As a tee-total, never. I sometimes post when I’m in a bad mood though, which can have a similar effect. ---

Once, last Christmas, late. It was pretty incoherent. ---

Today is my sobriety birthday, actually – I’ve been clean and sober for 23 years. It’s a good time to think about all the things I’m grateful for. One of them is that even at my worst – and my worst wasn’t pretty – I never did anything like this. 😃 ---

I have, and I have regretted it. Somehow I think I’m hilarious when drunk - which is usually not the case. I try to refrain from it as much as possible. ---

However, I’m a never say never kinda gal so I’ll lock in my final answer of no, not yet! ---

The funny part is, my grammar and syntax are impeccable when I’m intoxicated. Or at least, I think they are. ---

Yes. And I have made an ass out of myself on way too many occasions. Sometimes I consider a name change just to clean the slate… then I realize I’d just do it all over again so what’s the point. ---

I’m clean and sober for 20 years now and only post from work. But I cannot forget the joy of the [Monkey Butler](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=37864) thread. ---

I have before but since I’m usually at work more often than not it’s when I’m just generally pissed off. Dealing with customers is easy because you respond immediatley, so you can’t afford to be a smart ass. Looking at someone elses post, you have time to think about it and come up with some really ignorant shit to say. I try to think about it before I post but a lot of the time you just fire away, not really thinking about what the other poster feels, etc. Sounds like a New year resolution in the making. When I say dealing with a customer, I’m talking about seconds. A reply to a post could take a few minutes. ---

Pretty much everything I posted that first wild night of Amnesia Weekend was under the influence. ---

Almost all of may ‘maximum snark’ posts are while under the influence. Hey, it beats drunk dialing. ---
