Have you ever done something you regret while drunk?

I had a very poor understanding of drinking alcohol responsibly in my early 20's ... After moving to a new city and not knowing anyone I became depressed and began to drink more often.. there were a few times when I went overboard and became completely wasted... 

There is a certain memory that pops into my head every so often...  I remember being drunk on the dance floor and a guy frequently shoving me and pushing me. I got pissed and smacked him on the back a few times (not very hard but hard enough to scare him) and then threw my drink at him and yelled. That was completely uncalled for and I deserved to be punched in the face, but the guy was actually nice to me (which completely caught me off guard)  He actually said he was sorry and for some reason, the sincere look of concern on his face struck me to the core... I felt so guilty and ashamed of myself I went to the bathroom and started to cry in the bathroom stall.I made my way home, passed out and woke up the next morning remembering him . I couldn't believe how I behaved, and i completely regretted it. After that, I never drank again... I've been completely sober for almost 10 years now but I still remember the look on that guy's face and how bad i felt...  i tend to dwell on it a little every now and then... 

Do you have any regrets?  what do you tell yourself to move forward?

what should I tell myself to help me move on and not feel so bad?

    Actually, I have not.  Apparently this is a sign that my personality is well integrated.  I do not do things when drunk that I wouldn't do sober.

    I guess I'm lucky, because I get nauseous and puke when I drink too much, which I hate, so I've never been drunk.  Besides, if you can't remember having fun, it's not really fun.

    You certainly have quite a vivid memory for someone who was drunk at the time.  Great story.

    When I was first dating my husband, I had a few too many and was holding him down tickling him. (He hates being tickled.) He finally struggled away without hurting me and said "You're being MEAN. See you later." And left. 

    That made me realize I WAS being mean. I was a mean drunk. I said and did cruel things, things I wouldn't say or do if I was sober. That was about 20 years and was the last time I got drunk. I have since quit drinking entirely. 

    Yes, that guilty and ashamed feeling is a powerful motivator to drink responsibly, to live alcohol free.
