drunken mistake
Regrettable intoxicated decision
A drunken mistake is something regrettable done while intoxicated—a hookup, a text to an ex, a tattoo, a fight.
The phrase often serves as explanation or excuse: Last night was a drunken mistake.
It implies the person wouldn't have done it sober, shifting blame partly to the alcohol.
