I can't remember a thing from last night. Advice.

Firstly I know there's an abundance of "trolls" who post in H&R at the moment, but I can assure you I am not. Secondly, please don't de-non as this is quite a personal issue, and I'd rather it deleted than de-nonned.

Last night my friends and I got together for a party, as a sort of "goodbye summer" as we start college again this week. I don't drink a lot, at most I drink about 1 glass of whatever. Last night I remember having two shots of vodka, weak vodka at that, what happened after that is a blur.
Surely I couldn't be that drunk after two? I'm so confused, because I'm not a lightweight and can normally handle my drink, and anyway normal people don't get drunk after two shots, which leads me to think it wasn't just vodka.

What is really bugging me, is the fact that what I did last night I can only remember bits and even now I don't know if I'm remembering right. I THINK I did something. I'm not currently sexually active and I would never (in my right state of mind.) do anything sexual with a friend at a party. But I think I did, I sorta remember begging him to "touch me", but even that could be me dreaming or "remembering" wrongly. I'm so ****ing disgusted with myself, but also disgusted at my friend who knows me so well. I left this morning as soon as I woke up around 7 and ran out of his house.

I don't know what to do, I'm confused, I feel absolutely awful, I'm almost certain something was in my drink to make me behave the way I did. I keep trying to remember things but it just makes me feel worse. Should I ask people who were at the party? But how? I'm so embarassed.

Sorry for the long post, I probably rambled on. Please no sarcy comments.

Yeah, don't ask us, we weren't there. *shouts* WE WEREN'T EVEN INVITED!

Haha, no seriously, just ask someone who was there. You might have been slipped something in your drink, but if you can't remember much, maybe you had more alcohol but couldn't remember, I dunno. And take note that 'blackouts' are caused by a rapid increase in blood-alcohol concentration, so doing shots and stuff is more likely to cause this anterograde amnesia.

Well, tbh, if you can't seem to remember what happened, the best thing to do is just ask someone who was at the part, perhaps a close friend? See what they say, and take it from there.

The closest I've at to something like this was getting blind drunk in a shots competition a year ago. I remember absolutely nothing between arguing with some guy in a pub and waking up on my kitchen floor - so you're not the first one to act like a t*t because of alcohol, even if you did. I wouldn't ask anyone about it, if your mates are like mine then they'll probably tell you everything anyway!

If you're sure you know which friend you had the incident with, then you could always drop a quick apology for how you acted in to a conversation - just don't necessarily mention what you're sorry for if you can't remember :P

Everyone has something to be ashamed of when they've been drunk.

Thanks for the advice ^ but it really is more of an issue with me being disgusted at myself than doing stupid things whilst drunk.

This is EXACTLY why I don't drink. I hate the idea of losing control (plus it saves my liver!).

Anyway, you were drunk. It wouldn't have been 'you' doing the things you did, and I'm sure people have done things far worse.

Yeah, and in that respect all you can do is get over it. You're disgusted with yourself because you did something stupid, surely? Everyone does it, it's not the end of the world. If you're really that pissed off, there's not a lot you can do cept not drinking vodka again.:smile:

you seem like an alright person tbh!!! you said you normally only have one glass, so this is ONE slip up, maybe youre not good at shots, you know that now!

im the same, one shot and i can be like on the edge of throwing up lol and i am FAR from a light weight, it normally takes me 10 vodka and cokes to get to the same place 1 shot would....its coz it gets into you so quickly

so tbh dont feel upset of disgusted with yourself, as everyones said, we've all probably been in the same situation...or worse!!!

just apolagise to the guy you think something may have happened with, and justsay to your mates you dont remember anything and im SURE theyl fill you in, once you know what happened itsa probs not as bad as you think :smile:

xx
Just ask someone, preferably him.
You don't think you could have been spiked do you? =S

what's done is done... But hey, think of all the benefits if you are pregnant, like child benefits and housing benefits and everything else people from places like Rotherham enjoy lol. Joke. You could ask your friends but they could lie.

Well I thought it could've possibly been, but people on this thread say shots make you feel more drunk so probably not.

Hmmm, that's a fair point but it still seems weird since you are not a lighweight, plus I wouldn't have thought vodka shots could knock you that much :s-smilie:. I wouldn't worry about it though, it's unlikely and I guess you wouldn't be able to find out now anyway. :console:

Ask.
Just ask people, or do i what do and avoid talking about it lol. i cant remember much from friday, thats because i hadnt drunk for a while, so it hit me much quicker.
one glass?

barman - what will it be?
you - hhmm just a pint.........of vodka.
Bless you. Unfortunately this happens to us all. While it is definitely possible your drink was spiked, it could also be to do with the shots. Personally, I never touch spirits because I am so afraid of the consequences but have also been known to drink one too many beers and ended up feeling the same level of hopelessness that you describe here. My advice to you is to be easy on yourself and not to give yourself such a hard time, you sound like a nice, considerate person. Chances are as well, if you were drunk, so were the majority of others so don't judge yourself so harshly. The hangover from it may feel pretty awful as well but just realise it for what it is and know that very soon, you'll feel much better! Lots of love xxx
We've all been there at least once or twice.

Did you not have anything to eat beforehand? That makes a massive difference. They probably were quite big shots of vodka as well, I find what's considered a shot at a party to be significantly bigger than what's actually considered a shot measurement.
I wouldn’t ask him!! If you only has two shots of vodka there is no way you’d behave like that ( unless you took medication that day or you’re allergic to alcohol). If that’s not the case I feel your drink was spiked. And if it’s his bed you woke up in ill bet it’s him who spiked your drink. Ask another friend at the party that night. When you feel better get a allergy alcohol test done. And in future buy your own drinks. Never let someone else even if you know them. Stay safe always.

9 year old thread, I think the issue may be resolved now and possibly forgotten about.
