30 of the Best Decisions People Made While Drunk

While drunken decisions have the reputation of being belligerent and embarrassing, every now and then, we benefit from our inebriation. Whether it’s inadvertently inventing PB&J French toast or deciding to open a business that ends up being wildly successful, a little booze can occasionally result in a stroke of genius. 

The following Redditors know that feeling well, and credit some major life decisions to knocking back one too many. Shoutout to the guy who drunkenly cooked an amazing pork shoulder and met his future wife on the same night. The rest of us can only hope to be so lucky.

Ultimara 3y ago Signed up for a foreign TV commercial. I didn't have the time free (new job) or a necessary passport and the production company pushed me to sort those things regardless (completely out of my comfort zone).
