We all know that alcohol can cloud our judgment, leading to some embarrassing moments. But some folks take it to a whole new level, creating stories that are so unbelievable, they become legendary. Get ready to cringe and laugh as we dive into some of the most insane things people have done while drunk.
10 Totally Insane Things People Have Done While Drunk
Got Stuck in a Photo Stand
Birthdays are often a time for overindulgence, and Danny Melody’s 21st in Dublin was no exception. In search of a cheesy souvenir, Danny stuck his head into a leprechaun photo board. The problem? He couldn’t get it out! His friends, naturally, filmed the whole ordeal and uploaded it to YouTube, turning Danny into a viral sensation.
“I was quite drunk at the time so I wasn’t that embarrassed, but I am now looking back at it,” Danny confessed after his rescue. Don’t worry, Danny, we’ve all been there… maybe not literally.
Sold Their Car to Buy More Booze
We’ve all made questionable purchases after a few drinks, but selling something essential? That’s a new level of commitment to the party. A man from New Zealand, in the midst of an epic binge, sold his car to a stranger for $800 to keep the drinks flowing.
The next day, he’d forgotten all about it and reported his car as stolen. The truth came out when the buyer, suspecting he’d bought a stolen vehicle, checked the registration. The police got involved, and the car was returned to the very embarrassed seller. Lesson learned: maybe set a booze budget?
Gone Fishing
Fishing is a relaxing hobby for many, but one Boston man took it to an extreme after a heavy night of drinking. With an intense craving for fish, he took his boat out on the city canals, only to be caught by the Massachusetts Environmental Police.
His crime? Being too good at fishing! He’d caught 122 sea bass, far exceeding the city’s limit of eight. His fishy haul was donated to charity, though which lucky charity received the mountain of sea bass remains a mystery.
Forgotten to Finish a Burglary
In a story that could only happen in France, a burglar’s crime was interrupted by a bottle of champagne. Breaking into a house in Provins, just outside Paris, he was disturbed by the homeowners returning after a night out.
They called the police, who found the burglar inside, completely drunk and watching television. Amid stealing money, passports, and sunglasses, he’d stumbled upon a bottle of champagne and couldn’t resist. According to police, he was “very relaxed, completely intoxicated and had apparently forgotten where he was.” Talk about a bubbly bust!
Climbed a Mountain
Getting home after a night out can sometimes feel like climbing a mountain, but one Estonian man, Pavel, literally did just that. While on vacation in the Alps, Pavel left the bars of the Cervinia resort after a day of skiing and started wandering home.
Taking a wrong turn, he ended up on a ski run leading up Ventina Mountain. Undeterred by the uphill trek, Pavel scaled 2,400 meters and found a restaurant called Igloo. He broke in and was found the next morning by staff, passed out on a bench. Now that’s dedication!
Dreamed of Being a Time Traveler
Alcohol-induced delusions are common, but one man from Casper, Wyoming, took it to a new dimension. Bryant Johnson told police he was a time traveler from 2048, sent back to warn people about hostile aliens planning to attack the town the following year.
He claimed the aliens had pumped him full of booze and sent him back in time, but accidentally to 2018 instead of 2017. He demanded to speak to the town president, in true sci-fi fashion. His breathalyzer reading of .136 was, at that point, just a formality.
Had a Meltdown at Work
Ever had a bad day at work that made you want to quit in spectacular fashion? Daniel Kochanski, a court stenographer, acted on that impulse while under the influence. Instead of typing transcripts, he repeatedly typed “I hate my job” into the court records.
Over 30 transcripts were sabotaged, potentially allowing convicted individuals to appeal their sentences. Kochanski, however, defended his actions, saying, “I never typed gibberish. I always did my job 100 percent. I was let go because of substance abuse.” Ironically, not the best defense.
Bitten a Car
Men aren’t the only ones who make headlines for drunken antics. In 2014, Rhian Jeremiah from Wales bit a passing car after a night out. She’d been at an event honoring her deceased boyfriend, but that didn’t excuse her behavior.
After leaving the event, she started yelling at the occupants of a Fiat 500 and then bit the car’s frame! The bite left marks that cost £220 to repair. Seems like Rhian really took a bite out of crime… or at least, a car.
Toured Scandinavia by Taxi
A taxi home is a standard part of a night out, but one unnamed man turned it into an international adventure. After celebrating New Year’s in Copenhagen, he booked a taxi to take him home and ended up on a 372-mile ride through three countries.
Starting in Denmark, the taxi drove through Sweden and into Norway, finally reminding him that he lived in Oslo. The saga continued when he refused to pay the $2,200 fare. The driver waited outside his house all night, until the police were called in the morning. What a ride!
Got Friendly with a Rubber Dinghy
Drunken people often dream of heroic acts, but one 22-year-old in Brittany, France, took it to an unusual level. Spotting what he thought was an unconscious person in a rubber dinghy at a shipyard, he decided to give them the kiss of life.
Except, there was no person. He was found by police getting intimate with the dinghy itself, after having called both them and the fire service! While he was taken to sober up, we can only wonder if he managed to save the inflatable boat from… whatever peril he imagined it to be in.
Conclusion
From mistaken identities to epic journeys, these stories prove that alcohol can lead to some truly bizarre behavior. While we can laugh at these insane drunken mishaps, let’s also remember to drink responsibly. After all, who wants to end up as the subject of the next crazy list?
