What stupid injuries have you caused yourself when drunk?

Nothing worse than busting your teeth or seeing other people landing on their teeth. Makes me cringe badly thinking about it.

I got some shock watching American History X!

I woke up in the morning with headache and a pain in my palm. It's was perfectly round deep burn from a cigarette.
I could nor remember much from last night and I am not a smoker at all.

pain was nagging me for a week. It did not help much being a chef too. Constant temperature changes and washing of hands.

Broke my hand punching a traffic sign that said bi curamach

Hmm, well I've incurred quite a bit of damage to myself due to alcohol,, but the most notable incidents are:
- While running barefoot down the estate I used to live in after a drunk friend who was having a mental breakdown, I stepped on a little stone partition between gardens and ruined my right foot, couldn't walk properly for days.
- Fell down the stairs of a club in Waterford after repeatedly telling the bouncer (in French, as I was pretending to be foreign) that I was nice and sober, and I was just here with my Erasmus friends. Major leg ouchies for a week or so.
- Recently, after a night of very, very heavy drinking, I was running down Bunker Hill in Waterford, and fell face-first into a pebble-dashed wall. I had a very ugly cut for about 6 days, as well as cut up knees, and bruises everywhere.
- Actually, most nights I go out, I tend to come home with some minor injury, my friends get very playfully aggressive, so they usually end up punching each other, and sometimes me. Which I don't like. >.<

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 best one.

FYP

split my head open just above my eye somehow. Remember leaving the house we were drinking at and arriving home with my head and both hands covered in blood, nothing in between.

Still no idea what happened.

Was out one Paddy's day/night in my teenage years upstairs in a pub watching one of my favourite local metal bands, whilst on crutches with severely damaged ligaments in my left "good" leg. (right knee was also banjaxed, but not as bad). Was very well behaved, just sat drinking while everyone else was moshing and generally enjoying myself.

Their gig was finishing mid-afternoon, then in another pub up the road, another metal band were starting later on. I carried on drinking til it was time to go up the road, and as we left, I insisted on going down the stairs, using the bannister on the right as a crutch, and one of my actual crutches on the left. Also insisted on carrying my bottle of smirnoff ice too (in my defence I was 16...!)

Two steps down, the crutch goes from under me, I manage to fall forward and somehow twist and roll down the stairs all the way to the bottom. Cue friends at top of stairs and bottom of stairs freaking out, and me giggling, holding up nonbroken bottle of smirnoff ice still relatively full and totally intact. I was well chuffed that aside from the intense burning horrible pain in my leg, there was no major damage done. Off we went up to the next pub, and I decided that seeing as I'd already milled myself once, I might as well try moshing on crutches.

I hit the ground twice before eventually admitting defeat and sitting at the side to watch the rest of the gig. Trying to come up with a story for the physio as to why my leg wasn't healing at the expected rate was.....fun.

TL:DR. Got drunk whilst on crutches, fell down flight of stairs (didn't spill drink!) and went moshing at metal gig later. Knocked off crutches twice at metal gig. Leg took inexplicably long time to heal afterward....:rolleyes:

Only happened in the last 6 months - woke up one morning after a heavy night drinking to find my ankle was all swollen. Didn't know what the **** happened, could not remember it happening. Came to the conclusion it was only sprained, so i tried to walk on it - i physically couldn't.


7 hours after waking up i decided it was time to go to a&e, my 'sprain' ended up being a broken ankle and i now have a massive 5 inch scar down my ankle after they put in the metal plate. Still not sure what happened
