Please give me some of your drunk stories to make me feel better - was only round at a friend's house and her husband's measures are lethal! Should have known before I went but I never learn.

Not me but my sister. Home after a night out and sat on the loo with her head flopping when she lost her balance and fell forward. She ended up on the floor, bare arsed, folded in half, rolling around with her head stuck in the gusset of her tights. She needed help to get out of that one.

Carried back to my tent by my arms and legs by my friends at an event - the music was good and I got carried away, ended up drinking straight gin thinking it had a mixer in it. Spent some time under a heat lamp in the st John's ambulance tent and woke up wrapped in a foil blanket with puppy pads on the floor. This was only last year!

This one was brought to mind last night - I was at a school reunion, only people from my year so it was actually bloody brilliant - one of our number was utterly shitfaced so we got to talking of drinking in years past. (passed? Whatever).

I was at a friend's house with her girlfriend and my friend with some benefits. Anyway, because we were so "classy" we were drinking snakebite and black along with tequila shots. We were beyond wasted and began dancing like idiots, one friend thought chicken dancing would be fun, so she started, elbowed me hard I went flying, smacked the back of my head on a coffee table and banged against a radio. Obviously, because I was so drunk I felt little pain. A bit later, still dancing, another friend and I somehow banged our heads together. The evening ended, the couple stayed in their flat, other friend and I went to stay at my mum's. We woke up in the morning facing each other on sofas. We both had an egg on the front of your heads, then I felt behind my head, another egg there for me, from the coffee table. We took ages to sit up because we had hangovers from hell. Eventually, we did sit up and I was in agony. I'd banged my ribs on the radiator and I'd cracked/broken a few.

I've had more embarrassing drunken experiences, but none that were quite so brutal to my body.

@Fluffycloudland77, is that Dorridge near Solihull?

If so, I was sick there once. It was norovirus though, not alcohol. We had to leave a restaurant after the starter as I started to feel more and more ill. I felt awful, I was staying with a friend in Balsall Common, it was her birthday, and we all had to leave early because I was so ill.

I went on a pub crawl in Moscow once. The aim was to do the entire metro circle line around the city. (12 stops, 12 hours, 12 bars)
On exiting the 6th station stop (after much vodka) I drunkenly fell backwards down an escalator. It was incredibly steep and my trousers got pushed down as I slid down the metal steps crunching my arm. My arse cheeks had deep scratches of the grooves in the steps and was bleeding and I got carried out of the station by two russian men with my bleeding arse out and my arm was fractured. I carried on the pub crawl to not let anyone down but woke up feeling completely awful.

Years ago I was out with some friends for Sunday lunch and by the time the pub closed I was staggering home. My partner was in bed, I had forgotten keys, bad reception on mobiles and landline at the other end of the house. After trying to get in by knocking, phoning etc I decided to climb over the gate leading to the back garden. Was trying very hard, had slim jeans on which didn't help, so took off the jeans and climbed over (think the creepy next door neighbour was looking out at the time) and knocked on the window at the back and partner woke up wondering why I was at the back with no trousers...

TroysMammy · 02/02/2020 22:09

When I used to drink I would get sleepy. Works party in a hotel I woke up at around 3.30am in the toilets. It appeared I'd slipped off the seat and broke it as that was also on the floor. Every one of my colleagues had gone home. Just as well it was a hotel or I would have been locked in for the night. I've also fallen asleep, usually after 2 small white wines in quite a few establishments. I haven't drunk alcohol for years.

Just cried laughing at this

Years ago I went to Egypt. Was so excited at the fact it was an all inclusive bar. Had quite a few vodka and diet cokes. Forgetting the measures abroad were alot different to ours in the UK. Left the bar to go back to our room . ( was a small bungalow outside of the main hotel ) the very warm humid air hit me and I was literally on my hands and knees crawling to the room. Had to bypass a large life size chess board. Wrestled a few pawns, got to my room , threw up everywhere . pebble dashed the white walls with vodka and diet coke sick everywhere , then woke up the next morning with no hangover much to the dismay of my friend who I was with at the time. Threw myself into the swimming pool to wake myself up

I've laughed so much. I'm 40 this year and keep learning my lesson .... Until the next time.

Went out for lunch, came home at 11.30pm.
At one point in the evening, my friend and I were in a bar and a camera crew came in. It was a reporter for the news doing a piece on binge drinking and she asked if we minded being in the back ground. Crack on! We said. It was due to be on tv the next evening.

Next evening, I had recovered enough to watch the news. We did not feature in the background. Because we were dribbling drunks basically. BlushGrin

First ever ticketed black tie event as a young woman. Splashed out on fancy new frock, shoes, hair etc.

Drank a lot before we left home, got taken to the first aid point about ten mins after arrival, got sent straight home in a taxi, threw up hanging out the door en route.

Woke up next morning with Ab Fab Patsy-like big hair, fully clothed, having missed the entire thing.

(Bright spot: the vomiting helped with hangover reduction)

My mum got that pissed once she ate a kebab off the floor........ shes vegan Grin ( was sisters kebab that she'd dropped )

Years ago, my sister and I were with my brother on holiday. All drunk, he was the worst, all got home without too much incident. Crashed out in our separate bedrooms.
However, we learnt in the morning that the neighbours had heard him being violently sick, saw him passed out in the bathroom and called the ambulance.
Ambulance men came, realised he was just pissed and got him into bed, but apparently spent half an hour trying to wake my sis and I from our unconscious drunken slumber. On holiday we both just slept in our knickers! Blush

I remember going to a party when I was in my late teens where the host had made one of those lethal punches, you know, everything from the (parents) drinks cupboard poured into a large bowl.

You might not want to read this about a punch bowl but;

Long time ago now large house party in Muswell hill!

Place was rockin big time.I'd bought a new GF down with me and it was agreed that as I had to drive i'd lay of the hard stuff, anyway found a nice room upstairs and was having a very naice time with new GF for quite somewhile and after a while ventured downstaris again.

Seemed that a few people were more ill then what they might be and after a while i ventured into the kitchen where there was a large punch bowl not a problem. But then I noted that there were some bottles of stuff like floor cleaner and disinfectant and the like around the punch bowl i just stuck a finger in it and licked it that was enough it was almost corrosive ! Some loopy sod had found them and decided to augment the contents of said punch bowl with them.

I took it and poured the lot down the sink and was almost beaten up as I could hardely get anyone to understand over the very loud sound system what had happened.

I simply decided that there might be very ill people there so called 999 and asked for a few ambulances which did turn up but old bill came with them and sure enougfh there was enough dope smoke to choke on so i was called all things getting the police there!.

Decided to leave the place for a while but around 8 people were taken to hospital most had their stomachs pumped out or were given thinghs to make them vomit whatever, and were treated for chemical burns!

Never got a word of thanks from the people i took there, a few supposed friedships ended after that event!

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 02/02/2020 22:30

Drunk as a lord, flopped on my bed and got a severe case of the helicopters.

(Logical brain) knew that I must not throw up on landlord's carpet, so instead (illogicall brain) opened bottom bedside drawer and let rip.

Next morning I had a clear flashback the minute I was conscious, and had to face the cleanup...

kateandme · 02/02/2020 22:33

Vilanelle · 02/02/2020 22:40

A few days before Christmas 2018. Had friends round playing board games. I was last going to bed, when I woke up the next day I was still hammered and crying because I was in so much pain. I had drank a whole 70cl bottle of gin to myself. I still don't know how I managed it.

I was still rough on Christmas day. I'm teetotal now because of pregnancy! But seriously considering continuing it after birth!

iklboo · 02/02/2020 22:42

Someone's going to come along in a minute and tell you all off for making light of binge drinking

Binge drinking is dangerous. It's not being smug or preachy to not find this thread amusing.

BINGO!!!

Wincarnis · 02/02/2020 22:44

In my late teens, woke up after a good night out to see my mother standing in the bedroom doorway holding a brush and a shovel “get up and clean the path! there was a frost overnight and all your sick has frozen! “

HomerSimpsonSmilingPolitely · 02/02/2020 22:44

I am far too ashamed to tell my stories. I used to not know my limits and was a dreadfully embarrassing drunk...

But what I will say is after calming down and learning to drink in moderation, I am often the person helping the drunk person into a taxi, and I never think any less of them. I just have a chuckle to myself and then move on from it. You're fine OP.

ClientQueen · 02/02/2020 23:11

I was a student for 5 years. It would be more unusual if I didn't binge drink at some point! I do have a v high tolerance but drink very little now. I can easily drink 3 bottles of wine to myself

There was also the time I went to a neighbours party, got hammered on ouzo and my dad came across to find me swinging off a pole, necking ouzo, fag in one hand and random bloke draped over me. I was 17
Dad "not coming home yet then?" With a raised eyebrow and a FFS face

I came home the next day and he offered me a brew. Sweet, I thought. Took mug, went to neck it and he had filled it with ouzo. I threw up, with mum ranting at dad behind me and dad going "well she won't ever drink it again will she"

No dad, I can't even pour Pernod in the bar I worked in without retching so thanks HmmGrin

Someone's going to come along in a minute and tell you all off for making light of binge drinking.

I'm not here to tell off any adults for using their own free will to decide what is or isn't wise to do in their own lives and with their own bodies - as long as those premeditated decisions don't impact on anybody else's life, safety or mental/physical well-being or give them undue cause to feel threatened or frightened - and that the people actively making these decisions don't later try to use being drunk as a defence for their own pre-planned poor judgement (victims of spiked drinks and 'pranks' obviously excluded).

I agree that many of these tales are indeed amusing - although it's always worth bearing in mind that folk will often be laughing AT you rather than WITH you and that a single poor decision of this sort can dog you and your reputation very negatively for years to come, especially in the age of social media, viral videos and things posted online being accessible forever.

I personally don't drink alcohol for various reasons, although I genuinely don't judge those who do. I do make alternative poor eating choices more often than I should, so I'm certainly not the self-appointed healthy-food-and-drink police. I can well understand that people enjoy the pleasant feeling of relaxing, loosening up and getting 'merry' from a few drinks.

What I will never comprehend (and I may be the odd-one-out here or just a control freak) is what drives otherwise reasonably intelligent adults to plan ahead to deliberately get themselves into a position where they know they will seriously lose the ability to keep themselves safe. They actively decide in advance to 'toddlerise' themselves, likely end up wetting or defecating themselves in public and being 100% reliant on the goodwill of others - often also similarly smashed or complete strangers who could very easily take advantage; or the emergency services who have any number of more worthwhile things to be using their stretched professional (taxpayer-funded) time and resources on - to get them home safely and without any recollection of how this all actually happened (assuming that it indeed did). The big difference being, of course, that toddlers are expected to do this, know no better and therefore will always have a competent adult waiting there to protect them from themselves.

As I say, I honestly believe in live-and-let-live, and do find some of the harmless anecdotes very funny, but I really, genuinely would love to know what drives millions of people to regularly take things way, way too far, knowing full-well in advance that that is exactly what is going to happen and the very possible enduring consequences affecting their reputations, friendships and even livelihoods. Can anybody enlighten me?
