C'mere a minute!

I've blacked out twice in my life:

1) With 3 friends on vacation in Greece (we were 18 ). One night went out of control when I was downing a bottle of ouzo on the beach (vodka & ouzo on the balcony earlier). Total blackout 18->morning when I woke up. I collapsed in a bush and they had to carry me home. Apparently I had followed people into their hotel rooms and partied. I had bruises and cuts all over from falling over/into stuff. No bad hangover tho.


2) Wedding with open bar with my Finnish cousins. Shit got bad when I had to drink everything they ordered and didn't like (they were 16 and hadn't been drunk before). I remember snapping out of the black out when I was puking over a reeling into some bushes in the garden. I looked up and some elderly couple were staring and shaking their heads in distaste. Shortly after I went into a taxi to the hotel and had to work so hard not to puke in the car.

I don't black out ( well it has happened a few odd times ) but

a couple times I've recorded whole evenings when there were parties and things ( digital recorder ). It's funny listening to the recordings later and see how my behavior changes and I'm trying to hit on girls subtly and stuff

What if that voice inside your head was really telling you to smoke Santa Clauses North Pole? Then you are in some club during Halloween and you lose it when Santa Clause is there.

man I didn't black out this evenig

this thead had inspired me so much

and I'm: home now and it's quarter till two

in the fashion of a sex and the city episode I held a friends hair back while she was throwing up not on the beach but in the street


I guess I'm Charlotte

Originally posted by FromAbove Remember when I blacked out at the club and couldn't remember shit. Today my friend told me all the crazy things I was saying while I was gone. And it scared me because it's all the things I keep to myself, like how I think I can pick up any chick. I was calling myself slick and shit. Ugh, I'm such an asshole. Anyways, I think it's cool that even though you go unconscious when you blackout, your unconscious mind takes over and you become the voice inside your head. Isn't that cool.

You thrive off looking not cool.

Originally posted by Kellyboop Chinese New Year in Shanghai 2009 I remember slamming back the vodka. After fireworks everything went black and I came back to reality mid-conversation with a friend chatting about turtles. I've always wondered what my face looked like when I snapped back into a conscious state of mind but neither of us can remember the fuzzy periods of that night

THIS.

Blacking out isn't something that happens EVERY time you drink. if it does, then you've got serious problems.

but it just can happen because your body simply cannot process the amount of booze you have in your system. generally this happens when you drink too much too fast.

LOL again, blacking out can affect ANYONE. it's not just some silly freshmen slut who had three margaritas and passed out. alcoholics who have drank for YEARS can black out if they just have one big bender some night. it's all about amount plus speed of said drink.

when i read this thread title, my mind connects it to "Breaking up is hard to do"

Bullshit. Faker.

What is 'blacking out'?

Under the definition I have used for years, it is the same as 'passing out,' i.e. losing consciousness and falling asleep involuntarily, but apparently everyone else seems to think the two are different.

I think in this thread it's the point at which you lose your memory for a bit.

I lose my memory every time I drink, in varying degrees.

It's a problem I've had since a particularly boisterous holiday a few years ago.

It's gotten so bad that not only do I lose my medium term memory (i.e. waking up and not remembering the night the next day), but also my short term memory, so if I drink a lot (say 20 or 30 beers), I'll spend the whole night telling the same story to the same person, over and over, because I can't remember what I said 5 minutes ago. It's fucking embarrassing, but then again I probably deserve that after drinking 20 or 30 beers.

Will has it right, blacking it out is being so beyond wasted that you continue to function with absolutely no recollection of what you've done for several hours. With my case, the last thing I remember is playing a track then my girlfriend waking me up in the bathroom. 3 hours had gone by and I don't remember a second of it. Conversations, more drinks, me djing...don't remember a thing.

It's a little freaky, isn't it? Once, my drinking buddies and I had actually changed houses, and I didn't even recall it happening. Hours later, the first thing I remember is complaining that I couldn't find the stairs to go upstairs to the toilet. They informed me that we were at Dave's house, and that there was no upstairs. There were some drugs involved in that one though...

It's bizarre and it's really no fun at all. What's the point of partying/drinking/whatever if you can't actually enjoy it? Nooo thanks

Exactly. It's like a waste of perfectly good liquor/drugs. Not on at all.

I never worry about me blacking out... it seems I just steal fake trees from bars.

It starts with just trees, but beleive me, trees are a gateway souvenir. You'll move on to bigger and better things eventually.

usually i have a very good memory while drunk, but only fully lost my memory once when i was a noob at 19.. drank almost 750ml of absolut tangerine before heading into a club. all i remember from the 2-3 hours inside is falling down the stairs and walking it off laughing... and vaguely puking all the way home

next day i found out i apparently had a grind session with 3 girls at once in the middle of the dance floor.. and sloppily made out with 2 of them simultaneously i didn't believe it at first but a few of my buddies confirmed that it happened, and that they were "pretty hot" on one account.. just glad that no pictures were taken to disprove that and that i didn't wake up toothless/in a drunk tank... said i'd never drink like that again and never did.

i've done that, continued playing after blacking out

i packed up all my gear and got a ride home, i was djing then the next thing i know i'm waking up in bed next to one of the servers and my flight cases were all over my living room

i wound up playing the same song twice, other than that it was apparently a great set... and night

yup - passing out is when "wake up" in your bed (usually in your underwear, and probably with some vomit around you). blacking out is what you "wake up" and you're still actually functioning. passing out is usually your body's way of defending its self against more alcohol....like you've drank so much it just wants it out of your system, so it makes you throw up and go to sleep. this isn't always the case, of course, but a good majority. i think blacking out might be your mind trying to protect itself...the alcohol or other substances you're taking might be making you act in such an awful manner that the mind shuts down to prevent yourself from knowing it, despite you still physically functioning. i don't know, just a theory.

i agree w/ bas on this - what's the point of partying if you can't remember it?

i've blacked out a few times, and they've all been really sucky situations and it was all when i drank way to much, way to fast... especially that last time. whew boy. when i was in counseling after that, they said that blacking out was a sign of substance abuse.

Originally posted by tubularbills You all are doing it WRONG. blacking out isn't just forgetting something and then waking up in your bed, hungover and in your underwear. Blacking out is when you "wake up" and you are STILL GOING. One minute i'm slamming a corona at 730am, the next minute i'm in handcuffs and it's 230 in the pm. memory completely wiped out, but body still going. unless you've had THAT experience, then you're all just pussies when it comes to being alcoholics.
