18 ideas that seem like they're amazing when you're drunk
It's a Bank Holiday weekend, which means that everyone will be on their best behaviour...for about two minutes.
A few well earned drinks are definitely in order but I'm at pains to say that if you plan on having a tipple then do so responsibly, nobody likes an obnoxious drunk.
This being said, there are some ideas that always seem better when you've had a few drinks. How many of these can you relate to?
1) Steal something odd
Ever wake up with a traffic cone, barstool or the salt shaker that has been 'borrowed' from the local take-away lying in your bedroom? Yeah, me neither. *Cough, cough*.
2) Call your partner
What girlfriend/boyfriend doesn't love to have their fella waking them up at 3am when they're absolutely rat-arsed drunk and simultaneously haggling over the size of a garlic and cheese chips?
3) Ask your taxi driver to be a DJ
Whether or not you're heading into town or on your way home from a night out, the tunes must continue.
Truth be told, my friends and I once had a mini-rave while this was playing on the radio. Our incredibly sound taxi driver just turned it up and joined in.
4) Football in the street
If more than four friends are out with you and you stumble across a plastic bottle that's lying in the street, the chances are that a match is going to happen.
5) Karaoke to yourself
Everyone knows a friend that can't help but sing out-loud whenever they've just left the bar. They probably don't have a note in their head but that won't stop them.
6) Drop it like it's hot
Drink can loosen your lips and hips accordingly but you can always tell though when certain people have had a bit too much. It's probably because they're doing something like this.
7) Sending a strange text
The important thing is that it made sense in YOUR head.
8) Nope, I'm walking home
You might live 50 miles away from the bar that you've just left but after a few drinks, your brain starts to trick you.
Sure, that's the reason why. It's either that or you've managed to convince yourself that you have the long-distance athleticism and endurance of David Rushida.
9) The toilet chat
Clearly I have no idea about what goes on in a ladies bathroom but all men will have a conversation with a complete stranger when they're using the urinal. This is something that would probably not happen when you're sober.
'How are ya' , 'good night?', 'this place is deadly/shit' and 'you're a legend' will usually be said.
10) The 2:57 rush to kiss anyone
While it's good to have standards and certain expectations about any future partner, there will always be a time when you feel like you might shift anything that comes across your path.
An angry ex, a complete stranger, a gorilla. If it has a pulse then send it on for consideration.
11) Climb something
I'd like to think that I've changed since my younger years but I've also got a theory. All men, regardless of their age, still have that instinct to climb a tree, phone box, ladder or anything else in sight.
Not a good idea when you've been drinking though.
12) Waking up your roommate for a chat
My own personal experience here but why is it that people feel the need to enter your room, when you're sleeping, to tell you all about their night out?
13) Spending money like a mad eejit
Alcohol means that I'm rich in both spirit and money. Oh no, wait a second...
14) This looks like a grand place to sleep
Roads, bushes, benches, clubs, buses, rugs, couches, porches. You name it and we all have 'that' friend who has managed to catch forty winks here.
15) Ended up at a strange after party
I once met a bunch of strangers outside of a petrol station at 4am and ended up having the craic with them until the morning came around. My mam must be so proud.
16) Pick a dumb argument
You: I'm telling you that United bought Schweinsteiger for €15m.
Your friend: No, it was €20m. I remember it on Sky.
You: It's €15m you fecking gobshite.
Your friend: It's 20 ya gowl. Admit it!
17) Declare your love for a stranger
Who knows, maybe this randomer will end up being your best friend or future spouse? Probably not.
18) Make bulls**t travel plans
"No seriously, I'm definitely going to the Rugby World Cup. I've got holidays to take from work and everything."
Will these plans actually happen?
