Last night I got drunk and did NOT pitch a tent in my room.

Last night I turned up an entire bottle of vodka and completely alienated every single one of my peers and friends by being a confrontational fuckoff. My memories are patchy, but I remember one of my friends taking a plastic cup of whiskey out of my hands and throwing it, then grabbing my hand and pulling me out of the party. He took me home and I ended up bawling for like an hour and saying that I hated everyone. I'm kind of depressed this morning. Just kind of wanted to tell someone, though that's no excuse for this kind of self-indulgent BS thread that I don't even like.

:( sorry.

Miss Misery (thatgirl), Thursday, 26 May 2005 14:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Roxy, I can honestly, truly say that I empathise. A lot. AIM me if you like.

Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 26 May 2005 14:53 (twenty-one years ago)

hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 26 May 2005 14:54 (twenty-one years ago)

you were drunk, they knew you were drunk and will understand. talk to them.

(i'm on gmail if you wanna talk more)

ken c (ken c), Thursday, 26 May 2005 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

You mean I'm not the only one who turns into a fucking dick on whiskey? Phew!

slightly more subdued (kenan), Thursday, 26 May 2005 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Ouch, I know the feeling Roxy. Don't get too down on yourself and remember to apologize to any people you actually do like who you may have offended. The others can now justly go and fork themselves.

M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 26 May 2005 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

xpost to self (although I kinda figured hstencil was in my camp on this one.)

slightly more subdued (kenan), Thursday, 26 May 2005 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

it was both vodka and whiskey it seems from the first post

ken c (ken c), Thursday, 26 May 2005 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

welcome to my life

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).

giboyeux (skowly), Thursday, 26 May 2005 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I had a night like this last week... well I didn't piss any of my friends off because they weren't there, but I did end up getting arrested for criminal damage, and the best part is I don't remember anything about that part of the evening! Just leaving the party, and arriving at the police station. The 3 hours in between are lost to the mists of time.

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.

Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 26 May 2005 14:57 (twenty-one years ago)

the thing is, i'm a happy drunk, it's weird.

hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 26 May 2005 14:57 (twenty-one years ago)

haha police x-post...

Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 26 May 2005 14:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Man, whiskey always makes me into a complete cunt. I'm just going to have to give it up.

roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

roxy let me tell you an embaressing story about me and my not so good me and a night of vodka:

(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 vomit
locked 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 :-)

battlingspacemonkey (battlingspacemonkey), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

honestly, i think that's a reason to drink more of it.

hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

you were alright the last time we drank.

xpost

ken c (ken c), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm a happy drunk

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

M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:04 (twenty-one years ago)

wow you guys aren't happy drunks.

i mostly just get lower on the barstool, hunch over my drink, say dumb stuff to girls, nothing serious.

hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Roxy, huggelz. If they are your friends, they know it's the alcohol making you say nasty things. Don't worry about it too much. :-)

nathalie's baby (stevie nixed), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:05 (twenty-one years ago)

I told my sister about this incident this morning and she's like "why didn't you just stop drinking when you started acting bad?" And I was like "God, is that even an option? Do people actually do this?!" She goes "Um, there is this thing called alcoholism."

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.)

many xposts

roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:05 (twenty-one years ago)

alcoholism is like when you have to drink every day. different from just drinking every once in a while.

or maybe i'm just delusional.

hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:06 (twenty-one years ago)

right after that revelation im off :-) take care and dont worry.

battlingspacemonkey (battlingspacemonkey), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:07 (twenty-one years ago)

you haven't fallen out of a bus and hit your head on the pavement due to being drunk yet roxy, so you're doing just fine.

ken c (ken c), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:07 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm usually just very silly, but on the rare (?) occasion that I'm not, I have enormous capacities for embarrassment and destruction.

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)

you were alright the last time we drank.

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.

roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Ken, I was so bad that RUTHERFORD violently pushed me.

roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:10 (twenty-one years ago)

and i deserved it

roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I did end up getting arrested for criminal damage, and the best part is I don't remember anything about that part of the evening! Just leaving the party, and arriving at the police station. The 3 hours in between are lost to the mists of time.

...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.

giboyeux (skowly), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I seem to have a problem with red wine. There is a very strong correlation between me doing bad things and drinking red wine. Last week I was at a work dinner, and the white wine was NASTY. So I got stuck into the red instead, and there I go again.

Luckily I only got a caution but I have to pay £225. Ouch.

Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Giboyeux, sur l'argent et aussi en ce qui concerne le vin.

M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I cannot drink red wine without food anymore.

M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Man, this sucks. Poor Roxy, how will your friends take sheepish apologies?

I spent a while at university feeling so selfconscious and bored at parties that I'd just drink until I couldn't see, have manic conversations with everyone in the room, then fall over and/or vomit. Yeech.

Liz :x (Liz :x), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:15 (twenty-one years ago)

you probably did deserve it, but who hasn't been drunk before and did stupid things? (interestingly, apart from ruther maybe) Most people know what it's like and they'll be angry at you at the time, the next morning "hahaha roxy got sonned by wite vodka in booze beef" finding it amusing you got so drunk.

i don't know what you did but in most cases most people don't take these things to heart. (unless you actually punched somebody in the face or something)

or indeed that time liz :x poured wine over my head at a party!!

ken c (ken c), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:22 (twenty-one years ago)

ooh roxy, sounds similair to my night, though i didn't drink quite that much. just one of those nights of complete frustration over what i perceived to be the string of utter failure that is my life. and i cried and my foot and shins hurt today from kicking a chair and some other stuff around. ugh. boo fuckin hoo. i just felt like indulging it to get it out of me. feel better this morning a bit.

andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:31 (twenty-one years ago)

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

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.

slightly more subdued (kenan), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:33 (twenty-one years ago)

xpost yeah, i think it's less the booze, but the vent up frustration inside that causes these outbursts (the booze was just the excuse to let out we've been waiting for).

ken c (ken c), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:34 (twenty-one years ago)

did you end up in an alleyway outside of the local "punk" club, andrew?

lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:36 (twenty-one years ago)

ha! actually i did go in the alley of the local "metal" club and smoke some ridiculously potent weed with the very metal club owner. don't know if it helped my mood, but it certainly changed it. didn't run into samantha either. maybe next time.

andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:42 (twenty-one years ago)

x-post K: Huh. I didn't know that! I s'pose vodka would circumvent this except that (for me, at least) vodka tends to be mixed with sugary stuff.

giboyeux (skowly), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Whiskey is teh killer. It's second to gin for making you welcome strangers and alienate friends.

You'll be fine Rox and you'll probably find that everyone else woke up feeling the same way as everyone else. We've all done it.

dog latin (dog latin), Thursday, 26 May 2005 15:56 (twenty-one years ago)

What others have said -- the next time you see these people, it'll be like "sorry I got so drunk the other day, thanks for putting up with me" and everyone will understand and that will be that. Unless you blabbed some very personal information about somebody's secret pregnancy, or said something similarly hurtful that can't be taken back, then this will all be forgotten by the time your hangover clears up.

MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 26 May 2005 16:04 (twenty-one years ago)

i love whiskey! i'm a charming drunk!

s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 26 May 2005 16:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, I've finally gotten in touch with one friend and told him I was full of remorse. He was like "Haha, why?" And I said "Because I'm a jerk to everyone." He said "Well, no, you're not, and if you were a jerk to anyone they fucking deserved it."

So that's one.

roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 26 May 2005 16:07 (twenty-one years ago)

roxy one time at a party I asked a friend's GF to have sex with me and then immediately ran away giggling, through the living room, out of the house, and about two miles down a hill back to my apartment. But I don't remember any of this.

i dont really drink anything that isnt beer, so i dont know if id be different on different drinks, but that is kind of fascinting. i do have vodka or whiskey sometimes but i dont really notice any effects different from beer

charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 26 May 2005 17:10 (twenty-one years ago)

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.

slightly more subdued (kenan), Thursday, 26 May 2005 17:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't see Gear!'s image, but I love that somone in Italy registered www.drhibbert.it.

jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 26 May 2005 17:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, why is it only on bourbon that I feel the need to take my clothes off and run down the street? "We're streaking! We're streaking! Guys?"

luna (luna.c), Thursday, 26 May 2005 17:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll second that. What do you think Dr Hibbert sounds like in Italy?

giboyeux (skowly), Thursday, 26 May 2005 17:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I will also second getting drunk on bourbon and streaking.

giboyeux (skowly), Thursday, 26 May 2005 17:29 (twenty-one years ago)

why is it only on bourbon that I feel the need to take my clothes off and run down the street?

Like I said. Lotta fuckin' alcohol (90 proof bourbon, anyone?) and a LOTTA fuckin sugar. More than any other liquor, I'd wager.

slightly more subdued (kenan), Thursday, 26 May 2005 17:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Um, doesn't "pitch a tent" mean get a hard-on? Does it mean something else?

Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Thursday, 26 May 2005 17:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I think it's a reference to an old thread.

slightly more subdued (kenan), Thursday, 26 May 2005 17:34 (twenty-one years ago)

perhaps actually pitching tents?

Miss Misery (thatgirl), Thursday, 26 May 2005 17:34 (twenty-one years ago)

More than any other liquor, I'd wager.

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.

slightly more subdued (kenan), Thursday, 26 May 2005 17:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm surprised. Light rum is quite dry. Dark rum is sweeter, but not as sweet as bourbon.

slightly more subdued (kenan), Thursday, 26 May 2005 17:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm pitching a tent this weekend in the desert, where no one can disturb me

Gear! (can Jung shill it, Mu?) (Gear!), Thursday, 26 May 2005 17:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 26 May 2005 18:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought roxy meant she pitched a fit, as opposed to a tent, but I suppose that's stretching it.

Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 26 May 2005 18:04 (twenty-one years ago)

maybe that masturbation thread's really gone to my head, but i was expecting it to be, like, someone who habitually gets him/herself off upon returning home late and drunk but for some reason didn't this time.

andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Thursday, 26 May 2005 18:08 (twenty-one years ago)

No, no, I kinda thought the same thing. I thought it would be some harrowing tale of impotence.

Je4nne ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Thursday, 26 May 2005 18:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I got drunk and pitched a tent in my room.

roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 26 May 2005 18:16 (twenty-one years ago)

This thread makes me feel better, generally. I esp like the SCIENCE part and am now predicting that the next time (of course, There Will Be No Next Time as promised Last Time, hahaha) I get blindingly drunk, I will be yelling something about blood sugar and whiskey and how it's really not my fault, you bastards, why did you let me do this to myself?! No I don't want a shot! Why do I not have a drink in my hand?! etc.

rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Thursday, 26 May 2005 18:17 (twenty-one years ago)

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.

Allyzay flies casual (allyzay), Thursday, 26 May 2005 19:04 (twenty-one years ago)

andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Thursday, 26 May 2005 19:06 (twenty-one years ago)

xpost.. I was about to say... only people who have never had a drink in their life would use logic like that... I'm probably the most passive, cuddly drunk in the world, too. The "meanest" thing I've ever done was not thank a waitress in a rubber goth suit help me off the floor when i realized that I was passed out halfway into the entrance of a neighboring goth club's female restroom.

donut debonair (donut), Thursday, 26 May 2005 19:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I guess that's my only point...once you get past the point of rationality, which obviously people shouldn't do but shit happens, you're not going to rationally say "Oh my, my behavior is wacky, I should stop!" Because if you had that rationality still, you wouldn't be acting like a total cock up to begin with.

It's cool, I mean dude if this is like a one time incident and not something you do once a week people will forgive you.

Allyzay flies casual (allyzay), Thursday, 26 May 2005 19:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Because if you had that rationality still, you wouldn't be acting like a total cock up to begin with.

OTM. I mean, obviously. This is why SCREAMING at a drunk is much more effectinve than reasoning.

slightly more subdued (kenan), Thursday, 26 May 2005 19:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Once you think you've acted badly (usually by outside intervention or the cold light of day) it always seems worse than it actually was. In your mind you alienated everyone you know, in reality they knew you were blotto and reacted accordingly, probably giggling behind your back.

milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Thursday, 26 May 2005 19:17 (twenty-one years ago)

it's like as if any of your friends remember anyway roxy - from what i hear from your tales before they all hold their drinks pretty poorly themselves (or drink stupidly) and thus wouldn't have remembered a thing.

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.

lauren (laurenp), Friday, 27 May 2005 10:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I went to a party a my boss' house once & proceeded to drink a bottle of absolut having not eaten anything. I don't really remember much apart from much booze spillage over the carpets & down my boss' back when i was cuddling him. I also remeber at the start of the evening trying to avoid one of the other directors who had been hitting on me for ages. I mean he was cute enough but worse a faded denim shirt with faded denim jeans in a status quo look, euw! Still, the next thing I remember is waking up the next day at home covered in bruises (so much so that my female police officer friend wanted to question me) with the worst hangover & terrible flashbacks of sneaking upstairs with said director! One of the best flashbacks though was of him get a severe case of brewers droop! hahahahah! Still, I go bright red & want to run away screaming each time it is mentioned at work.

No not me! (Pinkpanther), Friday, 27 May 2005 10:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, it was totally blown out of proportion, though EVERYONE I've seen for the past couple 24 hours has been like "You were WASTED last night!"

It's kind of nice to push everyone away and see who comes back. I'm considering it a wheat-from-chaff device, and may do it again.

I hate that! "you were soooooo drunk last night" I mean, as if you didn't already know. It's like ppl saying "hey you've had a haircut!"

It's kind of nice to push everyone away and see who comes back. I'm considering it a wheat-from-chaff device, and may do it again.

I tend to do this regularly. My moods haven't been great lately, so I can see another bout of it approaching.

Yeah, except that I have a friend who turns into a total fucking asshole when they're really drunk and will round on people and say all kinds of incredibly hurtful things (we had a huge row one night when we were both really trashed, something to do with the IRA, which they then turned into a personal attack on me). The result is that, after fifteen years of this, and as much as I love this person, I will not drink with them outside pub hours and will go home early from any party they might be at.

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.
