Never Drink and Dress...

[Miss Mandy]

Dear friends,

I fell off the horse on Monday and did something stupid. I take medications for depression and anxiety, but I was is Mandy-mode and decided to drink a Manhattan on top of it. Bad Idea! I got brave, called my mom and let it slip that I am a crossdresser. She though I was joking so I face timed her and she saw Mandy for the first time.. She thought I was playing a trick with her but then she got really pissed...
She thought it was my wife because we look and dress almost alike. But then she figured it out and said we both need to see a professional!


Well luckily, my wife was home for lunch and we called her back and convinced her it was a joke...all is good now. I have talked to her since and all seems well. I almost rang the bell permanently :(

Moral of the story: Don't drink and dress...

Hugs,

Mandy

I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time! :) You facetimed her?! Too funny! Glad it all worked out.

Hugs,
Katie

Have never heard a good result from Drunken Dial.

[Judy-Somthing]

That's pretty wild.

I got pretty drunk one night while on this site in boy mode.
The next day when I got up I found that I left my computer on and on my About me page! My wife doesn't know how much I like dresses.

When I was 16 my mother caught me a few times dressed in the girl clothes she kept in the attic.
She said don't make a mess out of the closets and that I was just going through a phase.

My mother doesn't know that I'm still in the phase.

That is a very funny story.
I do not mean the medications and such, just the end result.
You are very pretty in your avatar.

That is an incredible story!

When I drink and dress I end up being completely rediculous. I normally end up doing housework until all hours of the morning while dancing about singing Icona Pop. I wake up to find the house clean, and a wig that's Rubix cube level tangled. Possibly also with angry wife whom I'd foolishly woken up while I thought I was being quiet.

I'm glad you managed to smooth the whole thing over!

Well it's over for now but wait until she tells the rest of the family about your big joke as they all sit around the Thanksgiving dinner table.

Mandy,
I chose not to drink when I go to my social meetings, I have to drive thirty miles so getting stopped wouldn't go down well with my wife. We were invited by a wedding party to join them , I decided not to but I'm worried that someone might have fun at my expense and spike my drink, I feel a CDer is a prime target to have some fun with.

I'm glad it worked out OK with your mum, I'm still debating whether to tell mine or not, she may be 87 but is still active and has two jobs, one is helping in a charity shop so , at some point she is going to find out what I'm buying and wonder why .

[Suzie Petersen]

Wait what ... You were drinking Manhattens ... before lunch!

Oh and yes, I'm sure mom doesn't suspect a thing :)

[DeeArel]

I dress and then, drink. Seems you had the order reversed and that through everything out of balance.

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Mandy:hugs:, There are two groups that can help you.

Mothers against Drunk Dressing.

Friends don't let friends Dress Drunk.

Both of these organizations' can help you recover...:daydreaming:...

Alcohol can be some powerful stuff. I can no longer drink it because of medical issues but when I did, I managed to keep myself pretty well under control. No arrests, no bar fights, etc. Being an entertainer, I saw a lot of people who weren't able to maintain that control.

Knowing now how alcohol and your medicine can interact, you should probably either figure out how to maintain the control or skip one or the other. Probably skip the alcohol.

I still miss the taste of alcohol though and I haven't had a drink in about seven years.

[lynnstar]

I dont drink anymore. I did when i was in my 20s and up to late 30s but that was quite a few years ago (over 25). When i did drink, i tend to get silly and sometimes stubborn. I can see myself telling or saying i crossdresss to someone and enjoy doing so ( crossdressing) and consequences be da----! That is untill the next day. Oh boy! I guess its good i dont have a taste for alcohol anymore.

[NicoleScott]

I don't drink much, but I don't drink and dress at all, for this reason: I would have to pee more often and "getting to it" (pulling down pantyhose, etc.) with glamour-length stick-on nails is, at best, difficult.

[Angie G]

I think you need to go stand in the corner for what you did to your mother your a bad girl Miss Mandy.:hugs:

It's not unusual to read posts of how someone going out dressed for the first time will do so after having a "couple" of drinks for a bit of dutch courage. This is never a good idea. You need to have your wits about you especially on those early trips.

I can remember that having bought a new coat I was itching to wear it. Having been out (drab) for a few beers with the boys on getting home that little demon spoke to me telling me to dress and give the coat an outing. So even though it's quite late and a safe neighborhood, setting off out of the front door dressed when you're trying to keep your little secret just that, a secret, isn't the smartest thing to do. Would I have done it stone cold sober, not on your life!

Well luckily, my wife was home for lunch and we called her back and convinced her it was a joke...all is good now.

It's your life and you get to decide what's "good" and what's not, but I'd dispute that it's all good now. You've just returned to the comfort of the status quo.

[Jane G]

Well it turned out okay in the middle at least. So I can admit to splitting my sides at some of the replys . In the end though your mum knows, honest she knows.��

You've heard the expression, "Don't drink and drive" well I use the expression, "Don't drag and drink. That beind said, I do enjoy a nice glass of wine while being Sabrina.
Love, Sabrina

Hmmmmm,
Liquid courage, or stupid in a bottle?

I totally agree, Dee! I screw up my preparations while becoming Sherry enuff without booze making me forget things and make MORE mistakes!:doh:

But, going out to drink with the girls AFTER I'm all dolled up is a completely different matter!:drink:

[Dana44]

I don't drink and dress except for Friday night. We stay in and we are in nighties then have cheese and summer sausage and wine. A great romantic night and we share our thoughts. But sometimes drink a little much but I stay the same but wake up with a headache with my nightie on. LOL

[Marcelo]

Alcohol is liquid courage to do things you are normally afraid or too wise to do when sober. Sometimes I refer to it as truth serum. Be careful...

She probably does now.:D

Moral of the story, Get a better mom. I'm kidding I'm kidding xD

[DaniChan]

Reading this thread all I could think was:
"Alcohol, 'cause no good story starts with a salad"
And "Here, hold my beer and watch this!"
:D

[susangirl]

Mandy, I love your story. It gave me a good laugh. I have really never had a problem drinking and dressing but I can understand the issues that could arise. I can go just about anywhere dressed as long as I'm out of my home town area. I have found if I have just the right amount alcohol ( one or two ) it frees up the mind and the I really don't give a shit what people might think. I have never had any issues while out dressed. Good luck with your mother.

[Sheila11]

Famous last words normally fueled by alcohol,
"Hey (mom), watch this."

[Samantha_Smile]

If you face timed her and spoke to her, then she knows and is now happy with denial. Your mum of all people should know your voice.

On a serious note, Mandy, please be careful mixing antidepressants with alcohol. I'm not a doctor but know that several SSRIs can potentiate alcohol and some can lead to catostrophic low blood pressure.

Be safe AND be pretty!

[Stephanie47]

I'm an in-home crossdresser. However, when I do have the opportunity to go for a drive I definitely make sure I have not consumed ANY alcohol. I would not want to be field tested for sobriety because a police officer smelled alcohol on my breath. Walking a straight line heel to toe in heels? Not on your life! I do take medication that conflicts with alcohol, but, a single drink at home in OK. Not on the road.

[MissTee]

Many find alcohol to be a lot like a truth serum. My worst is sending e-mails after 2 or so glasses of wine. I try not to do that anymore. :drink::o

[Judy-Somthing]

Luckily in the past, a couple of threads I started and said things I shouldn't have while drunk

[ChristinaK]

You girls just Crack me up! Mandy, great story. I doubt if your mom believes it, but it did allow you to give her an out to accept it gracefully.

Drinking and dressing never ends well. After a tough night shift on my Friday, I went home and slammed some vodka. Got fully dressed in wig, makeup and donned my favorite Vanity Fair nylon robe. Went into the backyard and walked around inspecting the plants and having a great time. Next door, the neighbors were in their backyard playing in the pool. My head and shoulders rose above the fence! Don't know if they saw.

I sure sequential lied down on a chaise lounge and opened up my robe to get a little sun. 4 hours later I woke up to a severe sunburn on my chest, with VERY clear lines where my bra was. The area below my boobs was white because of the angle of the lounge back being about 45 degrees. The sunburn ended on my belly where my robe came together at a button.

It was tough to explain to my wife. Not sure if she bought it. Several months later, I swam with my son and his wife. In the shadows, my burn looked okay. In the sun, the outline of the boobs part of the bra on my upper chest and the bra lines were still clearly visible. Tried to stay submerged the whole time!

It took AYEAR for those lines to disappear!

Haven't drank and dressed since, that's for sure!
