    I couldn't help overhearing a conversation between 2 lads last night. They can't have been more than about 20 years old or so. Anyway, 1 lad was telling the other about the worst night of his life which involved him hitting someone, which broke one of his knuckles. Kicking a tree which broke a bone in his foot and somehow getting stabbed as well that night.

    The worst injury I've ever sustained whilst drunk was slipping down the stairs on my butt at a cocktail bar on my 30th birthday.

    So AH what is the worst/stupidest injury you've sustained whilst drunk?




    Should add I did some damage to my tail bone as a result thats still with me 10 years later

    I fell out of a shower and whacked my face of a toilet bowl in a hotel in Newcastle, only had a couple of pints in me at the time. Cost me Stg£9,000 to fix my teeth.:(

    Not me personally but my mate thought it would be a good idea to try cycling an old bike that had no tyres and both wheels buckled. He went over the handle bars, face first into the corner of a small concrete wall. He broke his nose, lost 4 teeth and was lucky not to lose his eye.

    I've broken a knuckle after a punch as well... Besides that nothing much outer than sore parts from slipping etc. I remember at the start of the year I was well on it before even getting ready... Went for my shower and then realised there was no mat or towel outside that would prevent slipping... Fell flat on my arse and ended up staying in for the night because I could barely move. It took me about a half hour to even leave the bathroom. Oh the shame.

    I was running while giving a girl a piggy back and I tripped, I was holding her legs so I couldn't use my hands to stop me and I went face first into the pavement breaking my nose. She was grand though since she landed on top of me. I also had a huge lump on my forehead. Got the ride once id stopped bleeding though so it was all good.

    Been told by a band playing to stop singing or else they would leave

    It was a bit sore alright, didn't stop me drinking though. I looked quite a sight sitting in the Bigg Market at half two in the morning eating a doner kebab with a straw.

    Fell through a plastic shower door while showering hammered, slitting my arm and resulting in 17 stitches. Was going grand until I closed my eyes and felt like I was on a rollercoaster.

    I used my face as a brake against a pebbledash wall during the world cup in 1994.

    A friend of mine was climbing a tree, he got pretty high up when he heard a crack and fell about 30 feet landing on his back. He can walk again, but it's been a tough year for him.

    sprained a wrist and my ankle, bruised my head cut my arm open, one night coz jumping into a shallow fountain was a great idea after a few vodkas.

    I also fell down the stairs a few times thankfully I don't drink vodka anymore and rarely wear heels.

    Broken nose. Said something stupid to a stoned guy, so he punched me in the face. Served me right, tbh. These days I only say stupid stuff when I'm sober.

    I Arrived home drunk one night and went to bed. Woke up in the middle of the night in absolute agony with a cramp in my leg from dehydration from drink and couldn't play gaa from 3 weeks because of it.

    Does that count as a drunk injury?

    I was jogging home drunk through an estate and came to an alleyway and tripped over some wire mesh in the grass and fell forward head first into a pebble-dashed wall, blood everywhere. Didn't feel much as i was well drunk :D

    You should've went abroad to get them done. My friend - who is traveling the world - was talking some British guy and the guy said it's cheaper to travel from Britain to Thailand and get your teeth done there.

    My teeth are fúcked too and hopefully I'm getting them done in India next year.

    I don't feel like i should share this one with you, but hey, why not, it was one stupid thing to do but i was really drunk from a two day bender. This was many years ago.

    I was told i fell in the door locked drunk and sat at the kitchen table mumbling for ages and then i stood up and wobbled over to the lampshade that was lit and urinated all over it sending a 240 volt shock right into you know what and it blasted me right back and i cracked my head off the corner of a wooden chair. That was the worst one.
