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’m a 26 year old with an undergraduate degree and a masters degree (with distinction may I add).

Very good OP but do you know all the words to Candle in the Wind? And did you get a B in GCSE French?

@sadtrombone

No. I mentioned my qualifications because a prejudiced poster said something about ‘my type’ but clearly she has no idea what ‘type’ of person I am. What I mentioned demonstrates that I’m not irresponsible by nature, I have and continue to work hard and try my best to be a decent human being. Just because someone made a mistake (that wasn’t malicious nor intentional) does not give anyone the right to just assume what ‘type’ of person I am. That’s narrow minded, prejudiced and smacks of self-righteousness.

I think my worst was in a really posh bar with one of my best friends who generally acts as a little devil on my shoulder.

My friend had wrangled free drinks and kept refilling me (despite knowing I’m a total lightweight compared to him)

I got totally smashed ended up kissing (apparently a pretty attractive) guy. I think went to the loo came back and in my drunken state started kissing the wrong one upon return.

Awkward! My friend still teases me.

I had my drink spiked once, I was a student and out in a gay club with my friend. A guy was chatting him up and bought us both a drink. I think I must have took the wrong one because he walked off in a huff when I passed out straight away, not him. Scary but could have been a lot scarier if it happened to my friend.

A self inflicted one was when I was meant to be at a concert with my mum! We had been at one of those all you can drink prosecco bars all day beforehand and we got turned away... From a Neil Diamond gig.

Op,you are not taking responsibility for any of your actions,you drank excessively but deny it,vomited in an eating establishment but assure us the cleaning person was fine with it,wasted an ambulance,where,despite being 'wasted' remember clearly conversation with an off duty paramedic.it apparently wasn't an asthma attack.
Come on to mn and argue with anyone who calls you out on your behaviour.
So you clearly don't think you've done any wrong and want to share 'funny"stories about it.
You keep asking ok if they have read the thread.I kindly suggest you read the thread.
Yes people,all of us,have done stupid things,but don't brag about it.
As an asthma sufferer you should consider being mindful of drink so much.
I hope neither of you drive after checking out of the hotel as you'd have been over the limit

@karmastar

I can see you’ve read the thread, so I’m confused why you think I’m not accepting responsibility? I dismissed concerns about potential drink spiking because I accept that what happened is down to my own stupidity and bad judgement. I’ve stipulated that I’m mortified and sincerely apologetic for my actions (which I stressed both whilst this was happening and whilst sobering up). Not sure why you think I’m not accepting responsibility, providing further explanation is not equal to dismissing accountability.

I’ve also clearly stated that I don’t think it’s funny I the slightest - it’s a night I never want to remember and quite frankly wish I could take back. I’m mortified that I am a grown adult, a professional and somehow got myself into this state on this one occasion in 27 years. However I also understand that I am human and we all make mistakes we wish we could take back. I can’t best myself up forever, so I was asking for stories of others because I don’t believe I’m the only one to make such poor judgement.

I am mindful of my asthma, it’s mild asthma and requires the lowest dosage. It’s never usually a problem unless I excessive exercise which I avoid. I made a stupid call clearly, I am deeply ashamed of that and am usually a very responsible individual.

We never drive under the influence of alcohol - never. We checked out the hotel at 10, slept in the van for a couple of hours (which was already parked in a separate car park), went for a day out with plenty of water, food, fresh air etc. And DP drove home at around 11pm.

You really don't need to explain yourself OP! Everyone loves to take a seat on the high horse!
As mentioned by so many others, you're in good company of having a vey drunken night! It's really not the end of the world! Stop worrying what the unpleasant Lot here are posting to you! As I mentioned earlier, drunk sober, we've all had moments that haven't been our finest! We're human! Everyone messes up, don't let others make you feel worse! It happened you're sorry and embarrassed about it, now just forget about it and wait for someone else to put a thread like this and you can post your story! 🤪

Thank you @supersundaysunshine, you're very kind :)

“Chicken wine”???

Don't worry OP, went to a wedding last week, same as you as in fine one minute then bam out of control. Long story short I fractured my ankle !

Refused entry to a club.
Walked into a door and shattered the wine glass in my hand.
(Worst one when I was 21) wet myself on the way home as I was so drunk.

I'm mindful of how much I drink now, I do still like a drink and get drunk occasionally but I don't go overboard so that I can't control myself any more.

My worst funny is hosting a bbq and eating the fruit out of the punch as I was running around getting bits done. I ended up at someone else party as I went to tell them off for having fireworks and outdoing my party. I didn’t thank god but I did walk into their garden and start chatting to some random people and helped myself to a drink. Realising that one guy was chatting me up and remembering I had a boyfriend literally ran away. I didn’t actually realise the danger of the fruit absorbing alcohol.

A not so funny incident involved being 16 in Benidorm with my aunt who palmed me off to a group of older girls who took me out for the evening. I actually made it back to the apartment block but had lost the keys and aunt was passed out drunk. I threw up over the door and slumped down and waited. A group of older Spanish men tried to get me in the room and was touching me up trying to kiss me. Luckily the porter was watching in cctv and shoed them away and let me in the room (although actually grabbed my arse himself).

Both these happened years ago and why I am so careful drinking. I actually hate the feeling of being drunk.

Don't worry about it, op. We all have stories to tell.

I'm pleased you're okay now. And, to the poster who said it was a waste of an ambulance, if the OP thought she was genuinely having an asthma attack, how can that be a waste?

MissMisery it was a range of drinks obviously paired with meats as I’m sure there was also a beef wine, they obviously didn’t do well and I’m not surprised really, I can’t find any info on them

if there are any Mnetters who shopped in Tesco coleraine in N.Ireland in the early 2000s maybe someone else remembers them

On my 18 th birthday I drank quite a bit then we went back to my mums for a sleepover! My mum is teetotal so the drinks in the cupboard were years old and freebies from her work, think cherry brandy. I was dared to drink a pint glass of mixed stuff which I stupidly did. I then crawled up to bed carrying the kitchen bowl. Once in bed being the good ex girl guide I was I put myself in the recovery position just in case and went to sleep. I have now been tee total myself for years so i get to message everyone the next day!

@HollowTalk I imagine they are drinking in Wetherspoons because they're not a pompous, stuck up arsehole who is unable to drink with the rest of us peasants?

@Hollowtalk

I run my own business and work at a supermarket to boost income. I’m a qualified social worker and might potentially be working in child protection shortly as I have some interviews lined up. I drink in Wetherspoons because I’d rather not get ripped off by drinking in posh places when I could get the same drink somewhere much cheaper - then I can blow my ‘saved money’ in the casino

There are some very holier than thou smug people on here. Sadly for me, truly awful transgressions like this are so mortifying that I couldn't possibly relate them to anyone. I die a thousand deaths. Getting drunk is a disaster. I struggle to understand when people want to get drunk deliberately. It's awful. But please, don't condemn OP I am not sure why she is telling us this, but I am not sure those who have never made a mistake should be on such a pedestal.

Freshers' Week 1988. Guinness was 50p a pint so I had 5. Needed to be sick, huge queue for the toilets so all I could do was make it to the cleaners' cupboard sink. I did drunkenly try and clean up but probably didn't do a very good job of it.

I lived in a flat with an automatic light in the bathroom. Staggered home one night (very drunkenly and loudly) and decided to have a shower...fully clothed. Fell asleep whilst in the shower and woke up unable to see anything. My flatmate heard me sobbing from the bathroom and I remember her frantically asking me what was wrong so I said "I've gone blind!!". She burst through the door and of course...the automatic light came on again and 'miraculously' my sight was restored

Got plenty of drunk stories - I'm 5 ft tall, 7 stone and have friends who can drink a lot more than me so sometimes can't gauge my limits. I'm fine, fine, fine and then suddenly drunk. But generally not too much of a nuisance

Hope you had an easy day today and feel better

Bore off some of you! Miserable lot on here sometimes.

My first night living away from home, at uni, I obviously got completely wasted. There were lots of us at my flat, then they dwindled, leaving me and flatmates. I went out for a fag, the fresh air hit me, and I tried to run back inside. Couldn't get the handle working, vommed ALL OVER the front door and stairwell. It was bright pink from the bottles of cheap rosé I had necked. I cleaned it up, but not before they opened the door with horrified expressions. Great first impression.

Another time, after inhaling some slightly more illicit substances in Amsterdam ahem, my friend started speaking in a northern accent. He normally has a southern one. This freaked me the hell out, and after a little while I was in the corner shouting and crying "you're not real!"

Dommina that is hilarious

I walked out of my own birthday meal. For no reason whatsoever. Had a few beers at home whilst getting ready, had a pint at the pub before the meal. Ordered a steak, took one bite and just left. Walked outside, two girls were getting out of a taxi, I jumped in, gave him my address, got home, took my shoes off, threw up in the toilet and then went to bed. Totally random, so embarrassing and to this day (11 years later!) I cannot tell you why I walked out! Im sure the fresh air every time I had a cigarette didn't help (I smoked at the time) We all have nights in the tank that make us cringe. It will fade op, as the hangover has
