TIFU by drinking

Submitted by Diglis t3_z57w0u in tifu

ig you could say this is a yesterday I fucked up, but here we go. so yesterday we planned on having thanksgiving dinner with my family. some things happened and it got canceled, so I went back to my college, got some alcohol, and drank so much I blacked out and woke up in a jail cell. apparently I was screaming and making a lot of noise so someone called university police and I was arrested. oh, and I was vomiting all over the cop. I am only facing possession of alcohol as a minor (I'm 19), but still it sucks so bad. I've been wretching for hours, my head and arms hurt, I have cuff marks, and all around just feel awful. not in a hangover kind of awful, just mentally awful. my court date is in January, and I have no clue what kind of fine I'll be facing. luckily the people in the jail were nice and tried to get me out as soon as I came to.

tldr: drank too much, blacked out, got arrested.

You're far from the first college student to drink too much. I had to have my stomach pumped back in the day. The cops thought I was on PCP because I was so violent while blackout drunk. Broke 2 teeth face planting on ice. Woke up handcuffed to a hospital bed...

Take it seriously when you go to court, and it shouldn't be too bad.

I've learned to change the way I drink as I've gotten older and this is no longer a problem for me.

Holy shit that sounds like hell. luckily I wasnt necessarily violent, just really loud.

and yeah I hope I don't get too big of a fine for that. the cops were saying since it was my first offense and I wasn't driving or in public then I should be fine.

Lol, I felt absolutely awful...

You've had a nasty wake up call as well, but it sounds like it could have a been a lot worse. Take your licks and take it to heart. If you dont want to be back in this situation again, you'll likely need to be a little more self aware when you're drinking.

oh yeah I'm not gonna touch alcohol in a long while, if ever again at all. waking up handcuffed in a jail cell, covered in vomit and severely dehydrated is not something I wanna do again haha. I'll probably just stick to weed. alcohol is a pain in the ass

Take it as a learning experience and don't make the same mistake twice.

oh definitely. I can say for sure that I'll never EVER touch alcohol in the near future, if ever again.

So you're on a medication that you shouldn't mix with alcohol but decided to try it anyway? That's your first fuck up.

yeah definitely not my smartest move. I knew it wouldn't kill me of course, but I didn't realize it would make me freak the hell out. had a rough day and decided to hit the bottle. not something I'll ever do again lol

I may have drank more than I thought, but I only remember having like 3 beers and 4-5 shots of Evan Williams.

You're what we call a "2 pint screamer" here in the UK.

Pro-tip: get that shit under control now. The longer bad dining happens the harder bad drinking is to stop. I'm not kidding.

The worst part is the side effects that don't even start till later. Anxiety in particular is the effing worst. One day I went from drinking to help anxiety to drinking causing anxiety and I had no coping skills developed. It's... Not great.
