Regrets after a night out

[michael87cn]

Can't say, never done it and never will. :/ I don't like what alchohol does to me and I'm not a very 'social' person.

Some may feel this makes them better than me in some way, and maybe they're right. They're better at poisoning their bodies and doing foolish things.

I think the time I turned to a guy much larger than me, saying: "I don't care who it is, if it's you (*points at own close friend*) or whether it's you (*points at big-guy*), if you make that girl cry I'll break your fucking legs" when referring to an ex-girlfriend I was still very much attached to ranks quite high up there in the list of 'things I shouldn't have said', especially since I'm very rarely an angry person.

Thankfully I apparently had my srs face on, since he didn't immediately pulverise my skinny ass. My close friend felt a bit concerned too. I felt like such a dick...

I was on a field trip with school, and after a fun night, most of which I don't remember except for 2 bottles of wodka. I woke up, my hand was hurting like hell, had a massive hangover and from what I later heard (and saw) lost most of my dignity.
The final reports: I drank most of the two bottles of wodka, threw up in the hostel, nearly passed out, had to be carried up the stairs to my bed by friends, and when they got me there, they put me down and as I rolled from his shoulder, my hand banged against the wall, explaining the sore hand.

I never drink enough to put myself in a state where I won't be in control of my own actions.

Thankfully, I need to drink quite a bit before I lose that control, and I can always feel that line and know not to cross it. I drink because I enjoy the taste, not to get drunk.

Pleasantly drunk is my preferred state of mind on a night out, not inebriated.

Something like five weeks ago I was out taking a couple of beers at a local bar with some friends.
Manly men that we are, we decided it was time for some armwrestling. I was locked in a tied match with one guy for something like ten minutes, until we decided to call it a draw. I then tried my hand at a rather much stronger buddy of mine who absolutely annihilated me. Several times.
When I woke up the next day, my wrist was hurting.
It's been at least one month now, and certain movements and putting pressure on my hand still hurts. I've contacted a physiotherapist who gave me a couple of exercises to work on every day for the next couple of months to strengthen my wrist...

And I've been subjected to a decent deal of wanking jokes.

Also: The night before yesterday I got very drunk and didn't have the presence of mind to handle romantic approaches appropriately. There was a rather embarrassing incident that I'd rather not elaborate further on...

Ah go on. Elaborate. We are intrigued now.

Edited, because I felt I might have been saying too much.

Well... Long story short: Russefeiring [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russefeiring], Whisky dick.

I never understood the point of getting drunk... Especially when it's quite common to do things you regret.

Get drunk = do things you regret, feel like shit.

Don't get drunk = Don't do things you regret (well... not anymore than usual), don't feel like shit.

Seems simple enough. So no. Never done anything I exceptionally regret after a night out. I've done things I regret, of course, but not anymore so than on any usual day.

And to people saying "I don't regret anything!". That's self-assuring bullshit. You will always do things you regret. There will always be things you do, then look back and think "...Yeah, that was stupid". Benefit of hindsight.

I agree completely.
I drink in my house and i also drink out with friends, but i drink because i enjoy the taste of what i'm drinking.
I'm not about to down lots of disgusting stuff with the intention of Getting drunk...

I don't DRINK to get DRUNK, i drink because i enjoy it.

If you do get drunk accidentally, thats fine... And i'll help you out
Accidents do happen like that, especially if its a good night and there's lots of stuff happening.

If you AIM to get drunk and you do something stupid, I'm not helping.
Your problem, Deal with it.

Getting with girls I didn't want to, fingering girls I didn't want to, not fingering girls I did want to, getting with girls I did want to and then chundering straight after and only remembering the puking in the morning and not the getting off with, etc.

So girls, mostly.

Drunken fuck-ups are usually funny, and you can blame them on being pissed. Sober fuck-ups contain neither of these benefits.

And you don't feel like shit until the next day (unless you're a fucking 'emotional' drunk), which can be easily cured by an elaborate and vaguely superstitious hangover cure.

Waking up in London and not knowing how I got there (I live in Antwerp, Belgium btw), waking up in the hospital, waking up in a jail cell, ...

Yeah, it's probably a good thing I stopped drinking.

Never bring a chick back to your place when you're fucked up. Always go to her place or a hotel. Also, leave your clothes near the exit, that way, if she's a beast, you can say you're going to piss and instead make a quick exit.

Why, of course, if you don't genuinly feel like you've done something you regret, you are surely fooling yourself. If your lips touch liquor, there WILL be something to regret, and not seeing it clear as day is self-dillusional. Once again, I've seen the light. Long live presumptions!

Yesterday I was eating peanuts out of someone else's shoe.... not sure how that happened I don't regret it though.

 

[Broady Brio]

Eating undercooked food before getting annihilated... Not the best idea I had.
Getting annihilated by drinking cheap cider... Not the best idea I had.
Me being Lightweight Champion of the World... Certainly didn't help me.

Combine those factors and you get me losing control of attempting to do my business on the toilet.

That is the one thing I truly regret on a night out. Never again will I eat re-heated Chicken Pasta before I go out.

 

[almostgold]

Hmmm:

I made out with a good friend of mine one time who's boyfriend is also a good friend of mine. Neither of us remember any of it, and he never found out.

I couldn't remember a girls name in the morning.

Possibly a regret, but I once had a mysterious hickey and no idea who gave it to me.

I tried to fight a bouncer to get into a bar.

Getting the cops called to my floor my freshman year.

And others.

 

[BRex21]

Bad experiences in my mid teens taught me not to drink until I lose control or pass out, being the only one responsible enough to stay sober and drive people taught me how much nicer it is to have friends who are mellow drinkers.
Honestly if you wake up after a night of drinking to find out you screwed up, be it drunk dialing your ex, screwing up your current relationship or with other regrets you are doing it wrong.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I slept with my ex-girlfriend's sister on New Year's, I regretted that in the morning. I got mobbed by a gang of angry females. It worked out well in the end though. I've also drunk so much once that the bouncers at a club kicked me out because they thought I was on drugs. My head regretted that.

This. And what's even worse is that the most popular argument against this is that your life somehow isn't complete if you don't regret anything. See, regretting mistakes is one thing, willingly putting yourself in a situation where you'll do stupid things is completely different. So don't even try to justify it that way. If you enjoy it, good for you, the rest of us have other ways to entertain ourselves.

Honestly, I'm pretty immune to most forms of embarrassment.

I, along with a million others, am immensely jealous of you

It's not that difficult really, I used to get embarrassed over loads of things. Then one day in school, after chasing someone over a ludicrously muddy field. I slipped and splat, flat on my ass, caked in mud and hundreds of students all around, laughin and heckling. Know what I did? I thought 'fuck it' and stood up. Then instead of running off, re-enforcing their laughter, I took a bow and strutted my shit back to my mates.

Sure, people got a good laugh out of it and what I did was technically embarrassing. I just decided not to give a flying fuck.

It's worked wonders for my life from that point on.

Honestly just give it a go.

You know, I've actually done the exact same thing! It was more annoying than embarrassing, really haha. When I did it, there weren't that many people around, though the ones that were there did laugh a lot - it *was* a bit embarrassing, but I was more just "Aw man! XD" than anything. I kinda *had* to walk away though, because I was running to get lunch at the time, so not much choice. Got annoying when people kept laughing and asking me "What the hell happened to you?!" for the rest of the day, and having to sit on my jumper/sweater to not get mud on the seats.

 

[JustShyofGenius]

Did the waking up next to a hideous.... thing. At which point I decided that if I've been drinking pants stay on! Never happened again and I'm sure I'm a better, happier person because of it.

I think we all have done that at some stage or another. God damn it.

I've got something of a reputation for doing the exact opposite. I'll get blitzed, start talking to a beautiful girl and everything is going good. Then my memory goes fuzzy. Then I wake up, and I'm either in bed with them or I've got a date set up. And they're still beautiful.

People retelling me the story afterward have no idea how it works, either. I've done shit that you get slapped for like, 90% of the time. "Hey, let's go back to my place and fuck." Word for word. And it worked. More than once. How is that a pick up line?

The best story was this girl I was playing poker with. Well, I got completely trashed. We flirt all night, I black out, things move along and we're ready to move the party to my house. I wake up in the fucking bathroom stall. I come out and ask what happened to the girl. She waited for me for an hour, but she just left ten minutes ago. Man, I fucked up. Why did I get so drunk?

I see her three days later as I'm getting off shift, and I'm thinking there's no way she wants to see me at all. What happens? She literally runs at me, jumps and just clings. I got black out, shit faced, puking drunk and stood up a girl because I was hugging a toilet. And I still hooked up with her?

Every guy wishes they knew what my drunken persona knows.

OT: While I'm very fortunate that my blacked-out drunk persona happens to be awesome, I've still got a few stories that fit here.

I work at a mini-casino. That means that drinks are cheap there and they pour them extra strong for me. I get fucked up there often.

There was a waitress there that I had a small crush on, but I never made a move. She ended up in a relationship with this other guy and I still hung out with her there drinking a lot, so I had a lot of drunken conversations with them, together and individually. I'm told that some of these conversations stopped their relationship from falling apart and I had a hand in strengthening it.

To set this up a little bit more, this dude is about 2 inches taller than I am and outweighs me by about 50 lbs. Neither of us is in bad shape. He's actually something of a meat head. He used to run in gangs and he's not known for having a level head.

Well, one night, I come out of my black out and it's just Karen at the table. She says, "What the fuck did you just say to Miles?" And I haven't the faintest idea. I don't even yet realize that I was blacked out. It turns out she left to have a cigarette and I told Miles, "Karen should have been my girl. You're lucky I didn't get with her before you did." And nothing came of it.

How do I get away with shit like that?
