Short List - During a particularly bad hangover, it’s pretty standard to enter an ultra-reflective phase, where you take a long, hard look at yourself and get pretty repulsed by what you see. It comes right before the “I can and will eat everything I can find” phase. But sometimes, on very special occasions, this happens while you’re still under the influence. This weekend, a 21-year-old guy in Wisconsin had an epiphany while drunkenly driving home and called 911 to report himself as a danger. He was told to pull over, which he did, and then wait to be arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated. It’s unclear as to whether his confession will help his case or not. We doubt he’ll let himself drunk drive again though.
Getting drunk always seems like a great idea. You forget all your problems. You do a little dancing. Do a little socializing. Meet new people and hang out with everyone at the bar. Inhibitions gone just chatting it up like the life of the party. But it all goes to shit when you’re alone. Goes downhill real quick. A drunk person by himself is a weapon of mass destruction. You take out your phone and all your skeletons start spewing out of your closet. Call your girlfriend and tell her you’ve hated her for months. Call your ex girlfriend and tell her you’ve loved her for years. Call the police and tell them you were going double the speed limit with triple the BAC. It’s a dangerous road both metaphorically and literally when you’re swerving all over the fuckin place in your Dodge Ram drunk killing people.
