Pregret is a slang term that refers to the feeling a person has when he still wants to do something he knows he will regret. The term is a combination of "pre" and "regret."
This feeling is typically accompanied by too many alcoholic drinks that impair his judgment. Pregret may still occur without any alcoholic consumption. Other obsessions, such as people pleasing or vanity, may be the driving force for pregret.
