Have you drank till you blacked out?

[Exterous]

I think blacking out and forgetting is just bullshit to use as an excuse in court, or to explain to your girlfriend that you didn't remember sleeping with some other girl.

Its definitely not bullshit. I have two nights that I have notable gaps in and could not tell you what happened. For example: I have absolutely no idea how I got from the club back to the hotel room for my friends bachelor party

i know when to stop because i hate throwing up.

If you drink enough throwing up is not so bad as you don't really feel it or remember doing it.

 

[IGemini]

how?

Best general advice is to have a filling meal a bit before drinking. Alcohol hits you harder if you haven't eaten and irritates your stomach lining.

Aren't you an MJ smoker? I've found that people react differently depending on when they smoke during their drinking time...it'll either work really well or give them the "spins." Can also short-circuit the hangover.

 

[Imp]

Never... I usually get tired of the taste or fall asleep before I hit that point.

I don't think I could live with the uncertainty that I may have had my hair touch the toilet... Thank goodness I'm bald.

Same, and I was in the Army where we'd get smashed nearly every night. Then when I got back and was in a frat, we'd drink even more than that.

There was only one time I "blacked out", I didn't remember going to someone's house and only vaguely remembered things after that.

Threw up everywhere lol, extremely embarrassing.

The first day, I couldn't remember a thing, then gradually I remembered more.

I never drank that much ever again...or at least drank that much in that short of a time frame.

 

[Captante]

Yes but not since I was a kid. (quite awhile back I'm afraid)

 

[qtnguyen87]

you have to do it once in your lifetime so why not!

 

[OutHouse]

yes one time. Munich OcktoberFest 1992. I remember leaving the fest grounds with my air force buddies and i sorta remember waiting for the train at the Bahnhof. my next memory is waking up around 11 the next day in the hotel room and starvin like marvin.

damn that was a good time.

Here's a very "sobering" article by the NIH on alcohol and blackouts.

blackOut is a brain damage level event.

 

[VulgarDisplay]

That would explain all the brain damage I have...

I've done it more times than I can count really. Last time I did it was a wedding a few weeks back. I remember most of the night, but people reminded me of certain stuff I have no recollection of.

From age like 16-24 I would honestly say I was a full blown alcoholic. Growing up out in the middle of nowhere surrounded by corn fields there is a whole culture dedicated to underage drinking/partying that people in bigger towns and cities are never exposed to.

Nowadays I probably only drink about once a month, and keep it to about 6 beers when I do.

 

[ch33zw1z]

Yes. I was 18. Learned my lesson, haven't drank to that point since. I've drank and gotten hangovers, etc....but not to the point where I wake up and say "wtf happened, why am I laying in a puddle of my own vomit.."

 

[OCGuy]

Is there any other way?

Actually real blackouts occur when mixing booze with a benzodiazepine.

One night I drank till I had very selective memory, which might as well been blacking out. I did a lot of shit that night that I wouldn't have believed when people told me I did it. But multiple people who don't even know one another all said the same shit to me the next day.

 

[Balt]

Only once, back when I was an undergrad. I have no desire to ever get that drunk again.

 

[Leros]

Once. Back when I had no idea what my limitations were.

Yeah... I don't really understand why so many college students feel the need to get blackout drunk every weekend.

Heck, I don't even like getting drunk. I never try to go beyond a heavy buzz.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I don't get how college people even have TIME to get drunk, when I was in college I had homework coming out of my ears. I was lucky to get a couple hours to myself. 1st year was not so bad, 2nd and 3rd as another story. Basically each teacher treated their class like it was the only class you have. "We wont see each other till Friday, so here's a project that will occupy your time for the next 2 days, its worth 20% of your mark, there will also be a test after so be sure to study!".

 

[Ruptga]

Nope, and I'd say I've been actually drunk only once. I'm normally happy to just be buzzed.

 

[grohl]

I am almost embarassed to say this, "I can't believe anyone has not blacked out!"

Drank a shit ton when I was younger. I was never proud of it and it's happened less than 5 times. At least I was never stupid enough to get behind the wheel.

who needs to do homework when you can cram for 20 hours before the test/deadline and achieve the same result?

 

[Thebobo]

Blacked out for 17 days~

 

[nickbits]

I barely get drunk and I won't remember anything the next day.

Old bastard.

Where's the "how many times" pole?

OP Fail.

 

[lxskllr]

I never have, but I'm not a big fan of being drunk either. I drank til I puked a few times, but I always knew what I did. I've never had a mystery night.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Couple times in my life... Last time was in Barbados about seven years so. Exes brother kept delivering double rum and cokes in quick succession... After about a dozen of those I saw a bottle of Canadian Club behind the bar. My rationale was I'm one of those. Gimme!

I don't recall the next several hours.....
