ok. i just "googled". sounds like i might just be genetically predisposed to this type of stuff. like some people are good at basketball and other people are programmed to be really good spellers and stuff of that nature. oh well at least it isn't webbed toes or something i guess.

Oh hey guys, I'm fanning, who wants a shot? (Me the rest of the night)--> dur dur dur de durp :zzz:

Was just going to say this. Bubs once told me that he can't drink anymore than 3 beers without blacking out. That was several years ago though, so my it's subsided.

Handful of drinks or more is pretty vague,exactly how many drinks do you pound in a night? Wait I know the answer...You can't remember

yes that was pretty vague. i would say six and things get pretty fuzzy. 7-8 and blocks that i don't remember. more and forget about it. brain cancer?

guys is that too much? not enough? am i pud or stud? :embarrassed:
-

It doesn't matter, but in terms of blacking out, that is definitely pud.

I've never blacked out on occasions where beer is the only thing I drink. It's always rum, vodka, tequila or whiskey that do me in. It hasn't happened in quite some time though. Last time I blacked out was while tailgating at the 2012 Miami game. Started pounding screwdrivers that were 50% vodka at 6:30 AM on an empty stomach (buddy said the food he was grilling would be ready by 7:30 but it wasn't done until 9 :shakesfist:).
While blacked out, I apparently pissed on the side of my roommate's truck right in front of his girlfriend and then puked a little on my shirt. Roommates changed me into a K-State hoody that was sitting in the truck and it was one size too small for me. I also applied sunscreen to my face and neck. My friends all got sunburned after mocking me while I drunkenly applied sunscreen, joke was on them. There's about a 90 minute span where I don't remember a rough ridin' thing, but my brain was pretty boss. As soon as the Qatz lined up for kickoff, it turned back on. I clearly remember the entire game. Don't remember the teams taking the field or the coin toss, but my brain recognized kickoff and knew the shenanigans needed to stop. One of the most perplexing moments of my life occurred during the second quarter when I noticed I was wearing a hoody. Spent a good 10 minutes thinking hard about when I put on a hoody before finally asking my roommates why I was wearing one.
Anyways, TL;DR moral of the story is that blacking out leads to fun experiences and lasting memories and you should do it more.
-
I've read a lot of books on this very topic daris. the main takeaway I get is that it's not a sign of a problem or anything - your brain is a muscle and you need to exercise it I guess
-
Blacked out really hard last night and medium hard the night before.
-
I have to drink like 20 beers to blackout. But if whiskey is involved crap gets real. Haven't had a good blackout for awhile, probably since graduation. Perhaps today is a good day, starting with pool, then golf, then :confused:
-
If I have more than 3 Tank 7's there is a 97% chance I will black out.
-
I always remember everything. :dunno:
-
We are going to do a little quasi-experiment pre-test/post-test with ole Daris this afternoon.
-
It's fine.
-
My first day of getting drunk I typically remember everything, but I remember less and less with each successive day of drinking. First day? 15 drinks and I can recall entire conversations. Fourth day of 8+ drinks? I'll know what city I was in and that's about it.

I'm on day six now in downtown DSM. Writing this for posterity.

I have a friend, we'll call him Aronian Butterbee, that used to black out drink a lot
He said maybe you should slow down on the bottle a little
-
Fact: you black out because you have so much alcohol in you that your body has to shut down certain functions to keep you alive.
Still do it every couple of months though

No this is wrong.

I only had one time that I didn't remember how I got home. And I made myself violently ill quite a few times - like so sick that I can't get out of bed except to puke for the entire next day.

You aren't drinking enough but you probably aren't one if those people who blackout easily.
-
i black out all the time

It doesn't mean anything except that you are genetically predisposed to blacking out.
-
Never blacked out.
of course, I never drink 15 drinks in one night, lol.

Hmm, maybe that once. But sometimes you cans blackout and it wasn't because you drank too much. Happens all the time to some people.
-
I often time travel when drinking in large groups
-
I've blacked out twice. Both times I drank a lot of tequila. I've drank more when not drinking tequila, and I didn't black out.
Maybe it's how my body metabolizes tequila? I don't know.
-
sometimes i like to have a glass of wine with dinner :tongue:

that is pathetic

The only thing I ever blacked out on was Scotch. It is still my favorite booze.
-
Never lost time at all.

If you've never blacked out then you've never drank very much, I just want to clarify that before a bunch of dumbasses come out of the woodwork proud of the fact that they've never blacked out.

yeah sort of astonished that these people exist.
-
Have passed out, but never blacked out and kept going. I am probably genetically predisposed to being a superior drinker than most. Also, never get hung over.

passing out before blacking out is in no way superior drinking

My whole sophomore year was like a space-time continuum.

This seems like a snap judgement based on limited info.

Agreed, KC. When I was younger, blacking out was kind of a badge of honor...a rite of passage. Kind of like having sex for the first time, just less enjoyable. :drink:

There has to be a correlation, right? From what I know about bubbles' dad, I assume he didn't drink very much. My dad drinks lots and lots. Bubbles blacks out a lot and very easily, I have never blacked out. What say the rest of you about your dad's drinking habits?

The two certainly could be correlated, but I would assume any observable relationship between the two is spurious.
-
hey daris how did today go? I hope it was just a normal amount of blackout and nothing too weak/strong
-
I black out easier now than I used to. I drink higher booze content stuff than I used to though. Probably the reason.
-
I drink tons when I booze but have only ever blacked out twice in my life. The first time was in 10th grade and I apparently refused to let the Pizza Shuttle guy in because I thought it was Little Caesar's and that Elvis was going to be the delivery driver and call the cops on us. Was super hungover the whole next day but still pulled it together enough to go rock out with Def Lep at the Expocenter. Other black out was far less remarkable. I think the reason I never black out is because I have a superior memory, like a velcro brain. Dr. Spaceman will attest. :cool:

Mark SB down as another guy who doesn't drink very much.

8mandad is very functional after a lot of booze, and I almost never black out, so your hypothesis seems to fit my case anyway. I have blacked out portions of the night more in the last year than ever before.
-
When I started blacking out all the damn time, I switched to drinking only beer. This has mostly resolved the issue.
-
I blacked out in a hot tub over New Years, last thing I remember is all my friends getting out.
I woke up the next day terrified that 1: I could have drowned there like a loser, or 2: filled the hot tub with puke and would have to pay an enormous cleaning fee.
Didn't die or puke though, so I can still trust my reptilian brain instincts.

Train your lizard brain to put your wallet, keys, and cellphone in predictable places and you can rule the world.

Don't really black out anymore, used to sometimes when i was younger, always involved rapid consumption of hard liquor when it did happen.
You also might try exercise before any serious pak'ing i know i always feel like i can drink a tablefull if i got a good workout in earlier in the day.

Slightly OT, but is there a stranger feeling than laying on an operating table talking to the doctor, then boom, next thing you know its 2-4 hours later and you're in post op?

Same here, don't really know what it was about my sophomore year that made me such an aggressive drinker.
If I'm out in KC I never black out, seems loserish.

I get blackout drunk at least once a month! I assume it's really fun.

I'm just not comfortable trusting my blackout self to safely get home. In Manhattan, I simply walked across the street from the 'ville. Can't remember how many times last year I woke up in my bed and was like, "welp, don't know how I got here but I'm here"
-
Haven't heard from ole daris in awhile. My guess? He blacked out and completely forgot he started this thread.
-
Hey Daris...
I used to never ever black out. Now I do sometimes. Funny thing, I drink less often, but drink more when I do. I guess I'm just trying to fit more fun in less time... now that I'm all grown up and stuff.

I don't black out when binging with beer. If the binge includes multiple shots or mixed drinks you can bet your ass Metalhead is going to do something entertaining and not remember it.
