I’ve always said the best stories to tell are often the ones you wish you didn’t have to tell. That could be something like a bad date, or in this case something you’re terrible at that’s totally basic.
Now, even if we haven’t shared ours online, chances are everyone has something like this. Growing up, I had teachers tell my parents they were concerned about my development because of how bad I was using scissors. I was a great student. I just couldn’t cut in a straight line. To this day I still struggle with this. It’s basic, everyone knows how to do it, but I can’t. It’s something I struggle with and always have.
Well, I’m not alone in not being able to do something basic. Turns out, the internet is full of people just like me. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not.
A lot of the responses to the question are very relatable. At least for me. Some of the standouts include “doing anything while someone is watching.” Right!? I melt if someone is watching. In order to take a phone call I have to go into the other room and be alone. I hate doing any sort of activity in front of people.
Another notable comment was “comforting sad people.” It should be easy, we all go through it. Yet, it’s the hardest thing in the world. Just to ask human.

You may have heard of liquid courage. It’s the term we’ve given to that phenomena where you have feelings of self-confidence and self-assuredness after consuming alcohol. For example, when you’re at the bar and you’ve had a couple of drinks and you aren’t scared to talk to that girl you’ve never met who’s sitting next to you. Usually, you wouldn’t speak to her. You’d be too shy or feel awkward. However, with liquid courage, you’re ready to approach.
Understanding Liquid Courage
In reality, the alcohol didn’t actually make you brave. In fact, alcohol causes our brain to release the chemical dopamine, which is a hormone that deals with motivation and rewards. According to The Guest House, the confidence isn’t real, the alcohol has changed our perception. That feeling of confidence and re-assuredness is actually a false sense of those things. That’s where alcohol and its dependency can become a real problem for people. We believe that confidence is real and begin to depend on alcohol to help us in those situations, creating what could be a very slippery slope.
Unfortunately, that false sense of confidence isn’t the only problem with alcohol. Truth is, people do some dumb things when they’re drinking. Sure, there are fun things, as well. However, that’s not what we’re talking about right now. To avoid creating any problems or drama, these are five things you should never do drunk.
Some things on the list are obvious, but still need to be pointed out. Others, you might need a reminder for. Hopefully, you aren’t doing any of these five things that you should never do drunk. You could get arrested, in trouble, dumped, or worse. Stick to having fun and enjoying yourself when you choose to have some drinks. In order to do that, you’re going to want to avoid making these mistakes!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
