Can't remember night out!

shinesun

I rarely go out and don't drink much.
However I was out sat night and drank way too much and now I can't remember and hate not remembering and feel embarrassed not knowing what I could have said.
Would you ask your friends what you did/said or am I better off not knowing?
I have def learnt a valuable lesson that I can have 2/3 drinks and that's it.
I don't know what I was thinking, obv was not thinking at the time!!!

I would say if it's anything too bad, you'll hear about it soon enough Don't beat yourself up about it, most of us have done it at one point or another. If you've learned a lesson, that's the main thing.

you could text the people you were out with and ask them how their night was? If something negative happened you'll probably detect something from their replies.

Ah OP it's a horrible feeling, and it happens to most of us at least once in our lives. As tbh said, don't beat yourself up. I know you probably have "the fear" and a feeling of remorse and shame, even though you don't know if you've anything to be shameful about! The best thing to do is give one of your friends a ring later and have a chat to them. I'm sure you've nothing to worry about. Drink plenty of water today and eat well and you'll be feeling better by this evening

Urgh, feel for you OP. Been there & done that-an xmas office party springs to mind. As others have said, it happens to nearly everyone who has a few drinks at some stage.

I would talk to your friends about it, in a fairly lighthearted way. Hope you feel better soon and 'the fear' lifts.

this happens to me atleast once a week, just check your phone for dodgy texts , and if anyone calls you out on anything just say 'sorry, i was locked, cant remember anything' and you'll be grand. I dont know why everyone gets so paranoid about doing something bad, most of the time it just ends up that you had too much to drink, talked a load of crap with some stranger then stumbled home.

Some pointers I use myself in such a circumstance ...

1 - Do I know where it is that I have woken up?

2 - If answer to 1 is no, then is where I am a jail / garda station?

3 - What state are the clothes I wore in?

4 - Do I have the holy trinity of keys, wallet, phone?

If you get through all of the above then you will probably be grand ;-)

I have often gone home and can't remember most of the night. But it's true what i was told before as bad as you are if you done something bad you would remember it. Don't worry you probably done what most people do be giddy and keep repeating yourself.

If all your friends are still talking/texting you your grand plus you'll get the flash backs and it could be a good or bad thing!!!

:eek::eek:If-this happens to you on a regular weekly basis maybe you should re-think your drinking habits..its not as if "sorry I was locked can't remember anything" constitutes a reasonable defence in the event of anything legally dodgy happening...not to mention what regular binge drinking is doing to your health in the long term...

Thanks guys, asked my friend what was I saying/doing. She did not answer the question just said we all had a great night so going to have to take her word for it and I'm guessing if there was something really bad, someone would have told me by now or they could be saving my feelings! Either way, I have learned to slow down:)
