Stupid/Funny Things Done While Drunk

David Herbert · 4th March 2004, 05:46 PM

Following from the hangover cure thread, I would like to hear some good drinking stories. In gentlemanly fashion, I will go first.
Back in the summer of '96 I dragged my friend Harley up to Halifax, Nova Scotia to visit my old friend Art. We first spent some time on Cape Breton, hanging out with my family, checking out the eagles and the whales, listening to great music (Buddy McMaster and Ashley MacIsaac both on that trip!). Then we headed to Halifax.
My friend Art is a scholar, a former soldier, a poet, and not least one hell of a drinker. He was my next door neighbour growing up, and I am pleased with how he turned out. He and Hartley, a painter friend of mine from South Carolina, had never met, but I felt they would get along well.
I should tell you a little about Halifax. It's a port town on the Atlantic, and as such it's filled with sailors... and bars. Halifax also has four universities, and as such it's filled with beautiful young women... and bars. Bars, tons of them, two at least on every block.
The three of us, accompanied by a variety of friends, tried our best to drink in all of them.
One night after the bars shut we continued drinking on at my friend Jane's 14th floor apartment. Jane had gone to sleep, so we were confined to the balcony. This became a bit of an issue after a couple of beers had been drunk of course, because of our full bladders. The bathroom was inside and we couldn't get to it with out waking Jane, and the railing of the balcony was too high to pee over...
One of us observed that standing on the cooler would add the height needed to clear the railing. To steady the cooler, and prevent a certainly fatal plunge, one of us would brace the cooler with a firm foot. This solution allowed to freely and happily pee off the fourteenth floor balcony without waking our sleeping friend.
Staring down 150 feet while taking a piss is an exhilarating experience. For my part, I tended to look straight ahead and concentrate on my balance. Hartley, apparently, didn't mind staring down the side of the stark white building, because he was soon asking what the little metal shed at the foot of the building was for. After he was done, and it was safe to look, Art and I leaned forward to get a look at the shack in question. It was right below us in the parking lot, maybe 8 feet by 8 feet.
It's where the parking lot security guy sits, Art told us. Well, was he still there we wanted to know, at three in the morning? Art didn't know. Were we being too loud, could he hear us? We talked about shouting down at him, but Art said it was too far and we would wake the neighbours. At that point somebody said, ok, maybe this will work, and dropped a beer bottle over the side of the balcony.
The bottle went whistling and spinning down the side of the building. It took a good, long time to fall the 150 feet, and when it hit the little metal shack the bottle exploded with what sounded to us like the report of an artillery shell. We crouched by the railing and peered over, waiting to see if a confused security guy would emerge from the little shack. Seconds passed, a minute, nothing. The noise had sounded loud to us but perhaps the security guy was asleep, we reasoned. He shouldn't be sleeping on the job, we decided. We all grabbed a bottle this time and co-ordinated to let them go on the count of three. One, two, three, and a volley of plummeting beer bottles was let loose towards the metal shack. The bottles all struck the shack within a second of each other, resulting in an impact percussion that no one could have slept through. I mean anyone in the shack would have thought a war had started.
We had determined that no one was in the shack, but we were not even close to being out of beer bottles and so we kept up our assault on the little metal shack until for another fifteen minutes until we grew bored.
Fortunately no one was woken by our antics.

Went round to my mate's(luke) house with some friends on a friday night. Went out and got very drunk. We all went back to lukes house and got more drunk. Went to go to bed and kicked something very hard. Thought nothing of it and went to sleep. Got up early in the morning and saw my big toe had two purple stripe bruises on it. Had more sleep and woke later in a bit of pain with my big toe purple and my foot swollen. Went back home at 10.30 in the morning. Luke came round at 12 and we started drinking, carrying on till 5 the following morning. I was limping a bit but didn't think much of my toe. Didn't care too much and the alcohol was helping a lot! Went to the hospital and found out I've broken my toe, need to rest and take some pain killers.

A week or so later myself and a few friends including luke went out on a Monday night. We got incredibly drunk and on the way home Luke decided to slide down the middle section of the escalator! He went skidding down on his arse sideways and went hurtling in to a sign at the bottom of the slide and came bouncing off. Took him to the hospital next day, he'd broken his arm. He's now trying to learn using the mouse with his other hand!!!!!

Still, you're only young once!

A friend of mine in college was dangerously wasted and we dropped by his girlfriend's Sorority house, and out of nowhere, he ate all their fish out of the aquarium. I wanted that house to just fall on me and end it all right there.

Another (drunk) friend walked through a drive-through at Hardees and spent the remainder of the money he had on a coke. He got sick and figured he needed a ride home.
I was walking with him and didn't have a penny on me so the idiot goes back up to the drive-through window and tried to sell what was left of his drink back to the Hardees store to get money to call for a ride.

I think the stupidest thing was this:
We were 16 years old and were going to see an Aerosmith / Cinderella concert in Birmingham. I didn't care anything about drinking but I drove my two friends down and they had a case of beer in a cooler on ice and put it in the trunk.
I had just assumed that we were gonna check in and they would sneak the beer up to the room later.
I go up to the counter and check-in (Our parents had OK'd minors checking in with the hotel beforehand).
Meanwhile here comes the other two people that rode with me along with the cooler full of beer into the lobby. I could hear the ice slushing around and anyone could hear the cans banging against the edges of the cooler.
They walked up right beside me at the check-in counter and set the cooler on the ground just like it was nothing.
We were terribly lucky that nobody wanted to look in the cooler or else we'd all have gotten in BIG trouble.

Give Joey & Deedee Ramone my card in case they "ever needed a good producer", (when I was only a studio intern)

Try some BAD pick up lines on Lydia Lunch (ouch!)

quasimodonyc · 5th March 2004, 09:12 PM

Uhh, let's see.

Ruined my brother's wedding with a horrible toast, picked a fight with a skinhead, told off the tour manager of the much bigger band that we were on tour with (tour sucked after that!), lost my shoes in the East Village, but not all on the same night!!!

Guess I've mellowed a bit

imagineaudio · 7th March 2007, 08:26 AM

I woke up one morning with no car in the driveway. Walked to the street, looked left, no car. Looked right, no car. Went back inside and checked my phone, no odd calls in the call history.

So I figured someone must have dWeriven me home. Waited a few hours to see if i made arrangements for someone to take me to my car. No Luck. I called the people I was with, no help.

Well, now I'm out of cigs so I walk to the store and about a mile down the road, there it is, neatly parked on the side of the road so I jump inside and attempt to start 'er up. Out of gas. So basically I drove, ran out of gas and walked a mile to my house and don't remember any of it. DUDE, Where's my car...?

Kris · 7th March 2007, 03:21 PM

I was hammered in a casino on the Jamcruise...

I heard a ton of coin pouring out of a machine right behind me so I turned around to find my buddy Jess had just hit the jackpot.

I was apparently so excited for him that my leg inadvertantly flew out and kicked him square in the balls.

His reaction was to swing his arm back to clock me in the face, but as he reared back, the momentum dropped him to the floor as his strength was sapped from the horrible ball crushing he had just received.

Thank God we're great friends, because I might not have survived the night otherwise. To this day, I wonder when I might get the big payback...

Oh yeah, it was his birthday too...

Excellent!

That's what freinds are for!

Funny things seem to happen to me and my regular drinking partners when we go out.

Picture the scene. I'm in the gents emptying my bladder at the urinal. A pretty girl walks in and stares at me... After what seems like a minute she walks right up to me and looks me squarely in the face and asks: "Is this the men's room?"

I look down to make sure... then look across at the rows of urinals mounted along the wall. "Judging by the evidence I would have to say yes."

I mean, this kind of thing never happens when your sober...

There was also that time when I managed to imprison myself in a phone-box for twenty minutes... But that's another story altogether.

zaczac · 18th March 2007, 12:41 PM

I only ever binge on chocolate and musical paraphanalia, but feel inclined to mention a story an old teacher told me.

I asked him what happened to his old upright bass in the corner. Being too drunk to drive home, he decided to walk home from a gig... dragging the bass along as he went.

used to play quite well.

GoJiRa 3000 · 19th March 2007, 06:10 AM

well ahem this happened some time ago and wasnt that funny when it did..but today i always chuckle a little when i think back on it..

day starts with a good row ..actually my first in that season, sun is shining and im thinking of the many summer days to come and alot good rowing to be done (which where postponed 3 months as you will soon find out) well on my way back from the rowing club i get this call from some friends of mine invitng me over for dinner, hungry after a good row i take my bike straight to their flat..2-hours pass all of a sudden we sit there drinkin tequilas, rum and what not..im in a ffing good mood and when somebody mentions this party somewhere else we all decide to go there and ball..on the way to the party drunk as i am i fall really really bad on my bike and i feel this mad crunch on my shoulder it ffin hurts like mad dogs howlin..everybodys kinda worried but f me if thats gonna stop me from having a good time!

its a good party and i have fun although i have this strange feeling of something not fitting right on my right shoulder..you know something feels wrong, misplaced..at this moment im drunk as a sailor been kept a way from rum in ten years..and thats why i also had to..i just had to loose my keys..when the partys over i look everywhere but ofcourse i cant find them DANG! well wait aminit this girl ive been dating the last couple of days lives near by..as much as alcohol reduce the feeling of agonysing pain as much stupid ideas you get..the girl doesnt answer her phone so i decide TO CLIMB ON UP HER ROOFTOP where i know she has a window facing out the roof..my stupid plan is to climb up there knock on her window and get in sleep it out and so on..the roof is 3 levels high but on the roof is a fence with barbed wire so drunk and stupid idiots like me dont climb on to it ..well they where wrong and on my way down from the fence i feel this agonising yank from my shoulder and it pains like hell..when i get to her window i realise thats shes NOT THERE aargghh..the alcohol weirs out, hangovers start to kick in and its impossible for me to even consider trying to climb over the fence and down whith my shoulder in so much pain..im simply to disabilitated..fuk im trapped on the rooftop, the girls not there, im in pain and i feel like the biggest idiot of all time (wich is true)..around 4 hours pass (it even started to rain haha ffs) till she sticks her head out the window lookin at me like this

..in my choked and weak voicee i try to explain to her what happended..well she obviously think that the whole situation is a bit too freaky and kindly asks me to "just leave" godamn!! as i get the honour to walk thru her apartment for the last time im at the brink of a big crying breakdown, but its time for me to

standing on the street again still with a god awfull pain in my shoulder, without keys and now without my
promising bird ..i call my friend so i can let my heart out and whiiiine..fortunatly he`s still up doing some afterpartying, gets in a cab and pics me up and rushes me to the hospital..after 3 hours of waiting we finally get in to the examination room, where the nurse tells us to wait a bit, my friend is still drunk so he roams around a bit find some hospital alcohol (90%) with which he starts to make drinks of only with water!! I tell him to please STOP it GIDIMIT as i really want to get examined in wich he replies with stealing a bottle put it in to my dj bag
sayin "heres a souvenir maynn!!" haha i still got it..after some x-rays they show me that my collerbone has been broken in 2 places after my fall on my bike..wonder why it hurt so much..havin sobered up a bit we decide to take a cab and get something to eat..leaving the cab i realise i dropped my phone in the cab..fortunatly my friend still has the bill and i see my phone again after 20 min..at this point im gettin seriously

at myself..
while we eat we talk things over about the hole mess and i get in touch with the people who held the party and luckily they found my keys so i go there get my keys and as grand finale of having a really really bad day..i drop my VISA on the way home....so thats collerbone, keys, girl, phone, visa within 24 hours..well i got 4 of the things back in time and god help me im still alive..haha

drmmrboy · 19th March 2007, 06:24 AM

I'm trying to think of something I've done when I was drunk that wasn't stupid.

xmostynx · 19th March 2007, 02:01 PM

i have done alot of stupid things when i was drunk...

i don't even drink anymore because of them...
but to list a few...they go something like this..

peeing on various buildings, cars, off overpasses..you name it i've pissed on it drunk.
we did drive by eggin's one time. I got the city bus!

we threw oranges at cars from our balcony

I once woke up next to this girl twice my size and freaked out and snuck out her window when she got up to go smoke? haha

I've told countless people they are way cooler than they really are when drunk..
Ran up and down cars parked along the street.

Told a cop guns where for puss's.

showed way to many people my wang...the list can go on..

good times tho- sure there are gonna be many more!

LoopQuantum · 19th March 2007, 04:23 PM

I'm usually a responsible drinker, and I've not done anything silly in nearly a decade, I'd wager, but being a musician... you see some great things.

1. I was working at a GWAR show about 5 years ago (yep....GWAR.). Saw some dude on the floor pass out. He apparently got hit pretty hard, too. As the paramedics were dragging him out.....I noticed that both of his hands were locked in the devil horns....and he was out cold....awesome.

2. I was in Nashville (Goodlettsville Holiday Inn)... Noticed some noise late (about 2 AM), and looked outside to see some dude running around the building in his boxers, holding one of the big "bullet" style trashcans extended out from his midsection yelling, " I'm gonn %^&* everybody with my Trashcan %^&*. wow.

3. Saw a dude at a party throw up on the floor next to the keg, refill his beer, and walk off happy as a clam.

There's many more. Many.

treymonfauntre · 19th March 2007, 04:39 PM

a night of blatantly irresponsible drinking (matty ice of all things) landed me in the emergency room with a hyperextended knee. tore all of my ligaments. i still have to wear a little leg brace because the nerves haven't regrown all the way and i can't lift my foot, and its coming up on the 3 year anniversary.

sguali · 20th March 2007, 10:59 AM

Hmm...Well...

Get lost in Estonia, and passout just before the ship back to finland was leaving. And of course i have lost the ticket so i couldn't returnit.

Well, i have my guitar with me, and i was broke as can be.

STREET PLAYING!

that did work like few hours but then i star having a hang over, so i sold my guitar to one of the bypasser and get back to finland ;DD

Man that was one hell of a summer...

Oh, there was plenty more that occurred that night. Let us not forget the altercation with the cab driver I had to mediate, the destroyed room, people sleeping out in the field instead of their rooms, streaking (given), the light-post, suspicions of infidelity, Carl, Mormons, sushi, anger at the Arby's... Oh, the list goes on...

There you are!!!! :)

Sack of Krystal Burgers, Pool Party, Jager, RedRum and Broken Plumbing fixtures...... ahh that was one crazy night.

Good to see you here. Hard to believe that many years have gone by.

AlexLakis · 20th March 2007, 02:15 PM

...Decided to track and mix records for a living.

RadioBox · 20th March 2007, 05:28 PM

got kicked out of a hotel in Seattle after walking up and down the halls wearing nothing but locs and a sock hat with my cack and balls tucked between my legs, asking everyone if they thought I was sexy.

Luckily, I was allowed to get dressed before leaving.

Then I trashed the flower bed outside the front door.

Good times.......to be 19 again....

**Jules** · 20th March 2007, 05:54 PM

Er.. spent a few hours of the night crashed out in the elevator of the Ramada Inn, Reading, UK on the last night of the Reading rock festival. Much to the amusement apparently of almost the entire UK music industry who were using my 'bed' to get up to their rooms...

I actually had 'floor space' pre arranged with friends with a room but I was being so obnoxious that they opted 'tee hee' to step over me and leave me in the elevator...

I managed to cap that achievement after waking up by somehow getting onto an out of service train a Reading station, to take a nap on (hey it might end up back in London right?) and got discovered, frogmarched out of the train station and told never come back. (I had to wait for the night shift to clear off before trying to use the station again...

)

That was a very solid 2 day hangover

rock & roll

lucidproduction · 20th March 2007, 07:21 PM

Trying to ask out Vivian Trimble of Luscious Jackson [who happened to be a friend of a friend] when I was too drunk to actually articulate words... Then again that was 10 years ago & there's been at least one stupid drunken thing a week since then.

xmostynx · 20th March 2007, 07:25 PM

these stories are great

lucidproduction · 20th March 2007, 07:46 PM

Oh... how could I forget. It only happened four months ago.

By far the stupidest thing done while drunk - taking on a cab and losing, resulting 7 broken bones in my face and facial reconstructive surgery. :(

lucidproduction · 20th March 2007, 08:25 PM

Mine was a bit different than getting hit. I hailed the guy. He stopped. I told him my friends were going from Williamsburg to Astoria. He said no. I argued that it was illegal for him to say no. [Meanwhile, I'm physically holding on to the cab.] He floors the gas & drags me for 10 feet at which point I get thrown off and left unconscious in the middle of the intersection of Grand and Roebling. He runs. I wake up in an ambulance.

The body is indeed resilient. Actually, If I hadn't have been drunk I probably would have broken at least my wrist as well.

Unfortunately, the cops never caught the guy. Sh*t that lawsuit would have paid off my studio debt and then some.

Jbassist · 22nd March 2007, 10:42 AM

Oh god i have SOOOO many...

Showing a whole club full of girls my biceps as a way of picking them up (even worked for some

ehe) - Wodka.

Rotating our hair in a big ass hip hop club.. didn't take long for we got kicked out. -Wodka&beer.

Not remembering i had a pack of yoghurt in my backpack and kicking my bandmembers ass, so while were wrestling all of a sudden a big white flash of yoghurt covers the streets and parts of us, and leaving my whole bag of stuff covered in yoghurt.. that bag still smells horrible.. -Bee

ojay Gear nut Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: London Posts: 80	Went round to my mate's(luke) house with some friends on a friday night. Went out and got very drunk. We all went back to lukes house and got more drunk. Went to go to bed and kicked something very hard. Thought nothing of it and went to sleep. Got up early in the morning and saw my big toe had two purple stripe bruises on it. Had more sleep and woke later in a bit of pain with my big toe purple and my foot swollen. Went back home at 10.30 in the morning. Luke came round at 12 and we started drinking, carrying on till 5 the following morning. I was limping a bit but didn't think much of my toe. Didn't care too much and the alcohol was helping a lot! Went to the hospital and found out I've broken my toe, need to rest and take some pain killers. A week or so later myself and a few friends including luke went out on a Monday night. We got incredibly drunk and on the way home Luke decided to slide down the middle section of the escalator! He went skidding down on his arse sideways and went hurtling in to a sign at the bottom of the slide and came bouncing off. Took him to the hospital next day, he'd broken his arm. He's now trying to learn using the mouse with his other hand!!!!! Still, you're only young once!

Ruined my brother's wedding with a horrible toast, picked a fight with a skinhead, told off the tour manager of the much bigger band that we were on tour with (tour sucked after that!), lost my shoes in the East Village, but not all on the same night!!!

Went back inside and checked my phone, no odd calls in the call history. So I figured someone must have dWeriven me home. Waited a few hours to see if i made arrangements for someone to take me to my car. No Luck. I called the people I was with, no help. Well, now I'm out of cigs so I walk to the store and about a mile down the road, there it is, neatly parked on the side of the road so I jump inside and attempt to start 'er up. Out of gas. So basically I drove, ran out of gas and walked a mile to my house and don't remember any of it. DUDE, Where's my car...?

I asked him what happened to his old upright bass in the corner. Being too drunk to drive home, he decided to walk home from a gig... dragging the bass along as he went. used to play quite well.

I was working at a GWAR show about 5 years ago (yep....GWAR.). Saw some dude on the floor pass out. He apparently got hit pretty hard, too. As the paramedics were dragging him out.....I noticed that both of his hands were locked in the devil horns....and he was out cold....awesome. 2. I was in Nashville (Goodlettsville Holiday Inn)... Noticed some noise late (about 2 AM), and looked outside to see some dude running around the building in his boxers, holding one of the big "bullet" style trashcans extended out from his midsection yelling, " I'm gonn %^&* everybody with my Trashcan %^&*. wow. 3. Saw a dude at a party throw up on the floor next to the keg, refill his beer, and walk off happy as a clam. There's many more. Many.

Luckily, I was allowed to get dressed before leaving. Then I trashed the flower bed outside the front door. Good times.......to be 19 again....

Jules Gearslutz.com admin Join Date: Apr 2002 Location: London, UK Posts: 11,787	Er.. spent a few hours of the night crashed out in the elevator of the Ramada Inn, Reading, UK on the last night of the Reading rock festival. Much to the amusement apparently of almost the entire UK music industry who were using my 'bed' to get up to their rooms... I actually had 'floor space' pre arranged with friends with a room but I was being so obnoxious that they opted 'tee hee' to step over me and leave me in the elevator... I managed to cap that achievement after waking up by somehow getting onto an out of service train a Reading station, to take a nap on (hey it might end up back in London right?) and got discovered, frogmarched out of the train station and told never come back. (I had to wait for the night shift to clear off before trying to use the station again... ) That was a very solid 2 day hangover rock & roll __________________ Jules "PS.

Then again that was 10 years ago & there's been at least one stupid drunken thing a week since then.

lucidproduction Gear Head Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Brooklyn Posts: 53	Oh... how could I forget. It only happened four months ago. By far the stupidest thing done while drunk - taking on a cab and losing, resulting 7 broken bones in my face and facial reconstructive surgery. :(

lucidproduction Gear Head Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Brooklyn Posts: 53	Mine was a bit different than getting hit. I hailed the guy. He stopped. I told him my friends were going from Williamsburg to Astoria. He said no. I argued that it was illegal for him to say no. [Meanwhile, I'm physically holding on to the cab.] He floors the gas & drags me for 10 feet at which point I get thrown off and left unconscious in the middle of the intersection of Grand and Roebling. He runs. I wake up in an ambulance. The body is indeed resilient. Actually, If I hadn't have been drunk I probably would have broken at least my wrist as well. Unfortunately, the cops never caught the guy. Sh*t that lawsuit would have paid off my studio debt and then some.
