You wanted to go camping but fucked it up because you were drunk.
No, that sounds like camping to me.
Yeah, the first mistake everyone makes when camping is deciding to go camping.
Also pretty sure I didn't want to run over an orphanage and kill 37 children
How big are your feet? Holy shit.
It's not the size of the feet that count. It's how many orphans you kill.
Make every step count.
how small were the orphans?
When I was an alcoholic, I wanted to keep my best friend from ruining his marriage by having an affair, so I tried to murder him with a gun. Pretty sure I would've gone about it differently had I been sober.
There needs to be more context to this story.
We were working together in a different state; he kept talking about this girl we worked with; we got drunk at her place- some of us (me) drunker than others; he gave me a ride back to the house we were renting and then went back to the party; I was convinced he was gonna sleep with the girl, and was infuriated he'd do that to his lovely wife and their daughter; I got my pistol and was gonna shoot him when he got home; I was too drunk to chamber a round; our other roommate was there and wrestled the gun away from me.
It's an insane bit of logic. "In order to keep you from ruining your marriage, I'm going to kill you."
His wife ended up sleeping with her boss a few years later, too, so. 🤷♂️
I think in terms of thought process, we probably have all the context available…
"You think I'm going to just let you ruin your marriage? You're my best friend. I'll kill you you stupid bastard."
Men, don't settle for a best friend who won't threaten to kill you.
Also maybe make sure there's a second friend nearby at all times.
Gosh, that's... a lot.
"When I was an alcoholic" I hope that the "was" in your comment means that you're in a better place now. I also hope your best friend is still your friend and/or that he didn't end up ruining his life (or that he was able to rebuild a half decent life from the wreckage of his mistakes)
I finally read the entirety of your comment, as I had wrongly assumed you had just quoted me the whole time (might wanna check your markup btw)
But yes, I've been sober for 7 years now. We maintain a loose friendship, like stereotypical men do with one another; he did not sleep with the girl, but his wife did sleep with her boss a few years after this whole kerfuffle. Is that irony?
I'm in the Navy. If you can't do your job while drunk you can't do your job.
I'm European. If you can still do your job just drink more!
My dad was blown away when he had to go do work at auto plants overseas in Europe (prob germany?) and the breakroom vending machines had beer in them. I guess there was a 2 beer unofficial limit. This was like 3 decades ago... So maybe it's changed.
I was in a long term relationship with someone with a drinking problem. When a drunk person says something to you they fucking mean it. Their filter is weaker and, as I label it "they have the courage to say something that they were afraid to say sober." When you figure this out everything is easier to understand.
There's an old saying that the first thought in your head is what you're conditioned to think, and the second is what you actually think. Kind of an ego/id thing.
True to an extent but there's also a level of brain damage that can come with long term alcoholism (or extreme intoxication) where they lose the ability to form coherent thoughts while plastered and their drunk ramblings can be contradictory.
I regularly tell people I absolutely hate that I love them while drunk. It's how my brain makes sure I don't tell them to go fuck themselves.... I also tell everyone i like, that I love them though....
Alcohol makes you feel and act different way. Your statement is not correct
Definitely wanted to throw up on my shoes, just didn’t have the courage.
Definitely also want to throw up on your shoes, working up the courage now
Actually it's pretty comfortable. I worked in landscaping and whenever I'm on break, I'd sit in a wheelbarrow. It's cool and the shape fits your body pretty well.
If you’re shaped like SpongeBob?
Nah, you sit with your feet between the wheelbarrow handlers and it'll tilt toward with handlers acting as chair legs, so you're basically sitting in the chair. And I'm 6'2, it's really comfortable, you'd be surprised. And most wheelbarrows aren't square, they're like round or tapered at where your head rests.
or a slightly smaller wheelbarrow
In fitness circles they call it "Barrel Bod"

This is why I crash my car into a tree everytime I drive sober.
The alcohol just removes all filters. So yes, you wanted to sleep, but at normal times you'd be too embarassed to not sleep in your bed. With alcohol, it's sleepy time, you sleep and that wheelbarrow looks a lot more inviting than the floor.
when people say this you can instantly disregard any worth you may have thought they had.
If all drinking did was limit inhibition, but it also clouds your judgment and slows your reflexes. Some people cannot think things all the way through when intoxicated.
Got me, I did want to hug a toilet all night well the room was spinning.
