Just out of curiosity, have you ever been guilty of PWI (Posting While Intoxicated) in the BiggerPockets forums? Bonus points for PWH stories.

    LOL! I have a couple buildings where you could probably catch a buzz by standing in the hall. Next time I go over I'll be sure do a post ;)

    @Jim K. I was very tempted to ask a former member here "If he was drunk when he posted that?" He was a smart guy but made some pretty outrageous  posts. He was kindly asked to leave.

    In which case, Ned, let me hasten to assure you that I have never been tipsy, buzzed, or drunk posting on this site and never will be. I did say something stupid and bigoted over in another thread that I most definitely should NOT have said (of course I thought it was hilarious and perfectly appropriate at the time), and it got me thinking.

    PWH = posting while high?

    Innocent until proven otherwise.

    I don't recall doing it, but I probably did 10 years ago.  It feels like something I would have done.

    It all makes sense now. Only a guy on meth would have such a laser focus on anti-wholesaling! :D

    I don't get drunk and rarely even drink. It is counter productive to a good life. Alcohol is expensive and damages your body / brain. My tenants on the other hand, get drunk all the time.

    I've Posted While Irritated, especially early afternoon before nap #2.  Not good to be on BP in a bad mood.

    Seriously, I've been sober for 10 years now. Had I been on here pre-2009, it would not have been good. 

    Philosophical and sappy essays would have abounded with 80s ballads blaring in the background for the full experience.  Que Streets of Lonely Hearts by Slaughter for effect.

    Glad you post grounded, Jim.  Scary sometimes:), but glad. I enjoy your knowledge and opinions.

    My wife is 19 weeks pregnant.  The very real, but seldom spoken rule in our house goes something like this....

    If momma ain't drinking....then I ain't drinking.
