How come I always have regret..
when I wake up after drinking..?
For example.. If I posted this drunk, I would wake up and feel like such an idiot and have this sinking feeling of regret, almost makes me throw up.. yet if I post it sober (now) I wouldn't even think about it.. I think about conversations and actions, none being that offensive, and get the feeling pretty hard. I think it's because I'm too considerate of other people's thoughts of me, so I don't overanalyze things. I should mention that I have some social anxiety.. anyways.. messes up my entire day.. (and days after that) not a huge deal.. but anybody?

You can't call it any sort of regret because the fact is your the one that chose to drink, and especially if you feel like "shit" the next few days, it sounds like you drink because of your social anxiety, you just need the right friends or someone to show you , you shouldn't have to rely on booze to make you feel different. Just build yourself up slowly don't move to fast on yourself, what makes you feel the biggest reason why you have this sort of anxiety?

Regret is for things you wish you could have done or in your case not done.
As Storie said... why waste your time regretting something that you cannot change now? Either learn from it, change your ways and become a better person so you can avoid the situation in the future. Or just sit there laminating about it which is pretty pointless. Most people do the latter as human beings are very lazy.

What i've realized - with any substance is that when you start doing it for the wrong reasons it starts effecting your body differently.
When I was going through a substance abuse problem I would lie in bed all night after having done drugs feeling miserable and I'd feel that way for days afterwards. I also attained that after a few months of solid drinking - However, when I first got into it, it wasn't like that. It only became like that when I started using drugs as a medium to mask my problems and help me forget. I think it's more or less anxiety, get to the root of your problem and try to use alcohol as a way of enhancing your night, don't make it your sole motive. Do some soul searching and feel better

Having social anxiety disorder leads you to drink more because you get more outgoing and loud. When you wake up you think back to what you said and did and feel a bit embaressed because you are generally not like that, i'm assumming from what you said about social anxiety. So unless your one of those annoying drunks who just repeats 1 setence over and over, or your waking up naked with a banana in your butt then you shouldn't worry too much. Most of the time at shows and parties everyone is really drunk and they don't remember exactly what you said. The fact that you remember what you did is a good start. Blacking out almost everytime you drink is the first sign of alcoholism, puking up blood and not learning from that experience is the final sign of alcoholism. If you are just feeling shy about your crazy drunk self then maybe you should take a look at your anxiety. Learn to fix that in a sober setting and drink more moderately so that you are having fun but not jumping around, rolling over cars like Carlos drunk. (lol) Don't overanalyze your actions, just identify the roots and causes and try new ways to make it better.

All these people that say life is too short for regrets must not know this feeling you speak of....sadly, I know it all too well. I feel like an idiot after an evening of drinking too much -- like no one wants to talk to me and like I acted inappropriatley. It's not every time I drink, but it's every time I have had too much or any time where I have to be told what I did the night before.
I like booze, I start drinking it I do not want to stop. Some people know their limits and are able to act within them and do not do anything they might 'regret', even if something as little as a drunk post. I have had to learn to pace myself - to set a limit and to leave the cell phone at home =) Make yourself a set of rules, or find a drinking bud who will cut you off and you're good as gold
