S/O: What activities are best done drunk?

I think it was major who mentioned in the cleaning thread about cleaning while drunk. I've done it and in some ways it's easier because you don't feel the pain and the time flies. Bonus if you don't remember - it's like magic cleaning fairies visited!

I once went jogging while seriously buzzed. Same thing - no pain and the time flew. 

What else should we all be doing whilst under the influence?

Re: S/O: What activities are best done drunk?

  • Writing thank you notes.

    Zumba. I went after happy hour one time and my ass was on fire. lol

  • Writing papers and playing the cello. Oh, college.

  • The better question is, what activites aren't best done drunk?

    Because I can't really think of any, aside from driving. And texting.

  • streaking, eating taco cabana, walking through dark alleys at night....

    one thing I wouldn't encourage is riding your bicycle in the dark after a few beers.

  • bowling.  i'm an outstanding 3 beer bowler.  any fewer, no good.  any more, disaster. 

    climbing stuff that's not intended to be climbed.  like the outside of an outdoor staircase.  not that i've ever done that.

    streaking.  not that i've ever done that either.

    CAMPING.  sober camping is what i imagine hell to be.  lake of fire?  pshaw.  tent in the middle of nowhere without sufficient bug spray and no shower?  ACK!

    kiss it, nest.

    Playing the cello.

    Really?  I have no ear when buzzed/drunk. It's horrible.

  • Sex

    Picnics in the park

    Childrens bday parties

    Cleaning

    Baseball games 

     

  • Maybe I was terrible at it but I thought I was good. That's all that matters, right?
  • Graduate school. All of it. Especially the thesis writing parts. 
    "We tend to be patronizing about the poor in a very specific sense, which is that we tend to think,
  • Oh how I wish "Spend the Day at Work" was an appropriate answer to this question.

    Sigh.

  • Based on the last two Wednesdays of liquid lunches, I'd say work. I had to go to a meeting immediately after having a drink at lunch and people were entertained. LOL!

  • Bowling, pool, darts, foozball. Basically, all the tavern arts are better with a pint or five at hand.

    I would add baseball to the list, but I'm pretty sure the amount of beer required to make baseball interesting to me would land me in the hospital.

  • I'm so trying drunk cleaning this Friday.

    I have to agree with PP; it's easier to ask what isn't better when drunk?

    Slainte!
    my read shelf:
    Jenni (jenniloveselvis)'s book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)
  • Watching non-intellectually demanding TV / movies.  So, The Simpsons (NOT Mad Men).

    I am the 99%.
  • eating cheese fries.  All the deliciousness, none of the guilt and worrying about looking like a pig for eating a whole order of cheese fries all by yourself.

    Really any eating done while drunk is awesome... I love being drunk and eating at 2am, it reminds me of my college days.  It's like the prize for making it through the drinking and not puking or passing out.

  • Watching Fox news.

  • Board games like Beyond Balderdash and Cranium Pop 5 are funny in their own right, but they are HILARIOUS when played drunk. 
  • Seeing the ILs. Only time I made myself as buzzed as possible as quick as possible.

    I'm pretty useless otherwise. 

    Oh, hanging out with DH when I'm overly annoyed with him over stupid stuff. So I guess as PMS relief, lol. I'm much nicer to him when I have a buzz and he's commented on it plenty.

  • Law school.

    Except for the part where you spend class praying not to be called on.

    What? You never had a lunch of half a bottle of wine and spoonful of peanut butter?  That makes you better than me?  Pfffft.

    FTW!!!

    Actually, I've done this several times in Mexico when Fox was the only english-station that would come in.

  • With a pretty good buzz on, not really drunk:

    a. clipping the dogs nails (really, I think 'cause I'm more relaxed)

    2. trimming my own hair ('cause I don't give a sh*t)

    Edited for spelling- I may be a little drunk now

    I have to watch Mad Men first on Sunday nights, when I first open the wine, and then finish with GCB.  It doesn't work out well in the reverse order.

  • Playing Jeopardy. I swear. Its like I don't over-think my answers and just yell out the first thing that comes to mind, which results in more guesses and therefore more right answers!

  • For some reason, my latent spanish skills come out when I'm drunk.  I think I've learned too many parts of other languages since then, so I have to think to translate, but when I'm drunk it just spills out.  Or at least I think it does :)
