That's exactly why I don't drink - I can only drink to vast excess and have done similar (but far less public) things in the distant past whilst drunk! The last night I ever drank, I fell backwards out of a first floor window. The good: Fortunately, it was mid-winter in Northern England and the rose bed below had been buried under about 3 feet of straw (hay? - soft dry yellow stuff at any rate) which cushioned my fall.
The bad: it was a rose bed in amongst that straw (hay?) and I ended up having a hell of a lot of thorns removed from my back.
The one good thing was that I was so drunk that I was completely relaxed when I fell so, apart from the aforementioned thorn-related injuries, I was fine. But no more alcohol for me - ever! Now 27 years since I have drunk any alcohol apart from one glass of champagne when I got married and one mouthful of champagne to toast my father's seventieth birthday!
