Drinking blackouts

I wonder how many people share this odd viewpoint? I ask because some freinds that I don't know so well are quite keen to get me drinking and I don't know if this is typical "peer pressure" type stuff or this :confused:

My long time freinds arn't like this, they have known me from well before we were old enough to be drinking and are not pushy at all. I have been properly drunk at a freinds house just once, Never had any blackout/memory loss though, thats frankly concerning :/

i think you get to know people quicker, can't say i wouldn't trust long time friends just because not seen them drunk. Always intresting see that side of people though.
 
i can taste fine, if ive had 1 drink or 15, beer is just something to drink while your sitting, i dont get drunk on just beer, i order 1 shot for each beer minimum.

Then you're special, in fact going on my experience you'd be unique, maybe we should set up some sort of double blind test to check this one out and see if your tastebuds are entirely unaffected by alcohol.

I don't share the viewpoint but etom is right, it often acts as a shortcut to finding out about someone. As a general rule of thumb if I can go out drinking with someone and like them as much at the end of the night as I did at the start they'll probably be someone I'd then class as a good mate.

sure, around 10 ish tomorrow?, and not entirely unaffected but i can tell between carling and staropramen

you've indirectly agreed with a different version of it, but essentially, the same thing.


edit: just remembered, tuesday i went out, drank enough to give you all a blackout, bought a long island iced tea in a club and it tasted crap

Much Beer and Marijuana then? These pass-outs sound like whiteys imo.

If not I'm quite disturbed by these blackouts as I tend to remember everything I've done during the previous night :(

You haven't pushed it far enough :D
 
Meh, uni, the worst was going into town, drinking 12 shots of vodka in 5-10 mins before spoons closed, thank god they wouldn't serve triple's or I'd be even worse. I basically don't remember from then, that was after drinking throughout a footie match earlier and then going into town to celebrate/comiserate i can't remember.

From then the story goes that, I walked along taking a leak in the road, walking right past 2 cops who apparently weren't impressed, got a stop and search ticket apparently which I found in the morning. when they radio'd in my name I apparently yelled "and he's drunk" to the person on the other end and almost got arrested.

Walked back to uni, I ran off, into a forrest, which from the map the next day is around 5/6 miles to where I came out.......

I "came too" walking through a forrest in the middle of the night with a slight moon with zero idea where I was, which direction to go, in winter so it was all huge tree's with no leaves. I woke up in the freaking blair witch project absolutely cacking myself. Picked a direction, came upon an industrial estate some time later, found a guy outside on a smoke break. Went to ask him if he could phone a cab for me as I had no idea where I was or local cab number, but I forgot and asked him for a rollie, about 10 mins later I remembered about the cab, went into factory with all manner of metal pressing/cutting equipment, phoned for a cab, went and had another ciggarette, stopped at a petrol station on the way back , bought porn????? went home, woke up late for the next day.


So much bad crap could have happened, I drank heavily on other nights, even drank pretty hard the night after and was out till about 4am and got a lift home from my mates place from the pizza guy who knew where I lived already as he delivered to us all the time(also a bad sign)

It freaked me out, don't think I ever got anywhere near as bad again throughout uni, or since. I rarely drink now just because I tend to not really enjoy it anymore.

But for me, heavy drinking stemmed more from depression and not feeling comftable at uni, rather than just drinking to get battered for the sake of it.

Blacking out is simply a waste, I'll try to never do it again, because its a waste of cash, time, memory and that one night you do something really stupid/terrible you'll end up dead or losing a good friend by saying the wrong thing.

It was weird that no matter how bad you are you can mostly get home fine even if you don't remember how you did it. There's blacking out where you simply can't retain the memory but weren't actually out of control, and theres blacking out where you can't remember it and you went completely bonkers and were a danger to yourself and others. Really if you're doing the later very often somethings wrong.
 
I wasn't big on drinking and I only started to drink more than once a month when I went to university.
Needless to say about 3 weeks in i woke up round my friend's house sleeping on the floor. He told me to get up and clean up the mess I made in the kitchen and the front room Q_Q

I didn't forgot everything. And I can't say i've ever completely forgotten the night before. It was awkward, though, because I could remember coming home from the pub and I could also remember falling asleep.
Between that time though I managed to defrost most of my friends freezer and consume 3 pints of milk and pour milkshake powder all over the kitchen, lose my keys in a glass in the sink, break 2 chairs and eat a pack of jam tarts(?)
It will inevitably happen again but I don't really want it to :(

Edit: :P I also figured out how it's possible to break into my friends house by reaching through the letterbox when they tried to lock me out O_O
 
My bed at Uni is so uncomfy that blackouts are actually quite handy, means I get a full nights sleep :p
 
I woke up on the couch a few years ago and the whole downstairs was filled with smoke, I then remembered I had put some bacon under the grill but must have passed out when I sat down. The bacon was now two small lumps of soot.


I also bought a huge kebab after a night years and years ago, got back home but I fell asleep before I even opened it.
I was woken early in the morning (about 7am) by my mum telling me I should go to bed, I was starving then remembered the kebab so I looked down by my legs but it had gone :confused:
I nearly shed a tear when my mum told me she thought it was just rubbish so had thrown it into the waste bin :(

Another time in Magaluf me and the lads had been out drinking for about 16 hrs or so, I can't remember much except waking up in my hotel room with half a BK Whopper stuck to my face and tomato sauce all down my clothes :/
 
Don't feed platinum the internet trollhardguy.

You really do talk ****.

all you do is post stupid pointless insults and other such comments, mabye say something useful or not post.

if you instantly are massively offended by the written word then perhaps you need to grow some balls and not be a little girl.

infact, im just doing to ignore both of you, i suggest you do the same
 
I blackout quite a lot at uni, I actually find it quite enjoyable! Its always fun finding out the next day all the stupid stuff you did! Luckily I never do anything really bad which I then regret, so it's all good! Although to be fair I prefer being just this side of blacking out, you know where you cant remember much but you get the vague idea kinda what happened...
Also I always get the best nights sleep when im really drunk, and wake up feeling well rested and relaxed! Pretty weird I know, guess Im just lucky!

This is why universities are so anal about fire safety and I can get fined for not dragging my ass out of halls at stupid o'clock when someone does it yet again.
 
I get blackouts fairly often when I drink, I often get up in the morning after a night out wondering what happened, and whether I've made a tit out of myself, more often than not I haven't, but of the times I have I get a few 'flashbacks' where I remember one scene, or another and think oh, that's what happened, whereas my mates tell me different. I drink far more than I should, and I really need to cut back, which I'm doing, but even with that I only remember parts of the night. It scares me sometimes.
