This is largely a thread to demonstrate how big an idiot I am, and allow people to mock me for it. If you have similar experiences, though, please share them
I finished a week of night shifts last week. Friends and I had a reunion. Drinks were drunk. That's where the timeline becomes uncertain.
At some point, I was separated from the group. At some point I sustained fairly significant facial injuries. Whether it was someone else or I simply did the world's highest scoring faceplant, we don't know. At some point some nice person stuck a dressing on my face, took me to A&E and left me there at about 2am. Obviously because I was completely out of it, I wandered out of A&E before I could be seen and when consciousness returned I was in the middle of nowhere, covered in my own blood (and still bleeding) and scared. My wallet and phone were still on me. Queue 2 hours of wandering to find my way back to my friend's place (purely by chance) at 5am. I was taken back to A&E at 10am (where I found out I'd already been..).
Stitches, cleaning of some nasty scrapes and a ?broken nose later (have to wait for the swelling to go down) I am left feeling like the world's biggest mug. I also have a pretty large bruise on the outside of my thigh jus above the knee, which doesn't make any sense, so some people have suggested maybe I was nudged over by a car. :/
I'm going to look back and laugh at it, I hope, provided my face corrects itself and I don't have to have my nose re-set.. But the experience is a pretty scary one, in some ways I'm lucky this is the worst that happened.. Anything could have. We don't even know what did ("Have you been interfered with?" - one of my Mum's first questions after I phoned her ^^)
I've never had an experience like this, I'm not a "lout" to quote my Mum, I've drunk that much before and I know the area like the back of my hand, but clearly my tolerance was as FUBAR-ed as I was. I've seen friends of mine far more fucked up and been fine - bad luck definitely has a part to play - but I'm going to be playing it much more carefully in the future. Stupid boy. Actions have consequences.
Has anyone else had any dicey experiences or sustained interesting injuries whilst under the influence ?

The thing that's bugging me most: I have a date with a nice looking girl next week.
