Re: GTKY 3/13
I was obsessed with this guy from my swim team in college for like 2 years. We were "talking" or whatever at the end of freshman year/going into soph year and then he studied abroad in Amsterdam that summer for a few weeks. I saw all these pictures tagged with him and this girl on the trip who had braces and I was like who tf is this girl? Fast forward to us all getting back to school and our first big party. He brought her over to the house we were pregaming at but I wasn't even planning on going out that night. Well, once I saw him walk through the door with her, I grabbed one of the freshman and was like WE'RE TAKING SHOTS!!! We took a million in a short period of time and then some of the upperclassmen snuck us into a bar. That's about the last thing I remember other than 2 of the senior guys taking me home and watching me hug the toilet. The funny/embarrassing part is that the 2 guys were this guy's roommate and so they knew I liked him, and kept trying to get me to say stuff about it. Apparently it was all incomprehensible other than when they were like "ah that girl that ____ brought to the party tonight was pretty cute, right?" They said I finally lifted my head up, slowly turned towards them, gave them a death stare, and was just like...SHE. HAS. F-CKING. BRACES. and then went back to mumbling into the toilet lol.
That was the first that came to mind but the swim team went hard in college so I'm trying to think of more. Shockingly, I can't remember any...
Edited for clarity
i decided last minute to meet my friends at a local bar. When I got there they were all wasted so I wanted to catch up by taking shots and a bunch of random drinks. Obviously that wasn’t a great way to begin the night.
About 40 minutes after being there, a girl came behind me and shoved me so hard I spilled my drink. So I turned around and asked her wtf and she screamed “I saw you kissing my boyfriend you slut”.
So I screamed “don’t call me outside my name” 😂 I don’t know where I heard that but it came out haha. Next thing I know she’s pulling her fist back like she’s going to punch me.
As drunk as I was, I remembered that “mama didn’t raise no fool” so I pulled back and knocked her out. First time I ever hit someone who wasn’t a sibling.
Next thing I knew I was getting carried out by a bouncer and was banned from the bar for 6 weeks.
Another time I was at the bar (same bar. Small town) and I was celebrating my birthday with my friends. Everyone was buying me shots. We decided to leave and everyone else had to pee so I decided to wait outside. I apparently was dancing alone, to no music and must have made myself dizzy because I started puking.
Normal people puke on the ground. Me ? Drunk Kelsey ?
I puke on police officers. 🤷🏻♀️ So that was how I got a night in the drunk tank. My friends thought I must have just caught a cab and headed home lol. Such good times.
@kels0091 That's wild!
Hmmm... I might have a couple?
One time with my most recent ex who I dated for 6 years, I found out he cheated on me and he started going down a bad path of getting into drugs/partying a lot. I only stayed with him because his mental stability was not the greatest and I still did care for him but not in that way. ANYWAYS he wanted to go to a festival and I said I would go because I just didn't trust him. I was still bitter about the whole situation of cheating so I decided to go hard. His one friend (who had a tattoo of Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce on his leg) and I decided that we were just going to walkaround and get sloppy. We shared some homemade moonshine, I had a bag of wine that I put in my nike bag, and we had a bottle of Admiral Nelson rum. Needless to say we got very intoxicated. Our "camp" made a big painted sign on plywood and I peed on it to spite my ex. Then we went to one of the bands campsites to hang out. I had some wine left that I shared with some of them and then they dared me to "smack the bag" and chug the rest. So I did. Then they didn't seem impressed so I decided I was just going to try and chug the rum. I chugged, I swallowed, and then they all looked at me with shock/fear? And then I instantly started puking... ALL OVER THEIR CAMPSITE/SOMEONE'S TENT. I don't remember much after that. When I woke up, I was in my tent without a shirt on and just underwear. I looked outside and there wasn't anyone from camp there. So I put on my clothes and took a little walk. The band from the previous night was like "DID YOU BRING A MOP?" and they all started laughing at me. Then I continue to where they had the food trucks and I saw my ex and all of his friends. Apparently I came back, started yelling at my ex and started throwing things around the campsite like a bear. I had a hangover for a week. It was awful!
Another one that isn't so funny but DH likes to bring it up a lot. We were at a wedding and I was double fishing screwdrivers/taking shots all night. We went back to the hotel and I flooded the bathroom during my shower, DH used all the towels trying to sop it up but it was bad. He went to go get ice and he came back with my feet in the mini fridge crying because my feet were hot. He started laughing and I just started crying even more saying he didn't understand. He had to talk me down and I ended up sleeping with my feet on the air conditioner next to the bed lol.
Diagnosed with PCOS & Hashimoto's
My roommate's BF had brought Everclear, Sprite, and a plethora of Koolaid packets. My first experience ever having something that didn't taste like alcohol which is why I tend not to drink because I don't like the taste. I only ended up having like half a solo cup worth, but it made me so sleepy. I didn't black out, but at one point was chilling in my desk chair acting like a newborn that couldn't hold their head up.
DH didn't drink and was having me take sips of Monster (he was always drinking that back then, gross) just so I wouldn't be having so much alcohol. He also had me eat some of those mini muffins. He was escorting me to the communal bathroom in the center of the wing a few times - to pee! Never to puke. I surprisingly didn't that night. It was like 2am, but he wouldn't walk in since it was a girls bathroom - the entry doors stayed open so he could still see me in the stall area and the sinks right at the entry area. He was a good man.
At some point we had this idea that we'll basically have an orgy of 3 couples go on with us up ony lofted bed, roommate in her bed, not lofted, and the friend and his GF on the futon under our bed. I think by the time we got around to laying in bed I was so tired that I just fell asleep so the orgy never happened.
DH had me drink a bunch of water before falling asleep so I woke up surprisingly without a huge headache. Anytime I drink heavily or quite a bit he's always a gentleman and tells me to drink water before I fall asleep.
That's about the extent of my "wild" college days 😆

Wait lol wait, mine that I had here is just embarrassing and involves being drunk but not... a drunk story. I deleted it and will edit for an actual good drunk one in a sec! Okay edited/more relevant story is here!
For my 33rd birthday, I got so drunk that I was like stumbling awful drunk at like 3pm. Luckily, even though we were 2 hours from home, my stepsister had gotten a hotel room in the city (since they were flying out of there in the a.m.), so she checked in and I laid down on the bed while she, MH, and her bf all hung out. I don't remember anything until.... I came to and I was taking a bath in their hotel room? lol DH came in and was like "What are you doing!" and I was all yelling like "the water isn't hot enough!!" and he was like "let's get your dressed" and then they had to monitor me while I napped. I managed to have a (very quiet, I could barely talk lol) dinner w/ them before DH & I drove home.
DH on the other hand.... about a year after my "incident" at the poconos, we were back and DH got trashed. We got into some argument and fell asleep angry. I heard him get up at 3am and shuffle around... then I hear the sound of pee hitting carpet... I asked him what the hell he was doing and he stared at me (mid-stream) like "WTF do you think I'm doing?!" He was peeing in the corner on their dresser. I grabbed some towels and, although he still didn't know what was really going on, he "cleaned" it up and then started to drape them over the banister. I told him he couldn't hang pee soaked towels on a wooden banister that we needed to put them in the wash. He stared at me blankly again and then slowly closed the door in my face! He barely remembered what happened the next morning until I told him. Turns out he really thought he was in the bathroom...I was so mad at the time, but we laugh so hard at it right now!

@brookert615 Ah-hahahahaha your feet in the mini fridge!!!
@inthewoods23 I, on the other hand, have a lot of drinking stories, but none of them ended with an almost-orgy, haha! Make your one story count, I guess!
As for me, I have an extremely high alcohol tolerance (which isn't necessarily a good thing) and have for the most part always been very in control of myself when drinking heavily. I've never blacked out and have only puked on a handful of occasions. The funniest story I have is from the wedding of the first of my very close college friends to get married. I had no idea going into it if it was going to be open bar, and their program specifically called out a "cocktail hour" which was open bar, so MH (BF at the time) and I basically did a power hour. I managed to get through the wedding okay, but was SO drunk by the end. There was an after party back in their suite, and we were told to go back to our rooms and put on comfy clothes. The wedding was at a beach front hotel with a walkway balcony that connected all of the rooms. On our way back to our room, I decided that I was going to hug a potted shrub that was located on the walkway to our room. As I hugged this shrub, a freaking bird that was sleeping in its nest in the bush tried to fly out and hit me. Imagine being that poor bird, fast asleep in the middle of the night, and being awoken by a hug from a very drunk giant. MH nearly peed himself laughing at me. We got back to the room, I threw up, and then passed out. Never made it to the after party, and MH told everyone at brunch about my shrub-bird encounter.

Also - at first when I read "potted shrub" I saw "potted shroom" and was really confused as to how someone potted a giant mushroom and also how a bird was sleeping in it!! (I swear I'm not drunk right now hahaha) After I went back and re-read it made more sense
And no, not the same room but the rooms were right next to each other!! We all joke now that we are just marking our territory whenever we are there!

@kagesstarshroom LOL just taking a bath!!!
@kpearse99 That's crazy! So funny about YH peeing on the dresser!!!
@shamrocandroll HAHAHA hugging the shrubs, scaring the poor bird!
Diagnosed with PCOS & Hashimoto's
@inthewoods23 too funny about the failed orgy. that's very nice of YH to tell you to drink water. Mine just yells at me when I want to drunk eat (which really only happened in Chicago, we'd be walking home from the bar and he would have to restrain me from stopping somewhere for food. One time I was so desperate that I got a burger from 7-11. EW)
@kagesstarshroom lol nothing to see here guys, I'm just taking a bath! What else would I be doing?
@kpearse99 ah such a sad experience with all your clothes! seriously, who doesn't keep a trashcan in the room?! ANd too funny about YH and the dresser
@shamrocandroll hahah it's just as good as I imagined earlier. That poor bird probably had a heart attack!
Seeing some of your stories made me remember that I'm almost certain I also peed in the hallway during my long ordeal. I mean, I was trying to go to the bathroom when I accidentally left the room lol. Shame....

When I was a senior in college we had a graffiti party, where everyone wore plain T-shirts and you were supposed to sign each other. I partied really hard, let everyone sign my shirt (and arms, and legs, and neck), fell over dancing on one of my students (I was a lab TA), but somehow made it safely home. Fast forward to next morning --- I wake up super late (in my bed, at least), with a raging hangover, but have to make it to a class (frequent pop quizzes), so I throw on a hoodie and go. In class, I do okay on the quiz (which turns into a writing assignment) but obviously look miserable. The classroom is so, so hot, and I'm so so hungover, that I finally have to take the sweatshirt off and let everyone see my graffiti arms. Best part - the next class, professor is returning our assignments and actually calls me out and says that mine was especially strong and that maybe being hungover was good for my writing.
I have tons of stories I could tell about other people but not much about me. There was one time in college 3 of us got completely trashed at the bars and then came home and kept it going. At one point we put pots on our heads and wrestled. 🤷♀️ There are pics of this going down. Then 2 of us tricked the third into dropping her pants for a photo by saying we would all moon the camera. I randomly ran across the ass picture the other day and about fell out of the chair laughing. Totally kept it. It was January and after photo time we decided we had to go swimming. And then we did. How we didn’t drown I don’t know. We did pass out after that. Woke up a few hours later, still drunk, and there was blood alllllll over my white comforter. We had no idea where it came from, and then I realized my dog was missing. Y’all I straight up thought my dog was murdered. Turns out she was scared out of her mind and hiding and the blood came from me gracefully climbing out of the pool. Huge gash on my knee.
My dad works in law enforcement.
A cop drives by us, slams on the brakes, hits reverse, and stops right next to us. He gets out. We're all barely to not quite legal to be drinking...
Then he calls out my name. "HEY! I THOUGHT THAT WAS YOU! I KNOW YOUR DAD. CAN I GIVE YOU A RIDE HOME????"
Now my friends are kinda backing away pretending they don't know me....
