What stupid injuries have you caused yourself when drunk?

    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.:(

    That made me flinch and feel queasy at the thought of how much that must've hurt.

    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.

    Only thing I damaged was my dignity.

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 129 ✭✭michaelr666


    About 3 years ago I fell about 7-10ft onto a pile of rocks.. the tide was out at the time, banged my ankle up but there was no lasting damage, very lucky I was.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,294 ✭✭✭✭MadYaker


    I jumped over a wall that had 15 ft drop on the other side and sprained my ankle :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,127 ✭✭✭kjl


    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,676 ✭✭✭✭herisson


    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?

    Broke both feet leapin out of an upstairs window at a party and was that pissed i kept runnin around all night. woke up the next mornin with two soggy, wet bags of formerly frozen vegetables cellotaped to my feet.
    Busted my leg open on a radiator another night so badly i could see the bone. still have a big dirty scar on my leg and theres no feelin in it.
    Plenty of other bangs and bruises but those were the worst.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,377 ✭✭✭zenno


    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,301 ✭✭✭Daveysil15


    That made me flinch and feel queasy at the thought of how much that cost.

    Dislocated my knee in Tenerife in a night club, knocked my knee back in and my mates carried me home. Woke up the next day with my knee swollen to ****. I went to hospital and missed my flight home.

    Once got home steaming drunk and was locked out, so I went around the back of the house and I could see the tiny bathroom window was open so I decided to climb up and get in that way (used to do this all the time when I was sober). So I took my shoes off for better grip (as you do), got about 3/4 of the way up house and fell off!

    Thankfully The wheelie bins below me broke my fall so I didn't die, but as I fell off the wheelie bins I landed in broken glass. In bare feet. Got a massive gash on my right foot that literally sprayed blood like in a movie...So what did I do? Climbed up again, with the cut foot and got in! Got blood all over the house, had to go get eleven stitches and tetanus shots the next day


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,379 ✭✭✭hefferboi


    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!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,801 ✭✭✭theoneeyedman


    I'm not sure exactly what happened on Friday night. There I was in Dublin singing by Elvis songs when suddenly .............


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    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.

    In my youth: Fell off the town square (about 4 foot high) flat on my face and got a black eye and bruised my dignity. Another time I was spinning around really fast holding hands with someone, lost my balance and fell through emergency exit doors and broke my thumb. Ran into a wall trying to get away from my bf who was trying to put me to bed, fell on a bin and broke it and got a black eye.

    Friday night: Decided to run home from the pub (about 2km) in my flat sandals. Made it almost all the way home, then kicked the footpath accidentally. Now have a purple, probably broken big toe. Silly me.

    Broke into a solicitors office and decided i could jump down the flight of stairs in one go.

    couldnt walk right for weeks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,199 ✭✭✭CardBordWindow


    After a Paddy's day full of drink, one of my housemate's threw an empty keg (one of the small 5 litre ones) to me, at my request.(we had planned using it in a drinking game) As he threw it, I realised I had a can in one hand, and a glass in the other.
    In my drunken state, I deemed the best option to be : don't drop anything, headbutt the keg - you'll surely hit the side of it.

    I could feel something run down my nose. The girl beside me winced. I had a nice 2 inch straight cut right across my forehead. Disinfected it with 12 year Jameson, strapped it up with insulating tape, and kept going.
    Still have a scar.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43 MatthewMonster


    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. >.<

    My friend got a bottle rammed into her face the night she went out for her 21st, she was after moving to a new town for college so she was coming back with him.

    She was brought to hospital with injuries to her eye and was discharged the following day in the same bloodied clothes, all cut up and a big bandage on her eye.

    Herself and the fella stopped off at mc Donald's to get something to eat before coming home, and everybody was staring at this chic covered in blood in the middle of the day so her boyfriend said "sit down over there or ill give you another one" haha

    (It wasn't her boyfriend that glassed her, he only said it for the craic)

    I punched a wall because I was mad and I broke my hand, it didn't really hurt until some other helpful drunkard decided to put it back into place for me. I was the butt of many jokes for weeks but the worst was explains to the doc in A and E what happened, so embarrassing having to explain your compete and utter stupidity to a doctor.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,537 ✭✭✭✭Cookie_Monster


    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.

    I was partying with the ANC in South Africa and they decided to necklace me!

    Luckily I escaped with only 90% burns!
