drunk texted
Tipsy phone regret
Drunk texted is the past tense of drunk text—to send text messages while intoxicated, typically ones you wouldn't send sober.
The messages are often embarrassing, overly emotional, or ill-advised: I drunk texted my ex at 2 a.m. and woke up mortified.
The compound verb captures a specific modern regret enabled by smartphones and alcohol.
