And yet, here I am. Luckily I manage to delete most stupid things before I\ manage to click 'submit'. What are the worst posts you've written while under the influence of something intoxicating? Or perhaps just the worst things (or most interesting things) you've done? Do tell me. I'll most likely post something tomorrow when it doesn't take great amount of effort to type coherently.

don't worry, I've done it a few times myself... "a drunk man says what a sober man thinks", anyway.

cheers!

For he needs courage?
 
Heehee, two of my favorite drunk quotes, attributed to Hemingway:

An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools.

Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.


Following that advice, I once bought someone 101 ping pong balls for their birthday. Well, I bought 102 (17 packages of 6) but kept one for myself. It did teach me to keep my mouth shut, or rather, not to get drunk. :approve:
 
I have some comfort in: "What you don't remember has not happened"
 
I'm not so sure about that... I think it's more along the lines of: What you don't remember, you will have recounted to you several times in a mocking tone by all who witnessed.
 
No no, they are just lying...
 
Actually, I like your view better... :biggrin:
 
It has saved me from a lot of anxiety! :rolleyes:
