To ask about your embarrassing drink stories

[WillowPeach]

To make myself feel better

Last night I made a total tit of myself and I’m dying with embarrassment right now. We ordered drinks via the app at Wetherspoons but because the order went through accidentally twice, we drank far too much. There was no in between drunk period, one minute I was tipsy and the next I was out of control. Apparently I drew £100 out but have no recollection of it (luckily DP kept it safe for me!).

We were turned away from the Casino because we were so drunk so we headed to McDonald’s for the loo and some food. I headed upstairs for the loo and bam the next thing I remember is lying on the floor under the table, vomiting violently and falling back into my own vomit.

We headed to the toilets - both of us in the ladies with the blessing of security - and I fell beside the toilet and I was banging my head on everything. Then I was trying to wash the vomit out of my hair and off my clothes (successfully but I looked like a scarecrow).

Following this, I began hyperventilating and was adamant I was having an asthma attack (I was petrified) so an ambulance was called and for the 45 minutes it took for them to arrive I was breathing like a mad woman and crying that I wasn’t ready to die yet.

I sobered up at the hospital pretty quickly (maybe 30 minutes) and discharged myself so someone else could have that much needed bed.

Finally we went back to the hotel where I got a shower, washed my hair, put fresh clothes on and walked back to McDonalds for those all important chicken nuggets. The same security girl was there and I sheepishly and gratefully apologised profusely and thanked her for her help. There was a lot of humble pie.

Today I continue to be mortified but thankfully DP has forgiven me (he’s been amazing actually) and I’m pathetically nursing a hangover. I’ve never ever been in that position before (I’m almost 27!!) and I never want to be again.

It’s a Birthday night out I won’t forget in a hurry I know that much

So what’s your drunken tail that makes you shiver to the bone when you think of it? Please tell me I’m not the only one to make a total tit of myself!

"I somehow lost a tampon on the dance floor blush I think it fell out"

Please tell me you mean out of your pocket or handbag...

I haven't read the full thread but I am struggling to understand how the OP ended up in this state. Presumably the drink order contained one drink for her but due to the error she got two. How can you get this drunk of two drinks instead of one (unless spiked).

Seriously, unless you were spiked then stop drinking as you obviously can't handle it.

Love the suggestion of a donation to the air ambulance. That's a lovely gesture if you genuinely want to show your appreciation of NHS staff, and it really, really, really would make a difference x

Have too many to remember, mainly back in the heady days of university. But I can still occasionally manage to make a drunken arse of myself despite being a vair upright pillar of the local community.

One of my best friend's drunken antics are legendary, but they haven't stopped her from enjoying a very successful career and being a magistrate.

No Liz I honestly don't know how it happened I must of put it in incorrectly ( was my first time using one) and it just shimmed out down onto the dance floor. No one saw thank god but me

Stopped reading the replies after people got all boring and perfect..

I’ve done things similar op, it happens! My teenage years were a mess with alcohol and drugs due to undiagnosed bipolar disorder, although my worst is probably when I was stoned and drunk I got in the bath (with water) fully clothed randomly at someone’s house and puked all over myself then just continued to ‘bath’ myself in vomity water. I could vomit thinking about it

We’ve all been there and I’ve called an ambulance for my very drunk friend before because I was frightened because she couldn’t speak or breathe clearly. Didn’t get any chew from staff at all, I’m a smoker too though so I guess when I get lung cancer I should probably not seek treatment because it’s my fault. Oh and when I cut my wrists to shreds and overdosed my friend shouldn’t have called an ambulance either because I did that myself too

When I was 18 I was at a house party on New Year's Eve. I drank so much that I passed out face down on the my best friend and the hostesses bed and vomited profusely. Turns out she slept with my long term boyfriend whilst I was out of it so I think we were evens.

At my uncle’s 60th in a working men’s club with a rubbish bar the only thing I fancied to drink was vodka and lemonade. I don’t usually drink spirits so didn’t know how it would affect me. After 2 or 3 I felt absolutely fine, still sober, no problems and we all joked that it would probably be watered down in a place like that anyway. I had a couple more drinks then suddenly I felt very, very drunk. I leapt up to the dance floor and was dancing away on my own, singing at the top of my voice. I remember them playing that Safety Dance song and laughing uncontrollably at the cheesiness of it and dancing around like a right tit.
After about 30 mins like that I suddenly became a depressed drunk and sobbed like a baby on my uncle’s shoulder. I had to be dragged off him and put in the taxi.

I was the talk of the party. Until my cousin’s best mate topped me by puking on the buffet at the end of the night

Oh OP you plonker, the secret to piss artistry is chips and lots of them! Line the stomach nicely or else you’re in for a messy one (and a fair few mystery bruises in the morning).

Chuckling at the holier than thou posters though classic Mumsnet

I was accused of being drunk once when I had ventured out for a short walk after my hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) seemed to have eased a lot. I ended up vomiting into a bin while 2 elderly ladies stood and watched me while commenting about girls who drink too much!

@brokenwing

You seem intent on seeing the absolute worst so whatever, that’s up to you. However, I’m good person and I like to see the good in people. I also think it’s easy to see sincerity in people and that man who helped me was sincere, respectful and a true godsend.

It was a quiet drink in the pub but the drinks order was an extra 3 glasses - nothing I would call excessive. I’ve never been one for finishing drinks just because so if I felt I couldn’t handle it then I wouldn’t of had it. I was fine and then I wasn’t, I’ve never had any incident like this before. I’m a 26 year old with an undergraduate degree and a masters degree (with distinction may I add). I’m clearly not an irresponsible individual. I am a professional, but also a human who made a poor error of judgement. I wasn’t irresponsible or ever had an experience like this when I was younger because I dedicate all my time to getting good qualifications - I think that says more about me so it’s a poor call of you to think you’re so much better than me because of a few years age difference.

My actions weren’t malicious, I never intended to get shitfaced like that or be selfish. It just happened and unfortunately not something I can just take back.

Drinking pinks with an old uni friend, drunk far too much sitting in pub beer garden, felt sick puked in pinks jug and just carried on as if nothing had happened

@Joycedivision

I agree, it’s a fab suggestion. I’ll do that. Thanks to the person who suggested it

Pimms not pinks

Begged off sanctimonious buggers and get a grip. Seriously op you have had one awful experience in 26 years.... unfortunately due to hormones/1 missed meal/ some bugger spiking you as it’s funny it may happen again! I’m a little older and if we were in a pub having a glass of wine (or 2!!!!) I’d tell you and commiserate. However the mn mafia are listening so I’m off to have a very small glass of red

The last time I got really drunk I was at a house party. I was a mess. I drank so much that my dh ordered a taxi and took me home, I was amazed and astounded that the taxi driver knew where I lived, I then started praying to the great god of the porcelain bowl. I asked dh for a drink which I proceeded to tip over my other arm.. I woke up three hours later with water all over me and my head over the toilet with my hair in the actual bowl. It was grim. I had a 3 day hang over and i apparently spent my time at the party advising people about windows. I don’t drink anymore. It’s ptobably just as well.

@lollypop

Enjoy your wine

Just a heads up, we’re you drinking something different to what you normally drink? Cider or any drinks with lots of sulphates/sulphites(sp?) affect my asthma hugely and weirdly make my chin itch. I mentioned it to my consultant who confirmed that it’s the sulphates in certain drinks that can trigger an asthmatic response.

When drunk, my ride home was not an ambulance, but a pizza delivery man who watched me stagger about with a bolognase pizza (extra onions) and offered to take me home.

Which he did, very chattily, and waited for me to flick a light on so he knew I was in safely.

Were you in Glasgow OP?

no chance from me been teetotal all of my 37 years

I naively drank three pints of scrumpy as a student, thinking it would be like normal cider.

I vomited all the way home, including over someone's shoes .

Police cell. I am now tee total.

Are you crazy? Know your audience! Ring your naughtiest friends and talk about this, they’ll calm you down and make you laugh again but Mumsnet? Jesus! Might as well have tried telling your Nan!

"Police cell. I am now tee total."

Are you still in the cell, though?
