Since you all seemed to like yesterday’s one so much, here’s another one. I love wine, and two years ago I drank it in my bedroom. I then placed it on the bedside table (which is next to my face) and fell asleep. 3 in the morning, I wake up to an almighty crash, blood and pieces of glass everywhere. I had 6 deep cuts on my chest and one shallow one on my eyelid. I then got up, went to A&E (basically an ER here in England) and waited for stitches while holding tissues to my wounds. After 5 hours (A&E is known for very, very long wait times) some nurses come out and take me in. They inspect the cuts and find that there is shards of glass inside them. They take me to be scanned, remove the glass and they stitch up the wound (3 stitches for each one except for the eyelid which has two) and send me on my way. I still have the scars from when I was an idiot. I’m not an alcoholic I drink once a week.
TL;DR: I drank wine, put it on my bedside table and it fell in the night, leaving me with cuts. A trip to A&E, a scan and 5 hours later, they stitched me and removed the glass. I still have the scars from when I was an idiot. I’m not an alcoholic I drink once a week.

We bought a case of BarLux wine glassware when they weee going out of business. Plasticware that looks like glass until you put it through the dishwasher too many times.
Life is a dance we learn as we go
This is a story of how an alcoholic learned not to keep glass next to the bed. I’m sorry you hurt yourself, but this is just one of those situations that are easily preventable.
