Drinking when coupled with other activities can be risky to downright dangerous. We all know that you should not get behind the wheel of a car after having a few drinks and thankfully i have been so conditioned to this little nugget that even wasted i will not drive. However, I am finding more and more i get into other troubles when drinking and having too much time on my hands.

In the past I have been guilty from time to time of drunk dialing. You know the act of calling people up on the phone when one is all chatty and shittfaced. I did this a lot about 5-7 years ago. Nothing too bad,but I would get someone on the phone and chat their ears off. Over time that phase of my life seem to go away after i had embarrassed myself on too many times.

.

Next comes the advent of smart phones and the drunk texting. The texts you send some appropriate and some not so much. these texts I never remember sending until I check my phone the next day. I have been guilty of these fairly recently. The last one coming this weekend, but at least it was 'G' rated. The embarrassing things is I sent this text to someone I like but we have not been in touch for quite some time and then there is the living in different cities and dating other people - not a smooth move and there is no way to cancel it once it have been sent. thankfully, the text seems to be pretty much ignored on her end - is that really good or bad - meh!

Anything that has to do with online dating and social networks is a bad mix when drinking and I have found myself banned from more than one site as i drink and my verbage goes from clean to trucker within a few drinks. I have had the joy of reading some postings/submissions the next morning and it was not very pretty. back in the day I was even banned from AOL - that was an embarrassing call to make to get the banned lifted. I cannot help it that i drink and then get, well maybe a little amorous. Well, i still try to avoid thise sites when I have had a few too many, but I find I repeat the same horrid behavior so often.

My latest drunken misfortunes have come about recently. I have started to drunk buy!.. I go to Amazon or whatever site and buy like I have just won the Lotto! It is not that I am buying outrageous things, but just not all that budget friendly. A year ago i loaded my online cart with computers. Not one or two, but three. Why i am not sure - i think it was an attempt to open up a small business or something. thankfully, the next morning I was able to go online and cancel that order. I was not so fortunate with the 10 pairs of shoes I ordered from one vendor - however I still wear them all to this day.

This weekend I went about ordering everything on my Amazon wishlist. My wishlist is not that grand but still a one time order of $1500 is still a big order for me. I ordered tennis rackets, Rachel Ray cookware, new ipods, and some other fancy electronics i have had my eye on. the actual total i am afraid to tally up but it is more than I planned to spend. since I am a prime member I could not cancel in the morning. so I have two choices. I can send part or most of it back once received or I can keep it all and consider it a lesson learned. And maybe next time hade my computer out of site before coming home from the pub after a few too many!
