Sending drunken emails

I think my laptop needs a breathalyzer

On Friday night, after a work cocktail party and a few more wines with my flatmate, I wrote a huge email being all EXPLAINEY (and probably very annoying in the process) to someone who has far better things to do with their time than read about my silly drama queen life experiences.

I just re read it (after finally finding it in my work email sent folder - I couldn't even remember what address I had written it from). And it is a bit cringe worthy indeed.

Sigh.

((((((((((((drunksunflower))))))))))))))

It had to be someone you knew well or you wouldn't have told them about your "silly drama queen life experiences". Be gentle with yourself! Maybe have someone put a password on your computer that you cannot access between 8 pm till 9am ?

Bad DSF

very bad dsf
no sun in flower nymore
stupid stupid

I feel your pain DS. I did the same to my T the other night. But at least it was my T so hes used to my nonsense.

I think if you have ANY drinks at all, write the email but then it in your draft folder until the next day.

Otherwise just forget it. Tomorrows another day...start over. Tormenting yourself wont help. Except it may may youwant to drink more.

We've all drunk dialed/emailed etc... if not there wouldnt be a name for it (drunk dial) right?

sensible ... yesssssss

funny, it IS the equivalent of drunk dialing ... hehe.

thanks for the giggle

OMG, you're not the only one to do this....I don't drink anymore, but when I did I had a habit of going on ebay and buying things...I'd wake up the next morning and have to go see what I bought and you can get some weird stuff on ebay. And then even worse, is emailing a friend after an ambiem and a drink...

I made a beer/clonazepam phone call last night... when I was feeling a tad emotional and in desperate need of explaining myself. I'm really glad it wasn't an e-mail because at least I don't have to SEE the evidence of what I said.

Apparently, it couldn't have been all that bad because the guy I called just called me this afternoon and we had a normal convo.

i don't know about being judgemental on this......we've all done this in one form or another.
i tend to do it more verbally than in emails, which can be just as bad or worse.
there's something very powerful about email communication...it's both very liberating and intimate, yet still has the responsibilities of a published letter of sorts, since once it's out there, it's semi permanent.
i think in the long run, the recipient of any email understands that it is just a slice of (your) life at that particular moment...and we all have episodes that are better or worse than others, so no harm done.
you can always send a retraction/explanation that you weren't thinking clearly at the time.
end of problem.

Done the drunken e-mails & dialing. One time I was really depressed after drinking (well, before, too, that's why I was drinking) & I called my father--all crying & going over all the past chaos that was my childhood. Finally, he had had enough & said, "I'm hanging up now." Only remembered bits & pieces the next day, but was moritified as well that he heard me in that shape.

Also, now I don't allow myself to call, write, e-mail, send smoke signals when I'm manic. I'll get in touch with people who I haven't communicated with in years & I'm sure they're wondering what has gotten into me.--Suzy

I kinda know / can see the pattern ... I have done this before too.

go out have a few drinks with friends (which makes me feel better / happier), maybe have something else fun as well if it is going to be a semi-big night, get home have a bit more wine and if i have something sleep-y on hand maybe i will take that too (as Juliana mentioned).

Bingo, I am think I am writing something completely sensible and I'm NOT, they are more like loopy self-indulgent rambles ... or I start coming down and getting emotional (even worse emails - self-indulgent and pathetic).

Sigh. It only happens when I am ... not very happy (d-word) and it's been almost weekly that I have done that sort of thing (not always emails, but the going out).

I don't drink during the week at all (unless it is a wine over dinner with a friend) and I don't actually drink a LOT - friday I think I had about three glasses of wine all up. Oh plus ONE cocktail at work cocktail party, I was going to drink more but decided to stop drinking and drive home instead.

Hmmmm so really it's more a case of no laptop after imbibing - heh.

Thanks for the responses, I still feel stupid but - maybe a little less so.

a little ...
