personally, I generally use the rough formula:

X = desire to do thing

Y = foreseeable/predictable/etc negatives

Does the activity rate a "still worth it" when considering x -y, if so, do it and to hell with the rest. If not don't. If it hits a grey area wait, and if you want to do it, at some point you'll probably find yourself drunk enough to do it
