I am very fortunate to not have killed someone by accident, or killed myself. The amount of property damage and damage to others that I did while drinking....well, there is nothing funny about any of it.

On the urinating in public subject I was kinda country raised and it wasn't an issue growing up, so I don't have qualms about it that many do nowadays. But guilty as charged many times, but usually I had the sense to get behind a bush or something like that so I wasn't visable in the act. Though an observant police officer could probably put two and two together to figure out why the stumbling home guy is stumbling behind the bushes next to the wall of a bank at 0200 in the morning.

Sadly enough, I tried to reflect on "funny" things I did, and came up with only scary, dangerous, tragic, and humiliating events. Maybe it is in part because my attitude has changed, or because much of my memory of my earlier drinking days (when there was still some control) is gone to the wind.
Some events that might seem funny to others:
Hanging off the side of a cruise ship at 3am to show off to some Brazilians, suspended only by my two bare feet behind a guard rail. When security saw it on camera and came running out to pull me up, my left foot (Metatarsal) shattered in the process and I was on crutches the remaining 2 nights, and following month.
One winter I stayed and worked in Florida. I found myself repeatedly falling off of a bicycle at 7am, in front of morning rush traffic. I eventually landed on my face causing major road rash, and broke a bone in my right hand. At one point, I hit the ground so hard, I stayed down a good 5 minutes, listening to the cars rush past me, but stubbornly kept getting on the fail bike. I told the guys at work that I'd been in a fight.
Stumbling and falling down the aisle past probably 5 rows of seats on an airplane on my way to the restroom. Would have been allot more comforting had anyone laughed...

On the note of singing, I used to drink and play Rock Band a lot....and I thought I was the greatest. Lol. Until my siblings uploaded videos to facebook of me being a total ass!
EDIT: yes to the person two posts up, this isn't to praise drunk behavior, it is just to remind ourselves why it is important to stay sober, so we don't do these ridiculous things ever again!

Holy cow how could I forget this one! Drinking every night during the same week that I was on motrin, vicodine and antibiotics because of the growing abcess I had in my knee. Guess what it didn't get better ended up going to the emergency room to have it cut out.
Mark that one down under completely ********.

We've all done it. But now that we know better theres no need to feel ashamed. We were sick, some of us still are, but remembering these things will help us continue to be better people.

One thing I learned is to stay off of Facebook when you were drinking. It's worse than drinking and dialing. I think anyone on there at !:00 am has had one too many and you really can't take back what you may say there.

I am not going to reiterate any of my embarrassing moments as I would kindly like to forget them but a college room mate of mine did something pretty bad and I am sure it happens all the time. Three of us shared a town house, these were all in rows and looked identical. Anyway, he came home plastered in a cab (willing to bet a million dollars I was passed out from drinking my own self silly that night, alone).
When he got out of the cab he went up to the wrong house and tried to get his key in the door, over and over again. To the point that he was sitting on the concrete porch trying to still get the key in the door (probably 3am).
He then passed out on the persons porch, woke up when the sun came up and came home. Well, around noon I answer the door and an old lady says "The tall gentlemen that lives here forgot his lighter on my porch".
Uhhh OK...I took it and shut the door, he told me what happened later. I thought that guy wasn't a drinker at all until I heard that. Another time I was helping him fix something on his computer in his room and saw a half empty 40 oz of liquor beside his bed and his hands were shaking so bad he couldn't even line the screwdriver up or even hold it and I did it for him. He had hidden it pretty good until I saw those things....I guess I hid it even better.
Another buddy of mine was out in Calgary years ago visiting a friend. He walked out of the bar and went left instead of right trying to find the house. He said it was -50 and just brutal, he walked up to some strangers house and just walked in the door. The owner called the cops (obviously) and they took him to the drunk tank. He said the cops told him he did the right thing for survival but probably should have knocked LOL.
Another buddy passed out at a party years ago, some people he didn't know drove him home and carried him onto the porch, layed him down on a love seat and left him there..problem was, it wasn't his parents house, that one was over 18 years ago but I believe he ended up in the drunk tank too.

The 1st time I ever drank, I ended up in the hospital with alcohol poisoning + almost died.
The STUPIDEST thing I’ve ever done is to continue to drink for another 19 years after that.

I have deleted my fair share of facebook posts the next morning. Maybe that is why you can't delete posts here? Force people to have to see their drunk/high posts and peoples reaction to them, even if there aren't that many.
