How many people here that drink get "blackouts"?

Post Reply New Topic

A blackout is having no memory of what happed at all while you was drunk. I used to have that happen to me a lot when I drank much heavier. I was just wondering if it was just me that got blackouts when drinking heavily.

I got drunk last night and this time I had a "brown out" (remembering some, but not all). I didn't do much, just sat here and got drunk

If I mix caffeine(energy drinks, caffeine pills) with alcohol I get these "brown outs" as you call them. But other than that, no.
Even when I drink extreme amounts(barfing several times, close to alcohol poisoning) I remember perfectly the day after.

In my experimentation days I would drink while high on hasish. Not a good idea as I forgot most of what happened that day.

Yes, I have drank while smoking pot back in the day. Used to drink while on ecstasy "rolling." that's has nothing to do with anything. Except I rarely blackout while combining with drugs.

I don't throw up when I am drinking. I am also skinny and can drink a immense amount of alcohol. That probably has something to do with it. drinking too much for my system to hnadle.

Long history of alcoholism in my family,so it's genetic for me(also,think it is connected with our diabetes,depression and some learning disabilities)I frequently drank to black out and brown out......it was my intention.I hated being inside myself,I have "snap-shots" in my head of being some where or meeting someone and not knowing how I got there....lots of storys from people I drank with about what I had done the night before.It was probably also a factor that I rarely threw-up or passed out inspite of how much I drank.People would be vomitting or passing out all around me and I would just keep drinking.I quit about 17 years ago and miss being able to be social(a little) but other wise it was worth that small sacrifice.

No black-outs for me, as I don't imbibe alcohol. But, sometimes I just phase-out for a little bit if my attention's distracted by something.

I wish I would get black outs. Remembering some crap I've done while drunk is embarrassing. I've been fall-asleep-getting-out-of-the-car-and-wake-up-pissed-off-on-the-driveway drunk and remembered everything up to hitting the pavement.

Lots of people black out when they drink excessively. Talk to any college student.

I've had two alcoholic black-outs. I don't intend to have any more, because it's pretty scary not knowing what you did the night before.

I've had maybe one, but I usually don't drink an awful amount. I have a very low tolerance and two cocktails are enough to get me drunk :\

Its happenned a few times, about 5-10 years ago. I hardly drink at all now.

I almost never drink, but the few times I did, 2 times I had black outs.

I don't blackout. Ever. As I told in another thread, I can't drink that much.

I took a friend to an AA meeting and sat in on the discussion. They said if you have black outs you're an alcoholic because normal drinking should never go that far.

I've had black outs and I don't even drink.

I don't black out if I drink, but I feel like I'm having an out-of-body experience.
