Ditto. I've done this sort of thing more than I'd like to admit. Just be glad the police didn't get involved (that shit BLOWS).

I probably shouldn't drink. I've known this for quite a long time though and it hasn't stopped me... I'm trying to lay off for a month though after this one.

(other ILX's look away now... or read and empathise....)
I went to my best friend matts housewarming party in london with a few of his very well to do friends from where he works.
matt had kindly brought me a bottle of very expensive rare vodka as a belated birthday present, feeling a bit under the weather and in need of a really good time (also feeling left out of the hoity toighty converstion) i began to drink, and drink i did.
insulting dignitaries calling them "tossers" and "losers" telling everyone very very very personal details about myself- i announced to the whole room when it had suddenly gone quiet very loudly that i hadnt been laid in YEARS because every man in the world who fancied me was a barstard! (not talking anymore just screaming- alcohol and talking dont happen) i danced on matts furniture offering to strip (OMG) (at this point matt took me outside with a pint of water and a ciggie) at this point i burst out crying and shouting.....
went to his bathroom loudly proclaiming i needed to vomitlocked myself in his bathroom and passed out.....
i awoke in bed with pajamas on- matt could have disowned me for life- we are still best friends :-)

Depends on what I'm drinking. Not a happy drunk on whisky, that's for sure.

But, whatever, I haven't had anything to drink in a while (minus the birthday, where I totally held it together despite drinking a lot), and I think it was just one night of over the topness (although this sort of thing has happened before.)

Lately when I get so drunk I have blackouts I end up realising I'm somewhere miles from home at about 6am because I've got disorientated and got on the wrong night bus. I think this may be alcohol reacting with anti-depressants because I never had this happen before I started taking Prozac, and now it happens all the bleedin' time.
― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:09 (twenty-one years ago)
Well, that's different, thats a kind of one-on-one thing. It's really different when I'm surrounded by people (especially ANY member of the Royal B4ngs [and omg that's a whole seperate thing]), and I think it also depends on what I'm drinking.
battlingspacemonkey -
That is fucking STARTLINGLY similar to my night, including the pint of water and cig. No offer to strip though, thank Christ.

...subtract crim-dam and add disorderly conduct and resisting arrest and we're square. Also, make 3 hours something like 6.
This was an extrememly rare occasion, but that doesn't make it, uh, "fun." Most of the time I'm actually a happy drunk; I never get full-on angry beligerent, just wild and possessing of a completely different sense of humor (espec. w/whisky).
Roxy: don't worry about it. The keepers will empathize, the cast-offs will get what they deserve.
This, btw, is why I'm trying to switch exclusively to wine. Happy, mellow drunk guaranteed.

Thing is, it's not just about the drunk, it's about the blood sugar. The drunk makes it so you don't notice what the alcohol is doing to your blood sugar, which is never good, and on hard, sugary liquor it's really, really bad. So then you're drunk, and on top of that you're having a childish fit like a kid who's had too much candy and is crashing and needs a nap.

Well, since the reason alcohol increases (or rather fails to supress) insulin production is purely hormonal (same with the constantly peeing while drunk problem -- alcohol supresses the hormone that regulates your body water content)... anyway, since it's all hormonal, it varies from person to person.

Hm... maybe rum has more sugar? I'll look that up. At any rate, rum is terribly nasty, so I don't imagine you'd drink as much.

OK dude wtf. No one stops drinking after they get to that point unless someone tells them to and makes them stop and even that doesn't always work! This is like a known fact of everyone who has ever had a drink. Once you get to the point where you're acting like a total dickhead, you are totally convinced that you are FINE and even if you AREN'T convinced of this, you get mad and sad and the solution is to KEEP DRINKING!! You should ask yr sister if she ever drinks! Maybe she's a secret Amish.

what ally and dd said about this line of reasoning being faulty is true. even my mother, perhaps the most rational and responisble person i know, screamed "go to hell!" at my father on one memorable occasion after she had ten jds on the rocks (he was trying to stop her from having an eleventh).
in any case, i hope your feeling better now. without hangover-induced fear, you're probably going to be able to look at things a lot more calmly.

The most annoying part about all of this is that they either never remember, or pretend never to remember, any of this the next day, so you get no apologies and no attempts to play it down a bit next time.
I know it's not a personal thing and they don't mean it, but it does get really tired after a while.
