Regrets after a night out

[VladG]

Not really. I'm kinda immune to getting blackout-drunk. A high tolerance for alcohol mixed with a weak stomach lining means that I can't drink enough of the weak stuff to get me that drunk, and too much of the strong stuff will burn a hole through my stomach before it burns a hole through my brain.

So far the worst thing I've done was not sleep with someone (overzealous internal defense mechanism) because it *might* have resulted in some very minor annoyances later on. In retrospect, I should have hit that because the worst could have been pissing off a person I didn't really care about in the first place. Hardly counts as a regret, about as much as going to a new, slightly disappointing, pizza place instead of the old favorite.

Mine are usually money-related, buying too many drinks or paying stupid money to get into a club cos all my mates wanted to go. Sometimes I'll get back in and go on Amazon, then I'm really in the shit until the CDs/books/clothes turn up and I'm happy again!

Occasionally it's girl-related, like going on a night out with a girl I like which happened on ever single night out I went on in my last year of uni (cos I fancied one of my best friends). But now we're together so all is great.

 

[Lawnmooer]

I've not really done things that I regret (Either through not remembering things I did or finding what I did awesome/hilarious enough that I don't care that it may have been embarassing)

I guess the only thing I kinda regret is that time when I ended up drinking a bottle of Whiskey, Navy Rum, White Rum and Vodka rather quickly and found myself passed out in a toilet... My tastebuds where screwed for a week (Chocolate tasted like Whiskey, I couldn't taste or smell Vodka and White Rum makes me vomit now)

The only reason I regret that is because it happened a few days before 2 of my friends birthday parties (18th and 19th, so lots of alcohol)

I'd probably regret more drinking sessions had I not been blessed with an awesome liver (I very rarely get hangovers and when I do they are just mild headaches for a while)

Sending texts and messages which was less charming than my usual self, but still charming...
discovering I got intimate with a girl who was less than attractive....
being dehydrated?

that's about it, I think.

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.

Oh apathy, you're such a wonderful thing, eh?

I've never actually gotten really drunk, though the closest thing I regret is tasting the shit... ugh, it all tasted like shit. But yeah, 6 shots of random stuff with very little influence. I can still remember the night and it wasn't even enough to give me that fabled confidence booster, or maybe that wasn't the problem.

 

[Burs]

Right. I am just after waking up from a night on the town. Logged on to face book and just realized that I have organised a meet up with an ex (that I didn't want) organised a drinking session today that now seems like hell and sent a message to the girl I do like that now makes me look like a fool. (I can't remember doing any of these)

While these are by far not the worst things I have ever regretted on a night out at the same time I wished I did not do them.

So escapists I am asking ye to share the biggest regrets you have ever had after a night out and who knows reading others might make you feel better about your own.

Apart from the newly planned drinking shess ( which i can empathise with bad guts myself. ugh ^.^)
The rest of it will be rather good for you You get to reconcile with your ex (might end up with a mate rather then an enemy), and you've told a girl how you feel about her, if you fell embarassed just look shy and embarrased and say the words "yea.. I.. um kinda do like you, and i was well... drunk last night and um" and at that last um if shes worth fretting over she'd have snogged you or arranged a date!

Good luck! ^.^

Aside from the usual hangover suffering, I don't really regret anything. The closest I've come to regretting a night out drinking was when I got a tattoo the day after, and since my vessels were still widened from alcohol consumption I bled like a ***** on that chair and some of the ink bled out along with the red juice, resulting in a rather pale tattoo.

 

[JaceArveduin]

The word has a lot of negative connotations. But not giving a flying fuck when you do something embarrassing sure is liberating.

It lets me act exactly how I want to act without the fear of others judgement. Providing it's not something that'll get me arrested.

And I've got to say, people really seem to like it when they meet someone who cares so little about other peoples opinions. I've made a lot of good friends through my antics. A lot of good friends I hope to keep my entire life.

Eh, I'm not the most social of people, so it doesn't make me many friends. There's also some things I won't due that other's would consider embarrassing just for the fact that I think it's stupid.

 

[Al-Bundy-da-G]

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.

But did you learn and take steps?

Yea step one is no Jagermiester or tequila. I have seen unspeakable thing because of those two bastards.

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...

...But I do that when sober...is it really that dangerous?

99% of my drunk and regret it stories are just about me puking my brains out in someone else's bathroom. I used to drunk dial and text people all the time, nothing too bad really, but then all my friends started to take my cell phone away when I start drinking so that problem is solved.

 

[Nalbis]

Punched my housemate on the bus, climbed a tree at the bus stop, stole a cleaning sign, attempted to whirl it round & hit everyone but just fell onto someone's lawn and passed out. I only regret drinking so much.

Sounds like an epic night.

True that.

As for me, jumping in some random guys garden with my cousin and stealing some garden gnomes. It was going fine until the guy who owned the property came speeding down the road in his car, pulled up next to us and jumped out with a cricket bat and started swinging away at us, my cousin then shouts: "MATE, MATE, ONE THING MATE JUST ONE THING" he paused and the guy stopped swinging for a second, my cousin then calmly says "I just wanted to tell you you're holding the bat the wrong way round" - the swinging started again and we legged it.

There's been a bunch of other stuff too but I think that'll do for now.

Depends who you are and who you're doing it to. Thankfully I come from the 'kick in the nads and run' school of thinking so there's very rarely been something that's been a big danger to me.

However:

skinny ass

is where the emphasis is needed.

i went to Leeds music festival in England and on one of the mornings that i woke up in my tent, after a night of heavy drinking, i had written on my hand " text me if your ok" alongside a number haha.I have pretty much no recolection of that night but found it hilarious in the morning

 

[ReinWeisserRitter]

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.

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!

Er, I think what they're getting at is that most people have a horror story to tell. I mean, that's the point of the topic, isn't it?

People who don't use any such substances inevitably don't have to worry about the consequences. And hell, those consequences could even be good; I'm not going to claim my rationality has always been a close pal of mine. But those are never the stories you hear, so one's probably making a wise decision to assume they won't be the exception, should it come down to that.

As for me, I've done things I regret intensely. Not "on a night out", since that's not my kind of thing, but otherwise, yeah. Incidentally, most of them are more depressing than funny, since I don't drink, and thus was always acting on a more or less clear head.

Pretty much getting pissed off my face at a friends house party. Not because I broke anything or violated anyone, but because I FELL ASLEEP FOR HALF OF IT! Plus I woke up the next morning, sick as a dog and ended up spending the rest of that day at my friend's while my girlfriend took care of me. Not entirely pleased with myself. But I'm more disappointed that I missed one of my other friends saying 'left ball, right ball, PEYNIS!' whilst pissed.

Most other times, I never regret things that happen at parties. I just come out with some pretty funny stories.

 

[Daverson]

Apparently I once tried (and, if my friends are to be believed, almost succeeded in) chatting up a woman more than twice my age, fortunately her daughter was there to put a stop to that.

...worse still, I didn't even realize I was doing it, I was just being polite! D=

I once had a... somewhat loud... discussion with a girl who might have been someone I had a crush on, that is to say, I knew I had a crush on her, I just wasn't sure it was her I was shouting at. It sort of looked like her, but people kind of look the same when you're drunk, you know?

Last friday I went out to celebrate coming back to plymouth after christmas vacation. I'm not sure how many jagerbombs I had that night, but it was in the region of "a lot".

Anyways, one of my friends started asking why I don't try and get a girlfriend. And thus, under the influence of alcohol, I told him a whole load of skeletons in the closet, and a large helping of stuff that was just plain insane. Luckily he seems to not have told anyone, not that I think my friends would take advantage of such dark secrets, but I still kinda wish I'd kept my mouth shut.

Basically this. However replace "celebrate coming back to plymouth after christmas vacation" with "work's night out", and "one of my friends" with "my (female) boss".

That was a good night.

 

[Grey_Focks]

Probably the worst is me receiving oral from a lady (whom I normally wouldn't be interested in, she's reeeeaaaaally not my type) in front of my boss and almost all of my co-workers, along with a few strangers. Must say, if I wasn't hammered beyond belief (it was my birthday, and for what it's worth, it was the aforementioned co-workers who were forcing drinks down my gullet all night), I likely would've passed out from the sheer awkwardness of it all.

And I've probably already said too much.

Aside from having sex with a friend at 2010>2011 NYE and her breaking my back from having sex on a concrete floor, nothing yet.
