Things Not To Do When Drunk

By Sudheendra Mudikeri

It is better for you to avoid the waterhole if you can rather than memorize the list of things not to do when drunk. Especially when you are the centre of attraction of a crowd. Beware that your hidden foes and unannounced rivals always exist in parties / places you frequent. Alcohol has a tendency to create some even if you hadn’t had any before.

Partying often gets out of hand when you’re feeling that you can push a couple of more shots. The world views you as a different entity when you show signs of drunkenness. The “NO ONE KNOWS” tendency creeps in and the baffling nature of alcohol makes you perform unbelievable feats. Many are excused by the birds of your own plumage but the non-drinking and especially the cops and bouncers aren’t the benevolent types.

SILLY THINGS MEN DO WHEN DRUNK

When do you know when you’re drunk or when to stop? Try a couple of these tests to confirm that you are heading for trouble. If you are akin to the “different world” feeling after a couple of shots or if you feel empowered to say nasty things to people whom you wouldn’t dare to otherwise, its time you stopped drinking.

Things Not To Do When Drunk

Alcohol is often seen to lose your inhibitions but that doesn’t stop at that. Losing inhibitions does not permit you to feel free to do things not to do when drunk. Try and remember these to save you from possible disgrace. The ones just below of party birds and revelers

1) Law of the Land First. Don’t drive drunk. Cops, tickets/fines, loss of driving permit is not all. Think of the lives of your nears and dears.

2) Never ever brag about your drinking quantities even when not drunk. Your real to test starts after you have had your minimum. IT IS BEST NOT TO GET DRUNK, YOU KNOW WHY?

3) Restrict or minimise use of your mobile devices. Texting, speaking, blogging, tweeting, photographs etc are a strict no-no. You might not be drunk. That is only your assumption. The listening side knows better.

4) Don’t discuss things you are uncomfortable with. The golden rule is “Silence is Gold”. Don’t settle for speech worth only silver.

5) Remembering a dance step or an acrobatic feat you performed when you were agile and probably younger and trying to repeat it.

6) Get flirtatious with strangers or first time acquaintances. You have the next day to do this, provided you remember

7) Pick a fight with a bouncer who is roughly three times your size and has little to no sense of humor.

8) Revealing your more saucy sexual life (an imaginary one, that too) to a horrified acquaintance.

9) Enter a mall with an impulse buying urge. Your credit scores hit an all-time low.

10) Dance aggressively with no respect for other people’s personal space.

Even if you are of the lonely heat-and-eat after a drink types, you need to follow the above while drinking alone, especially 3,5 and 9 above. But there is more for you. Lone drinking is a sign that you are on the verge of turning into an alcoholic. Even for those of you aware of this disease, there are some don’ts.

1) Falling asleep while waiting for food to heat up.

2) Reply professional mails and send signals

3) Communication with ex (either gender) or regarding past dealings.

4) Self medication. You are a good healer only when not drunk or hung over.

5) Sing aloud or play loud music assuming that you are the only listener.
