Yeah, you would think getting sober would prevent this sort of thing from happening.
The real mistake was trying to walk on one sandal (which didn't have that much of a heel), and a paddock boot (which I wore for the motorcycle ride) on the other. I was too damn lazy to wrestle the other boot and sock off so I could try them on the right way. Even so, I stood once more on the sandal to test what went wrong, and they were simply WAY too "tippy"--I have to be very careful about what shoes I buy. At least I have given up gum-chewing while trying to walk.
