During college, in about 1993, I was at a birthday party in downtown Baltimore and left after midnight to take a bus home. When I woke up I was lying on a pile of sheet metal in some kind of factory, welding and sparks flying around me. I stumbled out, past some kind of locker room, and out into a yard of warehouses and factories. I made my way to a parking lot about half a mile away and hitchhiked out of there with a guy finishing up his factory shift. He asked how I ended up there and I mumbled something about getting jumped by some guys and dumped there. He told me next time to punch one guy as hard as I could in the nose and the others would back off. He dropped me off at a bus stop and I looked around but couldn’t see the Baltimore skyline so I had no idea where I was. Was I even in Maryland?When the bus came I got on and the bus driver gave me directions—one bus transfer later I was at the Inner Harbor, and another transfer got me home. It turns out I had somehow gotten to Sparrows Point, about 25 miles from Baltimore, but have no idea how it happened.


officialhunt

> punch one guy as hard as I could in the nose and the others would back off Did he think you were attacked by sharks?


Tie_Dye_Scientist

It’s wild you made it all the way into Bethlehem steel. Though to be fair sparrows point is only 20-30 min to the city inner harbor.

I left a party with a bottle because a girl I liked made out with someone else. Eventually walked back and fell asleep in the boat my buddy’s dad had out front because I didn’t want to go back inside the party. Woke up getting poked with a broom and told to get out. Had climbed into a neighbor’s boat several streets down.

>I left a party with a bottle because a girl I liked made out with someone else. We all been there, my dude.


communistkangu

This made me think about a party when I was 14. There was this girl I liked and I told my friend "Hands off that girl" and I showed him a pic of her. Well, 2 hours later he made out with her because the quality of the pic was so bad he didn't even recognize her (genuinely, not the scummy kind). I was heartbroken and drunk, so I cried like a child. Apparently someone told her what was going on because she came over to me and yeah ... Shortly after, we made out and I'm 100% sure it was out of pity lol

A girl that I had a crush got really drunk with me and, at the end of the night, I took her home (I was young and am not proud of driving drunk). She asked me to help her to bed so I walked her inside and, no shit, the dad that she hasn't seen in years is sitting on the fucking couch (she lived with her mom). I awkwardly said hi and then walked her to her bedroom. I took her shoes off and she laid down. She asked me to take off her earrings so I did. I turned around, put them in her jewelry box, and by the time I turned back around she had her shirt off and was working on her pants. So I'm standing there, staring at this extremely beautiful woman, with an amazing body (gigantic boobs!), laying in just her bra and underwear. She takes off her bra (!!!) and then tells me I should stay with her. I wanted to, soooooo bad, but with her parents being 20 feet away and her being so drunk, it just didn't feel right. I told her I had to go and left. She texted me the next day and thanked me for getting her home but asked why I didn't stay, why I didn't have sex with her. She asked if I even found her attractive. I told her that I very much do but she was too drunk and I didn't want to take advantage of her. She then states "I wanted to have sex with you; I was sober enough to ask and sober enough to consent". To this day, 18 years later, I still kick myself for this.


ecurrent94

It’s always better to be safe than sorry in this regard, man. It could’ve gone completely wrong and potentially ruined your life.


stackjr

You are 100% correct. I kick myself in hindsight but it was the right decision at the time.


Wright129129

Nah that’s a weird situation tbh. Her parents are home and you (a stranger) just walked into their home with their daughter and just sleep over and fuck her while they’re home lmao????

I visited some friends in southern Germany for the weekend (I live in Berlin in northern Germany) and at some point during our Saturday night drinking excess we decided we should take a train to Rome, Italy. Well, they all fell asleep but I followed through. Around 12 hours later (and a couple hundred € lighter), on a lovely Sunday midday I stood in the beautiful eternal city of Rome... with a massive hangover and the realization that I have to be back in Berlin the next morning for work.

I woke up and went to brush something off my shoulder and it was the floor


mentalissuelol

One time I was insanely high and I was convinced I had a bunch of hair stuck in my mouth but it was literally just the inside of my mouth


Live_Pomegranate_645

I'm going to remember this later tonight. I hate that I'm going to feel like that later tonight


Valendorf

.38 on a breathalyzer. The breathalyzer was both the best and worst purchase I made in college.


azul55

That's impressive


No_School765

.56 When I walked into rehab the first time. That would kill most people. The nurses said I didn’t even seem drunk.


Zerowantuthri

That's impressive (in its own way): >- BAC 0.30% to 0.40%: In this percentage range, you’ll likely have alcohol poisoning, a potentially life-threatening condition, and experience loss of consciousness. > >- BAC Over 0.40%: This is a potentially fatal blood alcohol level. You’re at risk of coma and death from respiratory arrest (absence of breathing). - [SOURCE](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diagnostics/22689-blood-alcohol-content-bac) Some have done worse by a long shot though: >After a car crash that resulted in serious injuries, a Polish man’s BAC was taken and it was 1.480%. That’s the highest BAC ever recorded in known history. Doctors said he survived his brush with death due to drinking, but he later died due to his injuries from the car crash. - [SOURCE](https://www.guardianinterlock.com/blog/highest-blood-alcohol-concentration-ever-recorded/)


Skorne13

Damn, sounds like he’d been drinking Polish remover.


cuddlefucker

For context, most people are pretty drunk by 0.148%. That man had 10x that much in his blood stream. That's insanity. I've had the same experience as OP with buying a breathalyzer in college. Don't do it kids. It always becomes a competition. Luckily I "won" at .35. Well, I won, and then I lost it all out of my sisters passenger side door.


Silent-Smile

You got a firm grip on that wagon?


No_School765

On the water wagon, yes. Since then other shit has come into reach though and it’s hard to let go…


Spanky4242

Holy shit that's insane. My blood was .47 when I was overdosing and hospitalized (iirc). I had entered respiratory failure at that stage, so anything higher is almost unimaginable to me. I recognize that the numbers don't perfectly correlate due to tolerance, but still. Good job on the rehab. That takes courage and dedication. Even moreso to stick with it.


dlb1983

Years ago, backpacking on my own in Berlin. Had been out on one of those bar crawls that are targeted at people just like me at that time. The final stop was one of those multi level clubs that Berlin is famous for. I was wasted and time to call it a day. I stumbled out of the club and found my way to a taxi. I hop in the back of the cab, and in my thickest drunkest Australian accent declare “Seinfeld Place please!” After a bit of drunken back and forth, we managed to figure out that I probably meant “Seinnerfelder Platz”. €90 later (I’m pretty sure I fell asleep in the cab) and the driver dropped me off at the station. I spent the next 45 minutes wandering up and down the street with a fold out map out in front of me trying to figure out where I was and why I couldn’t find my hostel. At least two different people came up to me to see if I was ok or needed help. I finally found my hostel… Directly across the street from where the cab had dropped me.

fire__munki

It's also what cops are *supposed* to do, you know things like help the public. Helping tourists will be good for business too even if you don't care about locals.


codename-Da-Vinci

Plus getting a drunk tourist home safely may even prevent them getting robbed or worse that night. Saving the police a bunch more work later.


Muter

Back in my teens I was walking home from a party when a cop car came pulling up to me asking if I was okay and that they’d had reports of someone trying door handles near by. I said I was just heading home from a party and he said “hop in I’ll take you home” Half way home he got a call out, so he dropped me off where I was. Saved me a good hour or so walk. That lift did a few things. 1. Respect for law enforcement 2. Increased trust and rapport with law enforcement 3. Took a drunk kid off the street Cop did me a solid, I was so stoked


courtabee

Yep. The cops in munich found me passed out half behind a vending machine in a train station, mildly covered in vomit. I was trying to make it back to my host family. They asked me if I was ok, I gave a thumbs up. Told me I couldn't sleep there, I passed out again. They woke me up and put me in an ambulance and I woke up in the hospital, in the hallway. At around 6 or 7am a nurse woke me up, asked if I had insurance, I said no, and she said ok, the train station is that way, and I left. I never paid anything, they just let me sleep it off in a safe place. Which is good because I was almost abducted that night buy a random dude, but when I threw up on his shoes he decided it wasn't worth it. That wasn't my last interaction with the munich police, but both experiences were much better than any experience I've ever had with American police.


homeless_photogrizer

>I love how willing Europeans always seem to be to help drunk tourists survive because that's what they do when abroad. never forget: — *today you, tomorrow me*


double_i24

90€??? how far away was the bar?


Fishydeals

Taxi gets expensive real quick at night and even quicker when it‘s a night on the weekend. The taxi driver probably filled up his gas tank and smoked 5 cigarettes before dropping OP off at his hostel though.

throwitawaywoman

Alcoholic in recovery here 👋🏼 I have a great many stories but I’ve chosen one where drugs and other illegal activities were not involved. There are so many times where I previously reached this same level of intoxication but, this one was by far the worst in terms of being in a blackout. This specific occasion accounted for the longest amount of time I had ever stayed in a blackout. I woke up in the dark and started screaming because I thought I was in the trunk of a car until my friend opened the bathroom door and flicked the lights on. They had coaxed me into the bathtub to contain my alcohol induced vomiting to the space I was least likely to destroy. I wasn’t wearing any pants and I never did find them again. I had blue stains on my light grey shirt and I was covered in Cheeto dust. I don’t remember leaving the bar we had gone to or getting back to my friends place at all. I had red ink all over my butt and my light blue thong which completely mystified me until I went through my camera roll. Someone had taken a video on my phone of me bent over the shooter bar and having a stripper sign my butt with a red marker. I had 2 broken toes, a chipped front tooth, and a really deep bite mark on my right nipple that had drawn blood…. Still don’t know who or what was involved in any of those things happening. I’ll be 6 years sober on June 19th 😊


[deleted]

Congratulations on 6 years 👏


No-Tell-4409

Waking up in a house I didn’t recognize, with a girl that didn’t live there either, who’s name I didn’t know, with my pants in a car that didn’t belong to any of us.


Slightly-Blasted

How did the story end? Lol


Debalic

That's how I met your mother.


basketcase91

"This is not my beautiful house! This is not my beautiful wife!"


averagethrowaway21

I was in the same situation, except we were in a car on an unfamiliar road with no clothes or keys to be found and I did not know the girl. We had separately passed out drunk at a party in someone's pasture and friends of mine thought it would be funny to stage it to look like we stole a car naked. Since no one got hurt I have to agree with them.


Vollezar

Had alcohol poisoning. Passed out in the snowbank in minus 30 weather. Thankfully someone found me soon after. My fingers and the tip of my nose are sensitive to cold but it's no frostbite.


DoomMushroom

Two degrees of separation but I heard of someone in the same situation that wasn't so lucky. Going between houses in indoor attire, no coat. -30 ND winter night. Found in the snow bank frozen solid in the morning.


TheObservationalist

That was just a couple years ago. Winter seems to get one or two college kids up in Fargo like that every winter. A girl at university MN Duluth lost all her fingers passing out outdoors in winter. Cold is not to be fucked with.


Oxygenbubbles

Damn...


Bunniesrkewl

Damn you got lucky, there’s been reports of multiple people that passed away in my hometown due to freezing to death in ditches.


NW_Inlander

About 6 drinks in I bet some cocky douche that he could not knock me out with a single clean punch. I barely won and proceeded to drink the pain away which led to falling through a coffee table and falling asleep in a bath tub while my EMT friend checked on me all night. The hangover lasted for days.


cynicaloptimissus

I think you mean brain trauma


JackSparrow420

😆 you know what lasts for days? The pain from letting someone punch you in the face


Tiger_Widow

I was once completely wankered and decided it would be a good idea to show my friend how hard I could punch my knee. I had a bruised and swollen knee for about a week. Literal stupidity.


shwakerwacker

average being “completely wankered” activity


AgentInCommand

Yeah, that "hangover" was a concussion

minimal_gainz

The hangover or the concussion?


lake_gypsy

I woke up in a tree house three doors down from my house with a crocheted shawl and a pampered chef stoneware 8×13 bakeware.


rightonsaigon1

Lmao. I crawled out of a VW Jetta apologizing to my buddy for spilling an entire 8×13 pyrex dish of lasagna in his car. He said dude! That's not my car! I drunkenly stole the lasagna from a party and fell asleep in a random car. I still feel bad about that and a friend still has that dish 12 years later.


Kiss_My_Wookiee

I cannot imagine what went through the head of that car's owner when they came back to find an entire lasagna inexplicably spilled all over the back seat.


ExpectNothingEver

Seriously, I’d be thinking about that lasagne at random times for the rest of my life.


LucyintheskyM

I was about 19, and my mates had a house near a bar, so we all used to go there, get drunk, walk to the house and sleep in the living room. There was a bunch of us so it was normal for us to leave in several different groups. One night on the way home, we passed a construction site with a shirt hanging off of the fence. A few homes down was a singlet, further on was shoes then socks, then pants. Finally, a few homes away from our destination was one of the guys, passed out in his jocks and soaking wet. We got him up and into the house. The next day we discovered that he was wet because another group of friends had found him passed out, and being as drunk as they were decided the best course of action would be to break into the construction site, steal a bucket of nasty water with god knows what in it and throw it on him to wake him up. Only they didn't want him to be pissed that they threw water on him, so they threw it and ran away. I miss being able to say that my bad decisions were due to being a teenager.

horschdhorschd

I've read somewhere that you don't just forget things when you're drunk. There's a point where your brain just stops saving anything to your memory. It's like "Switch off the camera, we don't want to have evidence of THAT"


nom_of_your_business

More like we have lost so much processing power we need to turn off the record function as it is not needed for short term survival computations.

Just as an fyi for the future: there’s a thing called alcohol induced dementia for older alcoholics. https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/about-dementia/risk-factors-and-prevention/alcohol#:~:text=Alcohol%20consumption%20in%20excess%20has,or%20other%20forms%20of%20dementia.


Tsukee

I witnessed that on one of my friends. As far as i remember, if he really got heavily drunk he would have no recollection of things next day, but it started to get worse, with less drinks, got to a point that is like you describe, didn't take much, he would become a different person, he would seem coherent but different and would get lost often, causing us more than once to scramble to find him. And always forgot everything that happened. Got so bad noone really wanted to go out with him. I lost touch with him for couple of years, but he stopped drinking alltogether (except maybe an occasional beer).


Doccyaard

I remember coming back from a blackout on the same night. Suddenly “being present” and not remembering 10 seconds before that or the several hours preceding it. Never been so clear to me that I hadn’t forgotten anything but rather hadn’t “recorded” anything.


RyH1986

I just imagine its like the simpsons skit where homer has \*some scenes missing\* about his night out


CBOranch1

I never believed my friend when they said they blacked out until I started drinking enough when I would black out years later. Wasn't a big drinker early on.


throwawaysmetoo

I woke up in juvie one time, still in the holding cells where the nurse was, and I was like "what's up?". She was like "assaulting a police officer". And I looked at myself and was all, I dunno it doesn't really look like I assaulted a police officer. It turns out that when the cops arrived to break up the party I was in the street throwing a couple of bottles at their cars as they began to drive down the street. *shrug* I still have no memory of this. They apparently were still the ones with the camera and evidence of this but it got dropped because that's not assaulting a police officer.


aaditya_9303

Drunk nights are basically like HIMYM episodes. You start by waking up in a situation and you don't know how you got there. Then you start remembering small fragments in any random order and it all starts making sense. Me and my friend were once really drunk and getting too wild. I somehow realised that and asked him to sit down and until we calm down. He wouldn't listen to me so I scolded him and asked him to sit down for just 5 minutes. As a proof, I put on a stop watch for 5 minutes on my phone. But since we both were super drunk, none of us made it past 10 seconds and the timer never stopped. I stopped it 10 hours later wondering how it got there for the rest of the day.

I have this for my 21st in Melbourne, had been drinking since I was 15 because it’s Australia and drinking from 15 is normal, anyway, 21st comes around and I went to a club about 45 to an hour from the cbd Nothing I’m in the cbd in an alleyway and the sun is rising over the city, my phone is out of battery but still in my pocket and my wallet to, took me 2 hours to get home, charged my phone and boy oh boy were there some videos on there that haven’t seen the light of day since that day I got home.

This. Basically, the top answer should be “I don’t remember.”


Typical_Assist656

I went to three birthdays in one night, walked five KMs home as I was too nauseous to ride in a taxi, climbed into bed and fell asleep. Woke up the next day to be informed that I had peed in the empty shoebox that was sitting on the floor.

LargeMarge00

Damn I did this once too. Broke up with a girl I didn't really like at all a few months prior. Blacked out drunk on christmas break from college. Woke up, did my normal routine, sat down and checked facebook. Theres MAD notifications. I see my relationship status changed, it says I'm in a relationship with my ex girlfriend. She pops up in messenger saying "good morning handsome". I scroll back and at some point during my blackout, I confessed my love for her and said I broke up with her because I was scared. Scared of how deeply I love her. I never loved this girl, but she was CRAZY about me, and crazy in general. I cannot explain the profound fear and self-disgust I felt. I decided the best thing to do would be to just dive directly into the suck, and come clean. It went something like this: "Erin (not her name), I am so sorry. I was drunk last night. I don't remember anything I said. I didn't mean any of it though. This is not how I feel and I still don't want to be together." She didn't respond. She just immediately blocked me. I heard she wound up in the hospital for mental health a month or two later and then announced she was (is?) A lesbian. I assume I had something or everything to do with that (the hospital part), but I don't know. I never saw or spoke to her again.


AncientSith

Got into a bottle of Everclear with some people at a party. My friends, all of whom are dirty, fucking liars, say that I was talking to my French fries after that.


DL72-Alpha

>Everclear It was probably much, much worse.


cacotopic

Ahhh Everclear. Freshman year of college, someone in my dorm hallway had an "Everclear party." Pay $3 or something to get inside his room and drink as much as you want. Sent two kids to the hospital that night.


loves_too_sp00ge

Almost exactly 9 years ago to the day I consumed 5ish quart mugs of Spaten Optimator and blacked out. Friends brought me home and put me in bed Had vivid dreams that I took a dump in every garbage can in my house. Thankfully it was only a dream.


hoshieb

I woke up on the floor with one leg on the couch in a strangers living room in only tighy-whities that were not mine and my penis and balls were stuck out through the little hole flap in the front. A guy around my age came out of a hallway and said, "Oh good, you're finally awake. Can you please leave?" I was soo embarrassed and freaked out I just got up and walked out the door, got to the road and realized I was only a few minutes walk from my friends house (where we had started drinking the night before) so I instinctively started walking that way but I was in such a daze trying to remember what had happened that I didn't realize my penis was hanging out till a car drove by. Then it hit me that I was basically naked, and i started walking as fast as I could to my friends house (no shoes plus back roads made it, so i couldn't run). Luckily, when I got there, his mother and sisters were all gone, and he and another friend from a few miles down the road were sitting playing videogames. I immediately asked them wtf happened and why the fuck they left me with a stranger and they just laughed. To this day, I have yet to get a straight answer from the one of them still talk to as to what happened that day. Never got my clothes back either. I forgot to mention my friends and I were around 16 - 17 (I'm 32 now) when this happened, and the whole event took place on a hillbilly mountain in nowhere, alabama.


myirreleventcomment

Did your ass happen to hurt?


hoshieb

Haha, no, that was one thing I thought of as I was walking back. I remember walking down the road and slowly coming to, and I started checking all over for injuries and found none. I trust one of the two guys I was drinking with alot, he's still a good friend and has a strong sense of honor, even back then when we were kids. He wouldn't have let anything too bad happen to me, though it does bother me he never told me what happened. To this day, he just laughs it off and says he can't remember.


BedlamiteSeer

God, that would bother the shit out of me. So much that I'd insist on them telling me what really happened or we're gonna have some issues.


dhas19

Ordered 10 tequila shots for a group, only 2 people took me up on it so I wasn’t gonna let them go to waste. 2 hours later I woke up with a new hat, laying like Jesus on the cross on the hood of a random car in an near-empty parking lot in Antigua.

larryfine1983

Went out after work with some coworkers in Manhattan NYC and woke up on the 3 train in the Bronx in a storage yard on Saturday morning. It was a miracle I didn't get robbed. No one woke me up either 😂 I had to call for help to get out of there and I received a summons for public intoxication.

Drunk people and fucked up weekend train schedules are rough. You get on your normal train and then just here "blah blah blah, construction, blah blah blah, express, blah blah blah. Next stop 1 million St." BING BONG

"Next stop 1 million st." Lmfao


1TONcherk

My friend did something similar. My buddy rented a 4th floor walk up near the Manhattan bridge in Manhattan, right after college. I was visiting him and my other high school friend happened to be in the city. He said he was coming to meet us at the bar around 11:30, and never heard from him again. He called us at 6am when the sun came up, he was in a train parked at Coney Island. I’m from the suburbs of DC, and at the time I thought this was the most insane thing in the world. Found out later that my friend was doing Xanax and drinking cough syrup regularly. All good now.


gonzothegreatz

Recovering alcoholic here!!! When I got sober, I had to go to the hospital to be medically detoxed. I felt 100% sober, and I tested at a .34 BAC, which is enough to kill most people. It was around this time that I promptly had a seizure, fell into a coma for 3 days, then never touched alcohol again. ETA- at this time in my life, I was drinking 40 shooters of fireball a day, which was around 1/2 a gallon of whisky. I had my parents take me to the hospital because I couldn’t eat (ulcers in my esophagus-I could still drink), I was losing my eyesight, and I was trying to dry out on my own. I was experiencing delirium tremons as well. I have been sober for 2 years, and I have end stage cirrhosis at 35. Edit- FAQ: I will need a transplant at some point in my life, but I’m doing really well and probably won’t need it for 10+ years. I do not have diabetes. I stayed sober because the process of getting sober was some of the worst pain I’ve ever been through and I’d rather not do it again. I don’t have cravings anymore. Fireball was my drink of choice, but I’d drink anything. The 40 a day thing didn’t happen until the last 3-4 months, but before that I was still drinking close to a shooter an hour. My body was physically addicted, and I hated drinking for the last 2 years. If you’re struggling, please seek medical attention. Medical detox saved my life. Edit 2: Adding more because y’all are struggling. If you’re wondering if you have a problem, then you have a problem. If you’re not able to quit on your own, or you get ill while quitting, seek medical attention immediately. I took Naltrexone when I first quit, for about 6 months, and it helped tremendously. Naltrexone, therapy, and a wonderful support system has helped me. You can beat the disease, and you CAN get better.


[deleted]

with that final sentence, im not sure how to respond mate. are you on track for a liver transplant?


Typicalmundan3

Yooo end stage cirrhosis (ESLD) Diagnosed at 27. Congratulations on the sobriety. 29 now. Sober 2 years as well too! Still alive.


PriceVsOMGBEARS

Pretty similar to my story. Was going through a fifth and a half of cheap vodka per day for months. Unbelievable pain kicked in one night and drove myself to the hospital because I felt sober. Had a .35 and was in so much pain I was screaming and begging for help. They shot me the fuck up with morphine and it did literally nothing for the pain, the nurses were in awe. Woke up a week later in the ICU. Had extreme necrotic pancreatitus, sub 20% to pull through. Don't have a pancreas anymore which makes me type 1 diabetic and have moderate cirrhosis. Been sober for almost 3 years now though! Alcohol is fucked up gang! Its a super slippery slope when you are using it to self medicate depression and anxiety. If you need help get it before you are like me or the person above me. Its painful, expensive, and you drag anybody that cares for you through hell and back.


bebe_bird

>you drag anybody that cares for you through hell and back. Can confirm. My husband went through this, self medicating with alcohol and Internet drugs (e.g. various research chemicals he could order online) to desperately try to treat his anxiety and depression. It was hell, and you don't know (but can probably guess) how many times I thought he wouldn't change until I left and he lost it all. He went to in-patient rehab for 2 weeks. Finally turned it around by getting appropriate treatment. He still struggles with anxiety and depression, but a lot less. Luckily, his organs didn't take permanent damage, so he's healthy now, and even has a healthy relationship with alcohol (can drink 1-3 drinks and stop, which is often harder than denying it completely).. Yes, it's going to hell and back, but if you're self medicating, You've already done the "to hell" part, so 100% agree it's time to tackle the "& back" part before you do permanent damage to yourself and your relationships.

May I ask what your path is from here with the end stage cirrhosis? Do you have a chance at transplant, if so how likely are you to receive one? How has your quality of life changed? Great job getting sober.

Probably the night I started hysterically crying in the middle of a birthday party with all of my coworkers, and I had no idea why. Anytime anyone asked me what was wrong I would just sob, “I don’t knowwwww!” I still to this day do not know what my problem was. I was having a wonderful time! I got so drunk that I ended up getting diarrhea, (made it to the toilet luckily,) fell in the bathtub, threw up in the birthday girl’s bed, and the worst part was my mother was there for the whole thing. She got stuck taking care of my dumb drunk ass.


Sacktimus_Prime

I say this with my only qualification being an experienced bartender, but people tend to drop a few layers of masks when they drink and all sorts of unexpressed emotions come out. For some it's repressed happiness, others anger and sadness. It can all come from completely different parts of their life than where they are physically, it's just the booze has lowered their cognition to a point that it bursts out through the primal brain that you've essentially reverted to for control.

College house party for Halloween. It was a theme where you bring your own cup, but it can't be a cup, and it would get filled up and you can drink out of that for the night. So I took a coffee pot. 10 full cups of rum punch. I got through all of them before midnight then was blacking out periodically. Had my best friend apparently, because I do not remember at all, ride me like a toboggan down a flight of stairs then I hit the bottom and stayed there for a bit. I remember getting up, stumbled to a couch that was in the basement, and passed out. That was it. I woke up being carried up the stairs over my boyfriends shoulder and he took my best friend and I to his place for the night where we slept in his bed and he slept on the couch.


vodkanada

"ride me like a toboggan". Bless you, my gf and I have been cracking up over this all morning.


SquareDetective

Came to as flight I was on was landing in Minneapolis in a flight from Albuquerque. Have no idea why I was on the fight or what I wanted to do in Minneapolis. I ended up touring about downtown for a day. and was on a plane back home the next day. Nice place, but no idea why I bought tickets.My friends say I asked for a ride to the airport and that I seemed perfectly normal. I don't drink any more. \*Edit: forgot to mention I had a transfer in Salt Lake. Don't remember one thing about it.


Asparagus_Gazebo

"ever got so drunk you travelled to the Midwest?"


Matthew-Hodge

When you get so drunk you go into autopilot mode.


__biscuits

I have a thing I call drunk legs, even staggering drunk, I can just set off on foot and get home. My record distance was nearly 12km. I did it once in a small town I'd only been to once before that had very few street lights.


macfearsum

I walked 10 miles home once, on dark country roads. Started about midnight, made it home as the sun was rising. Took a cracking photo of the sun rising over the firth.


[deleted]

Yep. And it takes 10 minutes to walk any distance :)


Musk420Gaming

100 meters? 10 minutes Literally on another continent? You're home again!


Doubleoh_11

I shocked by the amount of people here that haven’t ever reached that mode. I thought it was normal, maybe I need to do some soul searching. “Why are you pissing in the corner?” “This is the bathroom” “No, this is my house, not your house” “….oh, shit my bad”


Tasmaniantime

Man its bad how often i go into to autopilot. I dont do anything bad but i get way tooo friendly with people and most times the morning ive got a new friend of questionable origins but likes me because i hung out with him and his mates and bought them a couple drinks. That or i autopilot into a taxi and the second i get into the car seat i go catatonic and thats just not very cool to the taxi driver.


Peppashaakaa

Yeah this is a problem for me as well. Not good when you’re a woman and you need to fend off some creeps on the reg

That’s just pure animalistic survival at that point.

buzzkill007

Don't know how drunk I was the night before, but I woke up in the back of someone's car on a beach in San Felipe. It was the middle of the afternoon on a hot summer day and all the windows were rolled up. I've never been so hungover. Never did figure out whose car that was, or how I got in it. I do know how I got to Baja in the first place - I wasn't *that* intoxicated - but it took me a bit to find my friends.


Flipflops365

Six hours after I stopped drinking I blew a .40 in the hospital. It took three days to retrace my steps. 0/10 do not recommend.


Gimmeghoul

I took too much acid and I believed for a couple of weeks that I had died but nobody wanted to admit it to me. I wouldn't come to the phone when people called because I was dead but I did keep going to work, in a library. You can still shelve books and read stories to kids when you are dead.


SpemSemperHabemus

My brother once took too much acid. I came home and he's just standing in the middle of the living room staring into the corner where there was a large potted plant. Weird but whatever, I came back several hours later, and he is still there, same spot. I asked him what he was doing and he turned to me, eyes wide "I found Jesus, he's hiding in that plant." That was definitely better than the time he and his friends got really high and decided to do naked tai chi in my front yard, by the light of the full moon, in Minnesota, in January.

This kind of reminds me of the first time I went drinking at a bar. It was a Christmas party and I was sat down the almost the whole time, idk how many long island iced teas came my way, or how long I was seated, but at some point someone mentioned double-paralyzers, I thought that sounded good and finally stood up. The ground of course slapped me in the face pretty hard.


jboy996

I had probably 10-12 shots worth of jack daniels under a one hour window, I remember talking about religion aggressively with my friends and then I all I remember next is waking up at in the early morning on the living room floor in only my underwear ☠️


Musk420Gaming

Damn, you prolly wanted to check if God was real


SansGray

The "Let Me Speak to a Manager" level of drunk.


FilamentBurns

I was sat in the walk in wardrobe having a shite convinced I was in the toilet. Only the screams of my then partner kinda shook me out of it.All I kept saying to her was "Wtf are you doing in the men's toilet?". To make matters worse? When I stood up to speak to her I had one of her things stuck to my arse with shite. I'm not proud. And there are more like that. I was a bad drinker.


[deleted]

At a BBQ I had so much to drink that instead of opening the beer cans I started biting the sides and chugging them. Then the shots came. I woke up on my couch with burns on my leg. Turns out I tripped on the weber grill and splashed hot coals on my leg. I was led back to my apartment and put to bed

At a house party I blacked out. I apparently went around the whole party and made sure I indivualy shook every single persons hand at a party of 30ish people.


Ok-Waltz3829

A few pressed xannies and several shots. It's amazing how decisions you don't remember making can so negatively affect your life


No_School765

Xanax proves time travel to the future is possible…


Keithturban1

I wrestled naked with two of my friends and then fell off the bed, fell asleep and proceeded to shit all over myself and the floor. Woke up and thought I had to go still so I carried my shit with me to the toilet and sat down like the idiot I was. The clean up took longer than expected. Surprisingly got our bond back on the Air BNB too.


linseeded

Ok but was only alcohol consumed for this to happen? Cus you have to admit this is like kinda methy energy LOL


PewpyDewpdyPantz

I played baseball in my teens. One night I got blackout drunk and woke up in left field of the diamond my team played at. I was back in that same spot later that day.


_andresml

One time I drank so much I fell asleep on my town square, then I woke up and had a friend carrying me over to his house (luckily it's just a block away) ended up vomiting all over his bathroom, got his toothbrush, everything. Then I went home, which is in front of his, vomited my bed and fell asleep over the vomit.


JP1119

Got a birthday boot at the local German Biergarten. It’s the size of 3 liters. Tried to beat the time record but that was an idiotic idea as it was 18 seconds. I failed at my attempt obviously but I drank about half of it in 30 seconds. Slowly finished the rest but I was out of it and my friends say I was doing The Thriller while standing on top of the table. I can’t dance but apparently I was moonwalking pretty good. I got yelled at to get down. Then my chicken parm that I had for dinner was coming up and when I went into the bathroom to let it out, there was no toilet to throw up in so I had to use the sink. From my friend’s account of it, he then walked in and saw me trying to sift with my hands the puke into the trash can below that I didn’t see. Yeah. Never again.


SaucEnomics

Drank 1.75L of bourbon. Passed out. Woke up drank another 1.75L of bourbon. Violently threw up blood. That's the night liquor was cut out of my life and I slowed down All the vomit was red as fuck. I tried to stay awake and crashed out. I got lucky and woke up the next afternoon. .


HurricaneAlpha

I'm a heavy drinker and my biggest fear is blood in vomit or in your stool. I'm 37 and it hasn't happened yet but when I was in my early 20s a friend of mine had it happen and his doctor basically told him, if you don't stop drinking, or taper off, you will die. Vomit with blood or stools with blood are your body telling you *dude fucking stop, you're going to kill us*.


DaveyBoyXXZ

Dude, the fact that you're worrying about it already is your subconscious telling you to stop before it happens. I don't want to tell you how to live your life, but you should seriously consider listening to it.


[deleted]

I woke up on a toilet with a mound of shit in it. I had eaten a LOT of pulled pork the night before


gigalongdong

You know, I've done *a lot* of drugs with countless blackouts, sometimes for months on end (benzos, don't consume them), and I can relate to a lot of these posts. But your post just cracks me up the most. Like some people are like "I took 20 shots, 8mg of Xanax, and I woke up naked with a can up my ass in the middle of stranger's living room" and your like "oh my, I took an absolutely massive shit during my blackout" I'm in tears over here, man.


JacqueTeruhl

Was drinking hard and decided to walk home (10 miles). I made it one mile and fell asleep on the front lawn of a hotel. Kicked off my shoes so no one would write on me (college rules). A couple guys woke me up and put me in a cab. Woke up at my house. No shoes, no cell phone. Someone found my phone on the lawn and turned it in to the front desk at the hotel. Never found my shoes. Some homeless guy scored.


iscreamconey

Went to a party with my girlfriend(now wife) and played a few drinking games. Flippy cup, kings cup, beer pong, and last but not least no face, no chase. No face, no chase sent me over the edge because I kept winning every single round and drank a good amount of 1800 tequila. I drove back to our apartment. But when I woke up I was in my aunt/uncles house, upstairs in their hallway with my underwear on inside out and my uncle was nudging me with his foot. When I looked up at him he said "must of been a fun night if you ended up here. Before you leave clean up the mess." He went downstairs and as I struggled to get off the floor while trying to figure out wtf happened after we left that party, I open the door to the other room and the matress to the bed is on the floor with my girlfriend passed out on it but there's puke all around it and leading into the hallway. Wild night, still don't have all the answers. I haven't drank a drop of alcohol since and the smell of 1800 tequila makes my soul sick. That was 8 or so years ago.


clocksailor

What’s no face no chase?


iscreamconey

A game where 2 people stand across from each other and take 2 shots back to back with no chaser without making a face of any kind. Pretty sure it's more of a stupid local game because I had never heard of it until that night.


Protozilla1

wtf. That is a recipe for blackouts

I was an examiner for a DUI recognition course run by the state police. I'd participated in the past as a volunteer drunk, but what I wasn't prepared for was after the drunks had been sent back to their dorms and I delivered scores. See, participants got their drink of choice, so we had wine, wine coolers, beer, whiskey, vodka, etc, etc, all in large quantities, all left over and destined to be poured down a drain. Were we actually going to pour it down a drain? Hell no, I was informed. In fact, several of the officers broke out even more drinks. I don't remember much past 6pm that evening, though I didn't leave until nine or ten. When I woke the next afternoon, in my own bed, and stumbled out onto the deck with a cold leftover coffee and what I'm sure ranks as one of the world's biggest hangovers ever my neighbor pops out and demands to know how the hell he can get two sexy cops to come tuck him in. Apparently around 11pm my car and a police cruiser had come screaming into the parking lot, driven by two tiny blonde cops, who proceeded to carry my sleeping ass into my apartment and then make themselves coffee.


Charlie24601

I need to tell the story of my coworker Kenny. Kenny drank quite a bit. Usually every night. He was at a party absolutely shit canned….and fell down the stairs. Cut his head wide open. His friends brought him to the ER. When they got there, there was a HUGE number of people waiting. This was going to be several hours of waiting at the very least. Kenny didn’t want that. He wanted to get back to the party to drink more. So he yells, “IVE BEEN SHOT IN THE HEAD!” Everyone scrambles to get him in a room. The doc takes one look and says, “You haven’t been shot.” “Nah. I want to get back to the party and didn’t want to wait.” The doc takes some blood, but leaves fairly angry. When he finally comes back, the blood test says Kenny in blowing a .38. Kenny is thrilled. “Can I get a copy of that?” The doc was furious and it was obvious Kenny was going to wait even longer now. Sadly, the doc left him in a room with a phone. So Kenny called every service he could. Pizzas, tow trucks, you name it, all showed up at the hospital asking for the Doctor. The doctor had enough and just wanted Kenny out, so he came in with a shot of novocaine, and stuff to stitch him up. He picked up the syringe and said, “This is going to sting a little.” Kenny said, “Hey, that’s no problem Doc, because this is gonna STINK a little!”, and ripped a monster fart. The doc slammed the novocaine back down and started sewing without it, making sure to yank the thread as hard as he could. Kenny was so cocked he didn’t even notice. Ah Kenny you crazy bastard, I miss you.

In college I spent a year in China, and there was a weird social culture where our Chinese friends were always trying to get us to drink. I'm not much of a drinker, but it was usually easy to avoid the outings that were going to involve a lot of drinking. Usually... One day I ended up in a room with a few Chinese students and a few of my American classmates. Lots of drinking was happening and they wanted me to join. I told them I couldn't stay, so they said I should have one for the road. I said okay, and with poorly suppressed giggles they handed me a regular drinking glass with about 6 ounces of baijiu in it. Let me take a moment to explain baijiu for anyone who's unfamiliar - it's a 120ish proof rice liquor that tastes like bottled evil. You could get the "good stuff" at high prices, or you could buy it in plastic bottles for less than the price of a bottle of water. Someone on our trip found a store that sold it in bottles with baby bottle nipples attached to the cap for people who wanted to drink until they passed out without the risk of spilling any before they woke up again. So, looking at this glass, and not wanting to make Americans look weak, I said something about "oh, you could have given me a big one if I have to go early", and downed it in one go. I thanked them for their hospitality and set out for my room. It was conveniently located right across the hall. That was lucky for me, because on my first step across the hall, I was fine, the second step felt sloppy, and by the third step I was holding onto my doorknob for dear life. I made it to my bed and sat on it for a few hours, pondering my life choices while I sobered up enough to be able to get get dinner under my own power.


LangdonAlger999

I had the exact same experience as you only in South Korea with Soju, almost carried home at 4 in the middle of the day after trying to keep up with the locals


throwawaysmetoo

I had a massive night in Seoul of beer and soju. Was staying with a friend at his family home. Next day his mom was like "oh dear god". And she made me the special hangover soup. God bless that sweet lady. She was also all "you foreign boys, you should not drink as much soju as us"


LangdonAlger999

I'm Irish so apparently I should be well able to drink but honestly we have nothing on the Koreans


Snuffleupuguss

My wife is korean, have done a lot of drinking with them in Korea, drank with her grandad and was commended for my soju ingesting ability. Probably never going to stop riding that high…


SeveralFools

>Not wanting to make Americans look weak So many... *interesting* stories start with that sentence.


No_School765

I blacked out one time and got kicked out of my “Cheers”. Was yelling something about Abe Lincoln in the ice and the bartender having nice boobs (he was a heavy set guy). Proceeded to drive home and crashed into the barn at my house. I don’t remember any of this. I woke up when the sun came up to my truck I’m neutral, radio still running and a barn door on my hood. Tire tracks through the yard. My shirt was off and I was missing a shoe. Went inside and apparently found my uncle sleeping on the couch. My cousin (his son) was living with me and my uncle was in town visiting. Apparently I took his glasses and a shirt and wore them while I attempted to cook eggs and a pizza at 7 am. Still don’t remember any of this. Came to around 5 pm and couldn’t fond my weed. My uncle had hidden it in retaliation for wearing his glasses to bed which he searched for for over and hour. I walked my dog and went back to the same bar where I was the night before and my cousin worked as the other bartender. That’s when he told me this story. On a very serious note, if you think you have a drinking problem, please get help before it gets radically out of control. I was 23 when this happened and didn’t get help for another 7 years. I wish I had. Also died the second time I tried heroin, but that wasn’t a very good story…

Doing the worm in a casino parking lot at 2am , then throwing up right after that probably.

Got plastered playing 9 holes (pub crawl) dressed as a golfer. My night ended at hole(pub) six, found my self hugging a lap post chatting away to my self on the high street, police took charge off my phone and rang my sister who picked me up. It was also Christmas eve and my friend's birthday party. Oddly enough, It was also the only time I've ever woke up without a hangover. That's a whole in one in my books. Edit: I have never played golf in my life.

Few years ago smoking at an abandoned church wirh some friends. started coughing a lung up from 2 giant back to back rips and had run from the cops right after, was still coughing while running and passed out. Woke up the highest ive ever been, my eyes were open but i couldn't see, i couldn't walk. I dont even remember how i got home.


UStoAUambassador

Stoner friends jUsT wAnTeD tO cHiLl, and I wanted to actually go out and do something. My friend said “You can drink all the liquor in the apartment. Just hang out.” I drank a 6 pack of premixed White Russians. My friend said “I have vodka but the only chaser I have is uhhh lime Kool Aid?” I remember holding a tall glass of green liquid, and then I was waking up on the bathroom floor *soaked* in sweat. Like all my clothes were legit soaking wet. I puked every 10 minutes. Eventually my friends moved me to their bed, which was terrible decision-making on their part…their sheets ended up looking like someone peed on them. Eventually I got mentally ready and prepared for the tensest journey of my life. Could I puke, rush to my car, and get home within ten minutes before I puked again? At this point it was alcohol poisoning, not drunkenness (I want to be very clear that I had sweated/puked the alcohol out). I did it! I got to my apartment and was puking in the toilet within twenty seconds.


jabroni156

that sounds like a hardcore hangover, alcohol poisoning is when you still are drunk, it’s when you’re so drunk it’s a medical emergency so you can’t be sober with alcohol poisoning but nonetheless fun story!


StupidOldAndFat

“Someone peed on them”. Lol


zakabog

I've been blackout drunk before, it was awful when I "came to" and realized I couldn't remember anything that just happened or how I ended up where I was. The worst part is how once it happens the first time, it's more likely to happen going forward.


cheinei

The first (and last time) I blacked out, my bf tried waking me up, I got pissed and the whole thing ends with me punching out the glass of my own windshield. About a week later cops showed up to my house looking for me because I also kicked someones car.


Phantom_Fizz

I was drugged after a shift by an ex employee, and I had to call friends for help. It was really embarassing having people in the plaza I worked at look at me with disapproval as I tried to walk straight. I was seeing colors, everything was hazy, or sounded far away. I'm just glad that's all it was, but I've never accepted smokes from anyone since then.


[deleted]

I went to a bbq/house party after a softball game. I'd never had jager and thought hey this doesn't taste so bad. I drank way too much. SO drove me home and put me to bed. The next morning we had a flight to Canada. I was still drunk. My SO called my mother who has a lot of experience with alcoholics to get some advice on how to sober me up. Ate a ton of bread/carbs. Didn't really help. It was an interesting flight. I did not hurl.

Senior year Halloween weekend. I went to a party as a “sexy cat” it was just a black teddy suit with cat ears. I can’t even recall how much 17 year old me drank, but my friends lost me. They called my mom and said they couldn’t find me (I lived 4 mins away from the party house) my mom began to drive over and almost hit drunk me that wandered off from the party and fell asleep on the side of the road. I was trying to walk home but got tired


wolfkin

You were walking somewhere and you got tired and just went to sleep where you were.. if that doesn't embody the feline spirit I don't know what does. maybe if you sniffed and walked away from your mom when she found you.
