Yikes

I don't understand how people can stand the embarrassment of getting into that kind of "completely and totally out of it" state repeatedly (not saying she necessarily does, but I know some people do)

The only time I've been down to the "putting bodily waste in the wrong place" levels out "out of it" was one of my first times heavily drinking, in this case my bedroom was the bathroom. Apparently I came downstairs with my pants down crying (I was ~21) and asking for "a mop or something". I couldn't even stomach the thought of alcohol for 2+ weeks after that and have never let myself get that drunk again
