drunk texts

Regrettable bar correspondence

Drunk texts are messages sent while intoxicated, typically late at night, characterized by poor spelling, excessive emotion, and regrettable confessions or declarations.

The term captures both the act and the artifact: I woke up and checked my drunk texts from last night.

These messages often go to exes, crushes, or anyone the sender wouldn't contact sober, making them a reliable source of morning-after shame.

The verb form is drunk text: Please don't let me drunk text him.
