Much to my horror, I have done the drunk e-mailing thing. A few years ago, my husband went alone to his 30th H.S. reunion in PA. I had no interest in going with him as I had done so previously and it quite sucked. Anyway, to keep me company that weekend, I had a bottle of Merlot which I had polished off in one evening while looking up Facebook pages of lost loves and/or crushes (Why? well high school reunion got me thinking of those days I guess). One guy in particular looked great after all these years so I (horror) looked his business up on his website and sent a stupidly personal e-mail propositioning him (I was laughing wildly as I typed it thinking it was actually amusing). OMG, the next day! I wondered if I had just imagined the whole stupid thing up. I didn’t. I did that. Read my sent e-mail and felt all the blood in my face drain to my feet. Sad thing is I did the same thing the very next night to the same guy. Sent a drunken follow-up message.

Horrors. AA is looking like a sensible choice to me right now.

lol…yep, I am horrible at drunk texting…its a regular thing…and I have drunk emailed before, however, I find, with gmail, there is a filter called “mail goggles”…that you can set for certain times on your email, that by math trivia (you choose the difficulty level)you can manage to send an email, or it tells you that you need water, and sleep, and prevents you from sending emails…I wish I had this on my cellphone!

If you find these sites that start the download of this virus, ping the site and look it up at a dns lookup site, then report it to the ISP’s so that they can get it shut down. These are the companies that should be taking responsibility. Usually they have these sites shut down

I attempted to add about 20 people to my Facebook friends list one night. I woke up the next morning to a slew of messages asking me who the hell I was.

My local friends and I have a tradition of calling my cousin and his friends in Denver when we’re drunk (and they do the same). It makes for many hilarious conversations, voicemail messages, and texts.

Drunk texting gets worse though, I have had drunk friends send texts on my phone before (I have a tendency to leave it lying around), including a text to one of my coworkers telling her how much I wanted her, blah, blah, etc. Work was very awkward for several weeks.

I am so happy to be in such stellar company. LOL. I had another unfortunate texting mishap two nights ago. I apparently told this guy I’m interested in that I’m a “loving and caring person and just cannot and will not change that about myself”. I’m sure he was like WTF is she talking about? LOL. The shame. The embarrassment. Still haven’t heard from him even though I apologized via text and vmail. LOL

Yes and ahhh…the drunk buying. I went to the mailbox one time to find that I am now (thanks to two bottles of Moet and a few vodka craberries) a platinum member of the united jewish ‘save the children’ foundation and have “adopted” and fed several children in impoverished countries. One, I was raised catholic so it’s nice to know in my most inebriated states that I feel we should not be hemmed in by religious beliefs. And 2..damnit I am a loving and caring person and I cannot change that about myself. Hehehehehehe

These stories are hilarious!

I’m editing a book project on Internet Dating on WEbook.com, a user-generated
book publisher. I read your blog and I thought you (or your readers!) might be interested in contributing. The purpose of the book is to create a non-fiction anthology about the good, the bad, and the just plain horrible about internet dating. So for any of you that have combined drinking with your internet dating account, it would be really wonderful if you checked out the project and joined in!

If you’re interested, please email writers@webook.com.

Best,
Tahra

A few for your enjoyment…

What started as a nice IM and bottle of wine ended up at vodka, and a {male}friend in my bed in the morning. Luckily, we apparently just passed out, but I wasn’t quite sure how he got there.

Someone I know is infamous for drunk dialing infomercials. She once tried to buy car repair paint, but had to ask the woman what color to buy because she didn’t have a car. She has also bought things on qvc that she only knew because she woke up to qvc on tv, and her cell phone and cc on the table.

I get TONS of singing telegram vms from friends in college in different time zones. usually at 4 or 5 am est.

But having said all that, I love them and their antics. Keep it up guys!

Drunk online shopping. Thank goodness Neiman’s return policy is so forgiving.

114 – that’s an amazing post.

I’m a drunk txter big time. All the time. Mass txts, racey txts and photos. Whups.

While in college, my buddies and I ordered tickets to a concert in Florida. We lived in New Jersey and were going to drive. Yeah! Great idea! I still have the ticket, I think.
