One of my least favorite parts of the weekend happens on Sunday morning.
The routine goes like this:
I open my eyes. I realize I have a wicked headache. I realize I probably had too much fun the night before. I blindly reach for my phone. I try to focus as I read my text messages from the night before. I hate myself.
I’m happy to report that this weekend I did not send a SINGLE drunk text or dial. Yay for me! (But it was because I was in Syracuse without my phone charger and my phone died. Hey, progress is progress!) A few of the girls I was with at my friend’s graduation party weren’t so lucky. My friend decided to call her ex and rub in how much fun she was having, and regretted it the next morning.
I’ve done my share of drunk dials and texts that I’ve regretted. Exs, bosses, co-workers, etc. Sometimes they end up pretty well…but the majority of them turn out to be a BAD idea. If you happen to scroll through my phone, you’ll see some contacts in my address book labeled “DO NOT TEXT,” to remind myself to behave after I’ve had a few drinks!
Have you ever sent a drunk text or made a drunk dial you’ve regretted? When is it okay to drunk dial or text?
