Most drunk confessions are pretty run-of-the-mill, maybe someone starts crying and spills about their depression, insecurities, or general unhappiness in their personal life. However, there are times when drunk confessions veer into even darker areas better suited for a therapy than happy hour.
In a popular Reddit thread, people shared the most intense drunk confessions they've witnessed, and it ranges from criminal to downright strange.
Before you continue reading, you should know - some of these entries are graphic and potentially triggering.
1. Analytica0 had to chill out with a woman's murder confession.
Bartender here..................so many stories............probably most terrifying is the woman who came into my bar years ago and had 2 shots and a drink and was real quiet for the first hour. Then she called me over and asked if I could call the police. I said what was the problem. She then told me that she had just stabbed and sliced the neck of a mugger in the alley and wanted to make sure he was dead first before she reported it.
NOTE: police were called, mugger found dead, woman not arrested or charged. She denied ever telling me that she wanted to wait an hour before calling the police----claimed that she had passed out in the alley and woke up then came into the bar in shock.
2. sportsmaniac11 is the only one who knows his friend's trauma.
My friend drunkenly told me his mother molested him when he was a kid and I am the only person who ever knows. Instantly understood why sometimes he doesn’t want to be at home alone with his mom at times.
3. chompalligator still doesn't know whether their neighbor killed people.
I had a neighbor, she was young and a serious alcoholic. She'd been a nurse before I met her but was under some type of investigation because pills at her job had gone missing.
One night she was super drunk and told me that she had put pillows over some of the elderly patients faces and suffocated them because she couldn't stand to see them suffer anymore (bedsores and just in pain).
I asked her about it when she'd sobered up and she denied saying that to me.
She passed away about three years ago so I'll never know if what she said was true or not.
4. altonssouschef's ex friend robbed people.
That they steal money from passed out drunk hookups. That’s the last time this person came to hang out at my place.
5. bretth1100's ex had some family stories.
My ex boyfriend told me one night (he moved here from Vietnam when he was 14) that his cousin is a gay prostitute and would fly to Hong Kong periodically to make bank....he’d slip something in his John’s drink at the bar to make them go to sleep just before heading to the hotel room. They’d get to the hotel room, John would end up falling asleep, he’d empty out the wallet and take off.
6. DrunkenPorcupine was embarrassed for a long time.
My now ex-girlfriend confessed to having to wipe my ass after I drunkenly took a dump during post-21st birthday shenanigans. Amuses me now but I was embarrassed for a long time after.
7. TessaBrooding received a terrifying threat.
“I know you’ll never love me. I wish I had raped you that time we were alone in a room.” While we were both drunk and kinda alone at another party.
8. WrestlingWoman wishes they could've done something for their friend.
My friend through 20 years broke down in the middle of a bar and told me, a guy from our high school class raped her at a party in 10th grade, and none of us heard her cry from the room upstairs.
9. taylors77's old coworker had serious addiction demons.
I work at a bar and our staff had a huge problem with heroin a couple years ago. It was to the point that management was regularly having to sweep the bathroom for needles. Anyway, one of the guys was a friend of mine and I thought he was an overall good guy despite his crippling addiction. One night we were having a few drinks after work and he got a little too drunk and admitted that a couple months prior he had bought stuff from someone he didn’t know and didn’t trust so he called up a girl he’d used with before and told her he had stuff and could he come over.
He let her go first and she immediately had a terrible reaction to whatever was in the drugs; seizing and ODing in front of him. He left her house without notifying the police or trying to help. He ODd himself a couple months after.
10. Algernon-has-flowers noped the hell out of there.
My male best friend at the time confessed me while drunk that he wanted to abuse my female best friend and that just the idea of it made him hard. Since the only way to get to her was with my help he insisted that it would be great for us three to go to a separate room (we were at a party). He said that while he was with her I could either watch or join them since I was also "pretty f*ckable"
Of course, I told him to go to hell. I grabbed my best friend and we both left the party. Needless to say, I broke ties with him and he can't get close to us.
The three of us were 17 at the time.
11. StupidSTUPIDLogin's friend barely escaped.
Not me, but a friend. He was out with a girl he didn't know too well & they got drunk; she said she was initiated into a gang. They just collected stray people they didn't know, took them to a warehouse, beat them up, & when they were thoroughly beaten/broken down she & the other recruits administered an overdose of heroin. Killing them.
There are weird people out there; you need to be careful.
12. SIPwater met a woman by hearing about her abortion.
Not long ago my friend was outside for a smoke at a small house party and a girlfriend of a mutual friend came up to him and decided to let him know that she had gotten an abortion earlier that week. She didn’t even introduce herself, just went straight to that.
13. turingtested stays away from coworkers now.
This is a doozy. I was about 22 and went out drinking with my coworker who was the same age. We're both women, and she asked me if I ever looked at porn. I said sure. She said she'd "stumbled across" some child pornography and it confused her because the kids "looked like they enjoyed it." So she looked up more to find out if it was "really so bad."
I freaked out, and tried to explain that it was illegal to look at, and that children can experience sexual pleasure while being damaged. She clearly thought she was just innocently researching the subject, and didn't seem to understand why I was so upset.
An older coworker we both liked and trusted explained the same thing to her.
I have no idea if she was a pedophile, or just didn't get why looking at child pornography for any reason is bad. (Outside of law enforcement.)
10 years later I'm still wary of coworkers. Some things you're better off not knowing.
14. beerbellybegone heard a colleague planning something wrong.
Was on leave from the army with some mates and met a fellow from an adjacent unit. We all proceeded to get good and drunk when the fellow from the other unit told us about how he fabricated an after-action report because he had killed a local and reported that he felt threatened.
We discussed it the next day when sobering up and ran it up the chain of command. Turns out he never actually did what he claimed to do, but was probably thinking about it and described his plan to us in a way that made it sound like he'd already done it.
About two weeks later scuttlebutt said that he was quietly sent to another base for "reasons".
15. Moounie learned far too much about their step dad in one night.
My parents were both drunk, and got in a fight which escalated their emotions apparently, and my step dad had a mental breakdown due to the situation and came in my room to vent about it, and basically admitted to me that when he was 16 he got a girl pregnant and they had my step brother, and choked her during an argument. She didn't press charges because her mother said don't ruin his life over it, so that's how he got away with it.
After that he started talking about how he's actually killed people and how he's really about that life, spent his teenage years hussling and selling drugs and never got caught cus he had a fake id or some shit. All the years I've known this guy we barely talked and he threw all this at me one random night where I barely knew what was going on lol.
16. bitchkitty818 knows which uncle to avoid.
My uncle told a bunch of strangers in a bar that if I wasn't his niece he would totally bang me. Bit awkward.
17. yellow_jellybean's ex-boyfriend opened the vault.
My ex-boyfriend told me that his high school girlfriend was sexually assaulted by her doctor. He burned that doctors office to the ground in the middle of the night.
18. CallahanWalnut dodged a potential bullet.
Was making out with a drunk girl and she wanted to fuck and she said she was on birth control. We didn’t f*ck cuz I didn’t want to have sex with a drunk girl
2 weeks later we’re both sober and she wants to hookup but she wasn’t on birth control so I had to get condoms. Later on that night she told me she hasn’t been on birth control in months. Scared the hell out of me.
19. selcouth_devotee's mom was a little too honest.
I was an accident. Usually my mam says like oh I always wanted kids and wanted to get pregnant young.... but nope. During a wine-filled rant about life she revealed I was, in fact, an accident. I kinda figured, she was 17.
20. laterdude found out just how awful their friend was.
I went to a dart tournament with an old college buddy last year, who is now married. Anyways, he hit it off with his fellow finalist who also happened to be sporting a wedding ring. The two got so plastered on the free drinks they won that soon the talk of tungsten shafts devolved into them having their tongues in one another with her hand on his shaft.
She took an Uber to the bar so my friend decides to be a gentleman, tosses me the keys to his Tahoe and says we can drop her off. So he folds down the rear passenger seats and lays down a few blankets in the back for the drive. I try not to watch but hey, sometimes a designated driver has to use the rear view mirror and it was pretty clear they were 69ing in the back.
When I confronted my friend about his infidelity after we dropped her off, he confessed that "It ain't cheatin' if you're both eatin'."
"But how can you do that?"
The dude was too drunk to realize I was referring to his presumed guilty conscience and instead provided me with a step-by-step guide on how I could also learn to neg women and speedily seduce them into 69ing in the back of my ride. It was terrifying someone was still quoting The Game in 2018!
