Being drunk is dangerous for me, as I have had blackout episodes and done things I regretted later. Today I know my limits and stick with them, but in my twenties I had some pretty wild episodes:
- When drunk, I tend to be loose-lipped and will tell anybody anything. I remember a man I was dating reciting back to me things I would never tell anyone. I asked him how he knew and he said I told him all of it while drunk.
- I apparently agreed to move to Las Vegas and start a new life with a man I met at a bar one night. When he called me the next day to start making arrangements, I didn't know what he was talking about.
- Another time, I apparently accepted a marriage proposal from a stranger when drunk. When the liquor wore off, I could not believe what I had done. Not only did I not know the first thing about him, it turns out his divorce was not even final yet.
- Got angry at an ex-boyfriend, stomped off, and went down to the lesbian bar down the street. I met a woman who had just had a fight with her girlfriend. She asked me to go away with her for the weekend to visit her family and I went! Ex-boyfriend was beyond furious.
Today, if I drink at all, it is only wine and my limit is two glasses. I am no longer willing to put myself and others in dangerous situations. I consider myself very lucky that I was not seriously hurt or worse.
A close friend's son was killed by a drunk driver and that hit very close to home.
