Black out DRUNK. EMBARRASSMENT

GabrielleZelda

Hey everyone.

So I celebrated my 21st birthday over the weekend and I am ashamed to say that I really don't remember much of it.

From what I was told....
There were strippers, lapdances, broken high heels, too many shots, upchucking, flashing my undies to the club (WHAT!??), having friends pull up my strapless dress constantly because I was near-flashing everyone (It's too big now, thanks to MFP!), countless drinks given to me and finally, two cabbies refused to let me in because I was too drunk. (The 3rd one took my friend and I back to her place, where I blacked out on her brother's bed).

Yeah.....

I don't remember any of this, to be honest.

SO, should I continue to be embarrassed, or just get over it?

I've NEVER gotten black out drunk before and I am veeeery afraid and humiliated that my entire group of friends saw me in that state.

SHOULD I FEEL THIS?::noway: :blushing:
OR THIS?::laugh:

ALSO, tell me your drunk stories!

Just about everyone has had one of those moments. :P

My last one was few years ago in Korea. We had a kegger party after our Operation Readiness Inspection and got damn near perfect on it which is a big deal. We floated a few kegs through the night. I lost myself around 1130 that night and I woke up the next afternoon in a strange bed. :P

Apparently Rockband, beer pong and strip poker where all involved at some point.

Bottom line is you had fun. Keep it as memory and move on. Life is short so have fun while you can.

If you didn't black out, you didn't really have a 21st birthday. Mine was epic, and ended with pics of me passed out on the toilet. Didn't remember anything, but I know it was a hell of a night.

FuneralDiner

Been there, done that!

Embarrassing at first, but got over it. You'll get over it too! Sounded like you had a great night.

clydethecat

sounds like an awesome night. for my 21st i remember getting to the bar, having a few shots, and then it goes black until about 2am where i was wrestling with my friend in a mud puddle. i picked her up and body slammed her into the puddle, she got up and tackled me to the ground, shoved my head in the puddle and yelled "your heads in a puddle and you like it!"

some how i got home and into bed. woke up the next morning in all my muddy clothes,. epic.

GabrielleZelda

Ha-ha! These stories are priceless!

Glad to know I'm not the only one who went waaaaaaaaay over board.

"If you didn't black out, you didn't have a 21st bday"
HA. This. That will be my excuse.

don't make a habit of drinking THAT much but everyone does it once or twice. The only thing i'd suggest is maybe not return to that particular club anytime soon, go to the 'other' place lol.

ok now for my blackout drunk story: my fiance and i drove from our home to washington state to see NIN at the Sasquatch festival. 17 hour drive, that included going over international border, getting a speeding ticket, and nearly running out of gas in some backwood smallville-looking place. Longest day, ever. Didn't help we'd brought along a friend to help offset costs who slept in the back the whole time while he phone was constantly ringing like 2 inches from her ear. That phone nearly got thrown out of the car. Anyhow, once we had FINALLY GOT THERE and got camp set up we sat back and both started drinking MGD like water. We get tipsy and start wandering around the rows and rows of campsites. we wound up drinking with a dude in a Sasquatch outfit named habib or something, and started on the hard liquor. One of the last things i remember is the girl we'd brought to the music festival saying how she wouldn't come back to the campsite that night cause there were two boys into her. and when she pointed them out it was two boys kissing in a truck. I laughed. Then i woke up the next morning and literally crawled out of the tent and laid in the sun sucking back water trying to remember what had happened. the inside of the tent had the remains of an unknown amount of broken condoms (they'd got hot in the car and all broke) and our friend snoring in her sleeping bag alone. I was missing my camera. I found it on the tailgate of where the boys were making out the night before. Over the next week my fiance and i have been able to piece together that we had clove cigarettes with the campsite next to us where i hugged this girl a lot and we were talking about how awesome our generation could be if we came together with love and awesomeness. we never really did get it going once we got back to the tent, all the condoms were overheated and faulty, but we were loud, very loud, and totally forgot that we had a 3rd person in the tent (she claimed to sleep through it). I woke up curled around my fiance's ankles like a cat in the morning wearing nothing but a sarong i bought in hawaii. What a way to start off a music festival!!

edited to add: i would've been more self-conscious if we weren't at a 3 day music festival in another country. Lots of strange things happened there. One morning we found a guy passed out on an air mattress with a pineapple, a bottle of aspirin and a bottle of water 40 feet from the porta potties.

If that sort of thing is a regular occurrance then you shld be embarrassed. If it was a one time thing just laugh about it. It will make for good memories (what you can remember and what your friends will fill in) in future years.

When I was in college I lived in the dorms. My roommate, a friend, and I all got plastered. We decided to go for a walk to sober up. I got tired and headed back to the dorm. The next morning I woke up in the bushes in front of my dorm. I have no idea how I got there. I remember getting to the building then realizing my roommate had the key so I sat down to wait for her. I must have fallen off the steps into the bushes. Naturally, as I got up with bits of dirt and twigs in my hair a guy I liked was walking up the steps. He looked at me like this --> :huh: There wasn't anything I could do to save my dignity so I just said "Morning." and went inside. He laughed and commented that I must have had quite a night. I said "I don't know. I'll probably find out later though." :laugh: I was mortified at the time. now I find it hilarious.

Sad thing is apparently some of the craziest moments of my life have been in the drunk to blacked out state. This includes things from awesome concerts to crazy nights in Korea. Some years ago, I finally hooked up with a crush I've had for years but in a blacked out state. Unfortunately, I do not remember it and it was a one time deal so I have yet to be able to relive one of the few things I wish I had been completely conscious for.

I swear I'd give up alcohol if I didn't have such a great relationship with it. :P

Well, except tequila. Tequila always gets me into trouble.

Bobby_Clerici

Once on your 21st birthday, forget it.
Laugh it off.
If it happens ever again, you're an alcoholic and should quit drinking forever.

chocolateandvodka

Be graciously embarrassed, apologize to those whose nights you circumvented because they were obligated to care for you.

and then laugh your *kitten* off and consider it exactly what it is: kind of a rite of passage into adulthood.

Gharley64

Hell, I once woke up with my pants down in a dog house....taught me control real fast.

Jani2416

Oh God, I've had a couple of those and so have my friends....laugh about it and move on. I'm turning 40 next year and going to vegas for it, enough said.

Happy 21st sweetie!

thebaconbeast

Laugh it off , it's going to happen many more times.

peles_fire

Personally, if it were me, I'd wait until they posted the Youtube videos or photos on Facebook before I was embarrassed. At least you can say you partied like a rock star on your 21st - consider the fact you survived your wild night as a kind of rite of passage...

megsi474

If you don't have some apologies to make after your 21st, you did it wrong. A dozen years later and I still tell the tale of my 21st by starting out with, "You think THAT'S bad...?"

EmmaM2211

Every weekend :-) at parties with my friends the standard conversation is "Emma Stories" when gossip runs dry hahaha

Dont worry, just laugh along and they'll get bored, if you get embarrased or look like you're bothered they'll find it funnier - TRUST ME!! hahaha

Oh and Happy 21st! :drinker:

mermx

Get over it for sure!

This is coming from someone that is 52 lol!

My worst moment was when I worked at a hospital I was a psycholigist just starting and went to a doctors and nurses `party` I ended up being put in a taxi and the driver had to carry me into the house cos my drink had been spiked. I was ill for 4 days with all sorts of hallucinations and stuff!!!

Don`t worry about it but watch your drinks next time lol!

If you didn't black out, you didn't really have a 21st birthday. Mine was epic, and ended with pics of me passed out on the toilet. Didn't remember anything, but I know it was a hell of a night.

was this just the other nite? i recall you saying you couldn't remember.... :drinker:

meshashesha2012

yikes. i've never drunk that much that i've blacked out and trust me i played rugby where every day (except the day before a game) was about kicking a keg or 2, boat races and shots.
in any case, it was your 21st. hopefully now you know your limits and wont have a repeat..

oh and the general rule is what crazy things happen during a crunk night is never ever discussed with your friends.

tadpole242

enjoy and be proud, you're a long time dead or in a 6x6 office cubical. if you don't live it up now, when are you ever going to get the chance again. I've so many tales to tell if only I could remember them.

itgeekwoman

It was your first, probably not your last! Just remember what the next day feels like and your embarrassment, and that will help you to not do it more often.

Good luck.. drink lots of water

Heather_Rider

been there, done that, got the stain on the t-shirt.

Looking back, it will be something fun for you & your friends to remember! Just make sure if you EVER drink even close to that much again.. you are always with someone you trust. You have to be careful of the creepers who like to put **** in your drinks, ect...

Today, lots of veggies with vitamin B & some extra potassium! Alcohol strips the body of these vitamins!

Feel better!

markymarrkk

Black out on your 21st Bday ..... You're doing it right !!! Sounds awesome! don't be embarrassed, your friends prolly think it's awesome too..

I've had a few such stories. My favorite ones are where I wake up and feel like I teleported directly from the Party/club to some random couch or bed. First thing is *Find my damn phone! look through pictures, *Boom! OmG who took these, who is this person, where was I, how the fcck did I get up there ... ah good times.

I don't know what you're talking about ... you were not that bad! On that note, do you want your panties back??

MizSaz

It was your 21st birthday- you get the free pass. Now, if this was happening every single time you drank, you'd have an issue.

Apologize to anyone that deserves it and move along. It's not the end of the world. Piece of advice though, if you are new to drinking, take it slow. It take a little time for the effects of a drink to become noticeable to you. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

backwoodsbama

I don't know what you're talking about ... you were not that bad! On that note, do you want your panties back??

And there's the creepiness.....

I joke, I joke....

kittyhasclaws

I was pregnant on my 21st birthday. I didn't actually know as a fact, but my body sent the signal to my brain that drinking would not be fun. Strange how that works.

I'm not a big drinker (I think I've been drunk twice, and both were at home with just me and my husband), but I did chaperone a Marine Corps "wet down". There was a lot of booze, drinking games, smashing of expensive phones and vomiting going on. One of the wives passed out in the bathroom with her pants down around her ankles. Yeah...

It's no big deal, though. Most people don't hold back on their 21st birthday, so they all do stupid things that make them blush when they find out what happened.

A late 21st birthday celebration for me years ago, first thing my friend did was take my keys because he didn't want me driving home (which I'm still thankful for). He also forewarned me that I was going to get absolutely hammered. I ended up, according to him, doing approximately 20-30 shots that night (within the first couple of hours I was there) and he told me about how I was yelling at Kramer from Seinfeld. I was told I spent the majority of the night hugging the porcelain throne and I needed help getting to bed and being laid on my side. I woke up with an awful hangover and I remember being asked if I ever got sick. I told him no, and his response was "I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE HOLD ALCOHOL LIKE THAT!". I was hungover for about 2-3 days after that (yes, it was that bad and I probably should've went to the hospital for alcohol poisoning), but I NEVER drank like that again! I hated that feeling.
If it was your 21st birthday, it was perfectly legit, I wouldn't worry about it.

I've been sober for two years now but I'm not those holier than thou reformed alcoholics lol:
I was at the bar with my ex husband and apparently I got so drunk I spilled a drink on a girl he was trying to hook up with. My ex and I were divorced already but we were each others wingman kinda. I also tried to "sell" him to a group of girls for a drink or four, I walked/stumbled out cackling mad laughter into a group of cops I knew and started dancing in front of their patrol cars. That was 5 years ago and I still can't live that one down:laugh:

Notorious_T

I like to follow the "if I don't remember it, it didn't happen" rule...bahhahaaa glad you had a great night
