christmas with our manager and small team. Manager and a couple of the girls left after the meal but one of the girls had a baby sitter for the whole night and so suggested we get our partners out and go for a couple of drinks. My partner was with his brother at the time so he tagged along and drinking with him is always a nightmare for me as he takes it too far.

i don’t have much memory of it but I ended up getting so drunk I was trying to convince my partner to go to the toilets for a quicky. I then threw up so hard I wet myself, luckily I’d been planning to stay at my partners after so had spare underwear… apart from I then did it again almost immediately after. My partner gave me his pants to wear and we all went to get food while we called taxis. I was sat on the curb waiting for the taxi taking one bite of all the corn dogs so no one else could have them and then just laid down and fell asleep. I was mortified when I woke up the next day and I messaged our group chat to apologise, apparently everyone was embarrassed of how bad they got but we were all so drunk and caught up in our own drama that none of us noticed how bad everyone else was.

RockItLikeRocketFuel · 23/07/2022 01:53

Didn't disgrace myself there, but... it was an overnight thing miles and miles away from home and I poured so much red wine into my face that if I'd got stopped by the police on the drive back the next day I'd have been in some trouble.

Threw up all down myself in the car within five minutes of home. Not my finest hour.

lexjoey · 23/07/2022 02:26

This video helps put the dumb shit I do into perspective. Hope it helps.

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 23/07/2022 03:23

DH pretty annoyed as I puked on the bed

FFS I'd be furious if my DH did this. I'm assuming he had to clean it up too? Sort yourself out.

mutationseagull · 23/07/2022 03:25

Crikey, that sounds like alcohol poisoning. She could have choked on her vomit and died.

mutationseagull · 23/07/2022 03:26

That was in response to Longlegs’ story, btw

marvellousmaple · 23/07/2022 04:20

Just realised it's a zombie thread but that feeling of impending doom after a big night out is horrendous. I have been not to get out of bed, not because I'm that sick just out of fear of utter mortification.
