memory loss resulting from drunkenness

I'm a bit worried about the fact that I can't remember what I did last night... I don't really know any of the people I was with well enough to ask them, but if I did anything really bad my new boyfriend will know about it, since one of his housemates was there. What if I pulled someone? There's no reason why I would have done, but I just don't know. I was still drunk at 2pm and am getting a hangover now. I know this sounds really silly, and I know I deserve all I get for drinking so much, but I'm worried! I did some really daft things when I got home, judging by the state of my room this morning. For some reason I moved all my furniture around and poured water into my top drawer, and left all my clothes on the table in the hallway. Oh, and I've just found a spoon in my bag. I'm slightly concerned. Have texted the boyfriend and he hasn't replied yet. I'm hoping it's not because I did something really awful and he never wants to speak to me again...

You could always just ask someone who went out with you last night, whether you did anything stupid or not.

It was a sports initiation, so they're all pretty much people I've just met. Apart from the boyfriend's housemate, who I don't want to ask for obvious reasons!

I wound up suddenly becoming very sober with a guy on top of me the other night, still have no memory of how we got to that point Lol, just glad I saw sense when i did before anything really stupid hapened. Even if you don't know them that well, just mention the night to one of them - if you did something stupid they will probably be pretty eager to remind you of it without you asking!

I really hope I didn't kiss anyone...

It'll teach you not to drink too much, if you made a fool of yourself then you'd probably know by now, you might of done something but does it really matter, so long as you didn't have sex with someone right?

:rofl:

don't worry too much, you'll just have to wait and see i suppose. i found out yesterday that about a week ago i kissed another girl and i just have no recollection of it whatsoever :confused:

if i were you i'd ask someone who was with you. even if you don't think that you know them very well they probably feel like they know you a bit because they'll know you from that night. although you don't remember that much of them they may well know you quite well.

hope it turns out ok. x

Agreed if your that worried and your embarrassed about making a fool of yourself don't get so wasted.

lmaooo, i know that feeling! i went to party on mon and dont actually remember a thing between about 9-11..and other bits are missing too!

ppl do lots of silly things wen drunk, but u usually know if you've done something majorly bad....or even if u dont guaranteed someone will tell u the next day! (even if they dont know u that well)...or the latest thing seems to be that someone has it on video...not so nice that one!!

u shuld just ask someone who was there...u dont need to know someone that well to ask them that....plus its a convo starter! :p:

At your next training session/meeting/whatever... "So, did you have a good time on Tuesday night... I'm pretty sure I did, but in all honesty I need a little help remembering! I didn't do anything daft did I?"

^^^ that's worryingly well practised. :biggrin:

Sports initiation = blind drunkenness. It's a rule. People should understand.

Reply 13

Sounds like you had a good time to me.

Reply 14

As long as you got home ok with your knickers intact then there's nothing to worry about.

Don't beat yourself up about it, we all do crazy things when drunk.

I lit a friend's hair on fire the other day, alcohol has wiped his memory so far, long may it continue :wink:

Don't worry, people don't do things drunkenly that they wouldn't ever think of sober - well, relationship-wise anyway. Alcohol just removes the inhibitions that would normally stop you. If you wouldn't ever dream of kissing anyone else when sober then you won't have done when drunk.

Speaking from experience anyway...I've had opportunities to cheat on my boyfriend when I've been drunk and guys have come on to me, but however drunk I've been I never have and never will cheat in any way at all.

we've all been there! Don't worry about it, there's nothing you can do about it now, you had a good time right? chances are the people you were with would have been drunk and acting stupidly as well, it's the sober ones you want to watch out for, they'll be the ones giving you a lecture and telling stories.
