You were buzzed. You went on social media and made some comments that you would never post if you were sober. The next day do you run back and delete them all?
Otherwise, I leave it. Nobody really cares, anyway. They're not gonna remember you the next day and call you out like "hey weren't you that guy that said Daffy Duck had leather-daddy energy and that you would die on that hill?"\
No because the regret is mostly from a slight tone difference that I noticed seconds after posting, others don't care and if deleting keeps my name on it that just makes it look worse than it is.
I mean state of mind, judgement, and especially impulse. That's not to say caffeine has a huge effect there, but I could see it resulting in people posting things they may otherwise think 3 times about before moving on.
And another user mentioned ambien, so there are definitely more options.
That's probably got more to do with the sugar high often associated. Chocolate, tea, cola, and more contain caffeine. I just have simple caffeine tablets on my desk.
Zolpidem* and others are not over the counter medications, at least not here. You need a prescription to get them, it's kinda sad thinking how many people depend on medication to then run into situations like this.
**Ambien is just expensive Zolpidem with a brand name on it*
I read a social media expert thread that essentially pointed out that the news cycle is now so rapid that doing nothing for a couple of days is better than doing anything because any response at all will be met with more news cycle.
The sober mind should always have authority over the non-sober mind and be able to overwrite it, no?
Public introxication laws come to mind, I think the logic applies. It also explains some of my own thoughts. If the mind with authority puts the mind without authority in charge, what happens is on the mind with the authority.
If you use it as traditional social media, then yes, including Lemmy.
I try very hard not to post any personal information and I periodically delete my account, so I personally don't care what anyone thinks about my posts.
I'd reread them sober, and then decide whether or not to keep them based on if they'd impact my future hiring prospects. If it's just a bit silly that's nbd
I don't drink anymore and never drank to excess, but I sure discovered that what they say about Ambien is true, because of the deep thoughts that I posted on Facebook in the throes of it. I learned to log out of my social media accounts and put my phone across the room. It's not a joke.

Is this a time-sensitive question, OP?
Usually I delete them immediately after posting while still drunk. There's something about clicking post that makes me immediately feel self-cringe.
If it's offensive to somebody else and upsetting them, yep. Delete.
If it's only bad because it's embarrassing to you, no. Own it.
Nah I'm usually high af whenever I post anything, so I just let everything I post stand as a monumennt to high me.
Hell no. I’m accountable for what I say, even when drunk. I don’t try to erase my past or hide.
Only if I confessed to a crime or doxxed myself.
Otherwise, I leave it. Nobody really cares, anyway. They're not gonna remember you the next day and call you out like "hey weren't you that guy that said Daffy Duck had leather-daddy energy and that you would die on that hill?"\
It's fine.
Nah leave em up as a reminder you have an alcohol problem and need help

Basically the end of this clip by Gianni. EDIT: with the intro it does fit as me-to-also-me, if I cared a bit more
end
Hmm. It's too late now to delete it... Now we just have to live with it.
I just don't drink, it's not helpful to anyone anyways
I mean *buzzed* is a more flexible word than *drunk*, applicable even for too much caffeine.
A high on caffeine does not make you less alert. Sleep deprivation might though

Yes.
I make separate comments either doubling down or making fun of myself
I end up banned from the community and have to change id to post.
Q.E.D.
Just add "in Minecraft"

This is sort of like are you thinking with your brain or your cock. There's usually a bad outcome when your penis over rules your sober brain.
im one of those people with little to no filter so my drunk posts would not be to different than sober on that front.
Get off social media. Problem solved.
Including lemmy?
If you use it as traditional social media, then yes, including Lemmy.
I try very hard not to post any personal information and I periodically delete my account, so I personally don't care what anyone thinks about my posts.
I leave em up bc it feels lame to immediately delete. But I might revisit and delete days later just to clean up my page, profile, whatever.

Comments online aren't important enough to be worth deleting.
