What are some of the DANGEROUS things you've done while Drunk?

Well as far as dangerous versus damaging, I did a ton of dangerous things. Drove from the time I was 16 until I was 42 drunk and not proud of it. Surfed 10 ft storm surf and surfed sharf infested waters in Mexico. Spent 3 or 4 evenings in the Tia Juana jail during my youth for fighting. Drove down Florence and Normandy in LA after dark to show a buddy where the LA riots occurred. Drove deep into Mexico past many Federale check points drunk as a skunk, and got into many bar/street fights in Mexico and the States. All of these things could have taken my life quite easily.

Now as far as the permanent damage, I got all of my front teeth knocked out going over the handle bars while riding a bike home from a beach bar in the dark. I have permenent damage to my ear drums and chest when an M-1000 explsive blew up in my face while lighting a short fuse drunk, I still have tinnitus (ringing in the ears) constantly for the last 13 years. I also still have imbedded sharpnel in my chest from the explosion I have scars from stitches over both eyes and under my chin from street fights. These are all constant reminders to me why I do not drink anymore. The ears and the teeth are still bothersome to this day.

My claim to fame was a fall down a full flight of steps, backwards. Landed on my head, fractured my skull & damn near killed myself. Woke up the next day in ICU on a ventilator with a neurosurgeon telling me that he had removed a large subdural hematoma

It stopped me from drinking for a while......
Eventually I restarted but didn't know why until I figured out it was an attempt to numb chronic depression. Well, that obviously didn't work!!

Just grateful to finally know & truly believe that I can never drink again

Wow you guys are LUCKY to be alive. I thought I was wild and crazy for climbing a chain link fence to swim in a closed pool. I am tame by your standards. The chain link fence did hurt my bottom though... hee hee...

I have to say WOW. I am amazed you are all still alive!

The most dangerous thing i did while drunk was step on my cats tail and she bit me.

I did get lots of bruises from walking into things in my house.

But thats all I got. Gosh I am boring

I do have to say though that Alcohol made me extremely nervous, majorly phobic and always full of anxiety so i was terrified to leave my house except to go to work most of the time.

Thank goodness that is not me anymore.

My most dangerous was pretty simple, and that was to keep drinking :eeks:

Bruises for me too, falling down. Luckily i havent had any broken bones. My mouth always got me in trouble too. My husband told me I can be very hard to get along with when drunk. I wish I could go back & change things but I can't so I will learn from my mistakes & vow to never let myself get so out of control ever again.

I could add some stories here but I won't. Not yet anyway.

I do so love everyone here, and this place is a big part of why I'm doing well.

But our stories are all amusing in a way, and scary, and I was just thinking about the difference between writing them out here, and reading them in the news with a whole different outcome. We all must have angels; we have all been a whisper away from some really bad juju.

I too have done some really stupid stuff, the worst was probably taking ambien while drinking. I thank God I am still alive. My most recent binge left me with a bunch of bruises and a scrape on my nose that I have no idea how I got.

I am 2 days into my most recent attempt to quit, reading these posts is a great motivator. Now I just can't wait to get past the shaky hands stage into the joy and happiness stage. Thanks everyone for sharing your stories.

Welcome panicprincess!:welcome:

I was just reminded of a story a girl told to me a very long time ago about what happened one night when she passed out drunk in the parking lot of a bar. It hailed that night and she woke up with bruises all over her body from hail. How weird is that, and now that I think about it, how fortunate was it that was all that happened to her???

Fireworks! I forgot about doing fireworks

Jumping off boats to swim in dark water

Swimming, water skiing and diving drunk
Down hill skiing drunk
Mouthing off to cops
Arm wrestling grown men in bars
Breaking pool sticks

Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

lots of crying and fighting just dangerously sad.... depressed. It is amazing how after a long period of time sober I got so aware of my safety but how when I was actively drinking I didn't care what I said or did. I never did anything too crazy at least I don't think I did. I do know that towards the end I was becoming a screaming, violent woman... which is not who I had planned on being... OH!!! Most dangerous is the BLACKOUTS.... What I was doing to my brain, personality and spirituality.

I used to fall in the shower all the time and wake up bruised from head to toe...of course with no recollection of what happened.

I think the worst for me was the evil demon monster I turned into while drunk, the things I would say to people! It was usually very mean and made no sense.

One night I also decided to take the dogs for a walk and I ended up stopping at a neighbors house for over an hour. I hadn't taken my cell phone with me, and when I got home my daughter was in a crying fit putting on her shoes...she was going to come looking for me. At 11pm on a school night, in the rain, and she was going to look for her drunk mom. The shame!!!
