The Drunk Scale

So I recently found myself in the disastrous situation with a group of friends where we all seemed to be at a different level of drunkenness. Although this provided me with lots of amusement, because I didn’t appear to be the worst, it led me to thinking about all the various stages of inebriation and when we’ve gone that little bit too far…

The Tiny Bit Tipsy. We all know this delightful stage, you’ve had a couple of glasses of wine and can feel it but you’re fairly confident you will still be able to get out of bed in the morning. It’s just enough to persuade you to add a winky face to the end of that text, but not cruel enough to force you into telling your ex that you’re over them. 

The Moreishly Merry. So now you’ve reached the 4 drink mark, the texts become more cheeky and the drinks seem to go down faster. This is where you have to make the all-important decision, go all out or go home. Obviously the former is much more exciting and since you’ve had four drinks, one more can’t make a difference…

The Haphazardly Happy. You need to dance. Too much alcohol and adrenaline to sit still. Flirting with the bar tender is a necessity at this stage, and don’t forget confidently chatting to the fit guy/girl at the next-door table. This is it, the perfect drunk paradise, definitely the right decision to wear that top, you look fabulous. Then you decide to have one more…

The Shamefully Sloshed. The words are starting to slur, your foot gets stood on by some idiot’s high heel and you don’t really notice, you’re wondering if you can get away with a cheeky tactical chunder in the toilets…someone buys you another drink. 

The Painfully Paralytic. Woops. Time to start saving for that sorry/thank you meal you will have to buy for your flatmate who left the fit bird he was snogging to carry you home.
