Biting people while drunk....

[Davepen]

Right, this is pretty random, but I just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this.


I bite people, when very drunk.

Usually always good friends, male or female, but very rarely girls I have just met.

Usually strong enough to leave teeth marks but not to draw blood.


This used to happen quite often a few years back, it went away for a while, but came back the other day when a girl I had just met/was snogging, turned away, at which point I decided to bite her arm (I cant remember this, got told the next day) she responded by throwing her drink in my lap and biting me back.

Now I know the solution here is probably just to not get so drunk I cant remember (this was a rather vicious work night drinking session that ended with me trying to walk the 8 miles home at 3:30am) but was just wondering if anyone ever does this/has this done to them?

Many thanks.

Haha
This sadly, is not a joke.

Like I said, it had been about 2 years since it had happened, I used to think it was due to a tight jaw from a fondness of certain substances... but this is not the case.

It is to do with HEAVY drinking, as when this had happened, or has happened before, I had been drinking lots of shots, and have ended up not remembering much, which is something I have been working my way out of pretty well in recent years (I blame my boss as a bad influence constantly buying Jager)

It must just be some primal instinct inside me that comes out when drunk? I must say I have never bitten a total random, or even any men unless they are very good friends, so thankfully I have never been glassed, but like you say, do this to the wrong girl I may get more than just the drink thrown at me.

I just wanted to share with GD as I thought it was pretty random, it seems from a quick Google there are a few people out there with the same issue, there is also a Facebook group dedicated to it.

Agnes, if your sister's other half ever dumps her because of this, hook me up, would be good to have someone like "mentally" minded who wouldn't glass me

I'm thinking that next time I'm out, I may take some chewing gum, or maybe use a straw to bite on? (obviously as well as sticking to a single type of drink and not indulging too heavily) I never have an urge to bite things or people while sober so it's a little strange.

 

[Davepen]

Ha.
I have never bitten anything like an ear or finger, usually shoulders or arms, and it's always in an affectionate way (altho that's debatable on how the other person feels about it)

 

[Davepen]

You enjoy a mouthful of meat. Nothing wrong with that, although are you sure this may not mean anything else?

Ha, I honestly don't know. It is linked to heavy drinking, so that is obviously my solution.

I just thought it was pretty random, a therapist would probably have a field day with me

 

[Davepen]

clearly have anger issues, biting seems like an attempt at masking any anger you may have.
in your example you said the girl you just met turned away - sounds like some sort of anger/controlling thing..

for your sake I think you should lay off the booze.

I wouldn't say anger issues, I'm a pretty calm person, but yes to laying off large amounts of booze everything in moderation.

As said above, it is always done in an affectionate way, and never hard enough to cause bruising.

 

[Davepen]

Everyone is different I suppose

Just wanted to share the randomness of it, some of you guys take things wayyy too seriously

 

[Davepen]

My mate just headbutts people, not hard, just kinda like a nudge, and then follows it up with "**** yeah!", but never biting.

I also know a guy that head butts people, hard :| I think a playful bite to a friend is better than a head butt

 

[Davepen]

really? is that why people throw drinks at you then bc their having a laugh?

Ha.
That has only happened the once, and she did see the funny side of it once she had bitten me back

 

[Davepen]

wow. weird.

my sister got bit at a night club, guy dancing near here just.....bit her on the hand. WAS IT YOU!!!!?

No, definitely not me, I've never bitten a total stranger before, usually really good friends, but occasionally a girl I have been getting friendly with for a little while

 

[Davepen]

THIS !!!!!

seriously if you can;t control yourself don't put yourself in a position through drink where you lose control. Today biting, tomorrow ????

Holy exaggeration Batman!

 

[Davepen]

Seriously stop drinking or you'll end up in some sticky situations

If you were to bite me in a pub/club I wouldn't think twice about sticking my glass in your face

awwww dont be like that guy! me and you might hit it off

 

[Davepen]

really...... what if he bites someone who isn't that understanding ? If he tried to take a chunk out of me I'd seriously stove his head in. Also its a good indicator he obviously has no self control when drunk, so the best thing to do is not get mullered to the point where he likes chowing down on people

Ive never bitten a total random, nor do I do it very often.

It's usually close friends that are kinda used to it, as said it had been a few years since it has happened.

It is a way of showing affection I suppose, but it's a little odd!

I have in recent years learned to control my drinking, but in my younger years it was more of an issue.

Was just interested to see if anyone else had experienced it, or knew any reason for it, as it is quite a strange thing to do... altho people do do strange things when alcohol is involved.

 

[Davepen]

I wouldn't say its a SERIOUS problem, as it only ever happens if I'm totally off my face, which now I've grown up a lot, is very few and far between, if it all.
