I ended up skidding, swerving off the freeway, crashing through the guard rail, and taking a 10-foot nosedive into the bushes and trees below. Car was totally wrecked beyond repair. I was unharmed by some sort of miracle. Cops showed up, breathalyzed me, and I got off the hook by about .01 points on the blood alcohol level count.

A series of miracles basically prevented it from being the worst day of my existence. And, while I'm not a religious man or even a believer of any kind, I took it as a serious lesson to be a heck of a lot smarter about the way I was leading my life.


Pls advise what you were drinking. Yest was my bday and I may partake in some libations tonight!!

DUI.

Easily the worst decision of my life. The awful part is that driving after drinks was a somewhat regular occurrence before that night. Needless to say, I learned my lesson and have made a complete change in the way I live my life.

Honestly, compared to the Baltimore metro area, public transit in NYC and the outer burroughs is a god-send. AND you can drink on the LIRR!


ah-hem... Not that I drink as often or as much as I used to. I still like to tip a few back every now and then.

in about 8th grade, one of my buddies had just moved into a developing neighborhood and there were several homes still being built. me and him used to have one hell of a time going through these construction sites breaking ****. this one time we went into this house which was essentially a duplex in which the lower unit was already rented out while the upper was just beginning to be built. we went in there and started throwing stuff around and breaking **** like normal. we then eventually started throwing bigger and bigger boards out the window, until we found a massive wooden beam. we both struggled to pick it up as it was quite heavy, then wiggled it into the window frame as we nearly got it completely out the window i hear my friend yell "stop", but it was to late the board was already falling. i look down and i see a woman who must be 90 years old walking out to get her mail and the board falls just inches from her head. she looked up and said something along the lines of "you gosh darned hooligans!", we then sprinted away to never be found. so in short my dumbest moment thus far would be almost killing a 90 yr old grandma. i look back on it at least once a week, running the different scenarios through my head of what could of happened because our dumb fun.

I don't really remember. It was a late-night outdoor BBQ in the Venice Beach area in LA. Probably a lot of beer and some JD, or something like it.

Being so afraid of doing dumb things that I've played everything too safely - this is the dumbest thing I've done in my life.

This one is pretty dumb.

Every time when I'm in Paris there's this cafÃ

me and my friends hang out. This one night two Norwegian girls walked in and we were already pretty drunk. They were very drunk. Anyway, right in the middle of the cafÃ

she took my hand and put it between her legs...

Needless to say after about an hour of drinking my buddy and me convinced to come back to our hotel with us. An hour after that, we still weren't able to find our hotel. So the girls RAN away from us like crazy. But at that point we didn't care anymore because we needed to unload some of those beers desperately.

So we did, right on the intersection of Boulevard St. Germain / Rue St. Jacques. Still, we weren't able to find our hotel. After two hours we decided to take a taxi to the hotel. When we found one, we got in the car. Gave him the adress, he drove 30 meters and there we were... Our hotel. We had been circling it all night.

We lost one friend in the process that only showed up around 2pm the next day.
