Blackout Stories

Overheal

Im not talkin about the electricity blackout on Chrisatmas Day here (My Turkey!!!) Im talkin about the blackout drink did to ye.

Ive had 3: My first happened when I was 17: I recall little except fallinf around the porch a lot. I woke up with 3 meters of Gaus wrapped around my thumb and there was a lot of blood on my front door. Parents were *thrilled*.

The second I was in a pub and I dropped my new HDD Mp3 Player: ****ing thing flatlined on me while I sat on the barstool. I got home OK then I woke up. There was vomit *mostly* in my wastebin (the rest in the carpet) and my pc was running with the MP3 attached: Alter-Me had manage to debug and reload the thing. To this day Im not sure how.

The third happened 2 weeks ago. I had a grand normal drink session. I came home, had the energy to change my sheets, tuck in, and fall asleep. Oh god that was a gorgeous change of sheets. Next thing I know Im Banging and kicking on my front door trying to get back into my apartment! I dont have my key with me because Im not wearing any clothes!! My roommate doesnt care to answer (douchebag) but my NEIGHBOURS do: and so does his Girlfriend who thinks it ****ing hilarious. I end up staying the rest of the morning in theirs wating for douchebag to wake up.

Alright People; its your turn..

Dude you have serious problems. Anyone passing out from over consumption of alcohol is in need of help.
Have you asked yourself why you let yourself get so drunk that you black out?

Seconding this.

I don't have any "blackout stories" and I don't care to. And anyone who thinks they're a good thing/amusing has issues.

What a legend, those stories nearly made me fall off my seat laughing. Give me a shout next time you are up in Dublin I cant wait to hit the town with you, Ya mad yolk

I've had a few. First one I had been awake for about 23 hours straight and decided to go on the lash with a few of the lads. I remember feeling tired in the pub, and went outside to smoke a cigarette. And thats the last I remember of the night. Woke up the next morning in my bed with the hangover from hell, covered in sick and 2 hours late for work.

The next one occurred while I was on some serious anti-biotics for a chest infection. Decided I should be okay if I only drank a few cans, nothing too mad. So I drank about 4 cans and felt fine, even managed to make myself a sandwich!! Next thing I know, I'm waking up in my back garden half naked with my cat clawing at my face.... Scared the sh1t out of me!!!

Went on the piss in new jersey one night... and woke up the next morning on the 8th hole of a crazy golf course.

tallus, he is only young. It happens most people at a young age. You don't know exactly what you can handle and drink becasue everyone else is.
It settles with age.

I have had a few black outs from drink. Most of them when I was in my late teens. Had my first one in years at christmas in Perth, lost about 4-5hrs after a few jager bombs when I was already pissed drunk. Left like I was living in a coffin for the following 24hrs

Some people wear it as a badge of honour, others class it as stupid and dangerous.

Most people get them occasionally when they overdo it, it doesn't mean they need to go to AA.

I've had it happen a few times. Once I went outside a pub for a smoke and the next thing I know, it's four hours later and I'm lying on my kitchen floor with my dog licking my face to wake me up.

Another time, I was dancing in a club and then I was in bed the next day with all my clothes and my shoes on, suffering from the world's worst hangover. I thought I still had my contact lenses in so I tried to take them out with my shaking, nicotine-stained fingers. Of course I had already taken them out, so all I did was poke at my eyes for no reason. Not recommended.

Overheal - "Alter-Me" is a brilliant way to describe your blackout self. I'm going to blame Alter-Me for every stupid thing I do when drunk from now on.

Red Hand

I've had only about two blackouts and both were from drinking wine with beer. Do not mix your drinks! Both times, I emerged quite a long way from where I was orginally and it was many hours later.

Blackouts are very dangerous. You could have done anything in the intervening time.

Lat blackout I had was about two weeks ago and I ended up sleeping with a friend.Thin that friendship is ruined!:(

Rabies

Did you snore?

Sad Professor

I only ever had one blackout, while I was in Gran Canaria a few years ago. Very scary experience and not something I would ever boast about. It put me off alcohol tbh. I rarely ever drink anymore.

She wanted relationship(I didn't) but apparently I used her now.*sigh*

Rabies

Meh, a drunken one night stand. Someone gets hurt now and again.
You used her for sex.
She had sex with you with hope of getting a relationship out of it.

Take it to PI.

Dudess

Yeah, it's not being a killjoy to suggest that blackouts are dodgy. I've had a few (always wine-induced). The usual - being in the pub one minute, sitting on the couch at home with my head in a bucket of sick the next. Was funny at the time (I would have been in my late teens or early 20s) but looking back... Christ only knows what I could have done.
I heard of one really freaky blackout - a guy was at a Christmas work do in Cork city centre, started to feel really woozy, suddenly found himself in Cork Airport!

I've had a few in my time, mostly when I was 17 and learning my limits with alcohol. Each time I have one though, it turns me more and more off alcohol. I had one a few weeks ago. I hadn't even intended to really drink that much, but the last thing I remember was ordering a glass of wine at a party, and next thing I remember was waking up in my bad at 10 am the next morning. I've no idea what happened in the intervening 11 or so hours. I think I must have walked home, on my own. Smart, eh?

Blackouts really aren't cool and are extremely disorientating. It's one thing not remembering potions here and there, but it's another thing forgetting a whole block of time!

Its not a personal issue for me!:)

I have more crazy drunken stories.But no more black out ones.:(

Dave!

I've never had a blackout from alcohol, but I had some similar moments on cannabis.

Best one that comes to mind is when I started a new job last summer. The first day, after orientation and all of that crap, 2 of the blokes who were already working there invited me back to one of their houses for a session. Grand so. I hadn't smoked anything in months prior to this. So we're sitting around the table watching Family Guy and smoking Js, when I start to sweat alot and needed to go to the toilet. I tried to keep my cool since I had only met the blokes , but they could tell I was gettin kinda green.

Anyways I stood up and decided to go to the bathroom which was upstairs. I open the door out of the kitchen and the stairs are a few paces forward and to the right; walk on further and to the right is the living room. So I walk out of the kitchen with the intention of going upstairs, and then I open my eyes to realise that I'm lying face down on the floor in the living room, and the 2 blokes are standing above me asking what happened! :eek: Scary. So I saw the funny side as did they, and I go upstairs to the bathroom, open the door, close the door, open my eyes again and I'm lying face down in the bathroom, with my head right on the raised part along the bottom of the shower. My ears were ringing like crazy now. So I did a number 2 (charming) and stayed there for about 15 minutes waiting for my ears to stop ringing after smacking my head. They didn't stop so I went back downstairs and sat down casually, and tried to play down what had happened We laughed alot about that after it ceased to be scary, lol

I had to walk a good bit of the way home and I thought I might go to A&E and tell them what had happened in case I should, y'know, die in my sleep as a result of smacking my head so hard. But I decided against it in the end.

I'm okay now And I rarely smoke anything anymore; if I do I'll only have a bullet. God I'm goin to Amsterdam this summer, what the hell am I gonna do!! lol

Blackouts scare the crap out of me. I went through a phase early last summer when I was having them nearly every week. I could only put it down to the fact that I had just discovered jager bombs and was drinkin my way through tons of the things. So I gave them up and havent had one since. One particular incident: Walked in to my kitchen to discover puke on the counter. I immediatly roared at my flatmate to get in their and clean up their vomit. I was told in no uncertain circumstances that my flatmate had not been out the night before and had enjoyed an early night and on closer inspection the vomit was mine. I have no recollection of this at all as I thought I got home from the night club and got straight into bed.

similar thing happened to me I have gone sleep walking a few times after a couple too many beers.

Walked out of my hotel room in westport in my boxers and woke up as the fire escape door closed behind me on the external emercency stairs at about 8am. No way of getting back in and stranded in the courtyard (open air) for about 45mins. I heard some vioces from the ground floor and found a hotel employee.

Next thing she is leading me through the nightclub (now being cleaned up, me in my jocks) making sure she brings me past all the other employees breaking their sh1t laughing at me. Then I have to get another key programmed in reception as the "normal" guests are heading off for their day's sightseeing everyone is p1ssing themselves laughing at me.

I get back into the room as the lad I was sharing is getting up and asking me if I wanted to go down to breakfast, i passed.

I think it was Hotel Westport if I remember correctly it had only just opened.

I've only fully blackout once before. It was about 2 years ago, with myself and 2 friends of mine in my local, one of my friend's came later on in the night with the rest of his family! Anyway, all of us drank ourselves silly (I must of had in the region of 13-14 pints of lager in me), and from what I remember in the pub is that I was shouting quite loudly at my friend's father to buy me more alcohol! After that, everything went black until I woke up at home the next morning, still quite drunk. Apprently, according to eye-witness reports, I cycled home on the wrong side of the road into on-coming traffic, and managed NOT to get killed by a car. When I think of it now, I was very lucky I wasn't killed.

I blacked out the first time I went to a Boards Beers Cork. In my defense we were undertaking a long pub crawl in a short space of time. The last thing I remember was being in Tom Barry's thinking : "I'm starting to feel a bit pissed". I woke up in my sister's house with vomit on my shoes. What a way to make a first impression......

The last time it was happened was at a going away party about 8 months ago. The last thing I remember is almost falling out the door of the pub. I woke up in the morning to find I had been sick in the little dustbin I keep next to my bed. I was amazingly neat about it - nothing on my pillow or the sheets.

Sometimes I can drink incredible amount and barely feel it's affects. Sometimes I'll feel myself getting too drunk and refuse any more drink. Once in a blue moon I won't realise I've had too much until it's too late....

I've only had two full blackouts. I don't want to have anymore really but I wouldn't say its put me off drink or even having too much drink on certain occasions just not having crazy amounts of alcohol.

The first one was at a wedding about 20 months ago. It was a Bulgarian wedding and I was working with the guy. They had the reception back at a massive rented house. I was offered vodka and accepted it and then I was gone. Woke up the next morning in the house I was supposed to be staying and puked. It was a pretty strange experience for my because I usually don't even puke after drinking and I knew I hadn't drunk that much before the vodka. Only heard later on that the vodka was an imported Bulgarian one which was 60%.

Second time it happened was only for a couple of hours. I was at a mates birthday last summer and I remember going into the room I was staying in around 4ish in the morning. 5 other people in the room were staying in the room with me. Then I can't remember anything until I walk out of the ensuite at about 6.30 in the morning. According to my friends I went there just before 5 and I obviously fell asleep in there.

I have had many many blackouts due to my epilepsy related fun and games

Most are quite boring, I was thinking about one of them the other day actually. I was in London. I was in a cab going to back to a girls place, whom I had met a couple of hours previously. It was a bit of a, "I really fancy a shag, and I'm going home now and your the closest person to me right now" kind thing..

I was hammered [which is a very bad thing with epilepsy] and at some point in the taxi I had a wee fit, and blacked out. When I came back to this world, I was in the spare room in this strange house. No idea in the world where I actually was..

Next morning I was mortified and therefore did a runner before anyone in the house woke up. It turns out I was miles and miles from home, so had the joy of spending an hour on the overland train [with gigantic hangover] with all the folks working on Sunday mornings and those also doing runners
