Have you ever got so drunk...

justforlaugh

that you cant remember anything or what you did the night before?

I hear people say this but it never happen to me, i gotten seriously drunk a few times and i would always remember what happen the night before

Lisha

Yup it's why I don't drink really. Anything after 5/6 drinks and I get total blackouts. Will remember nothing at all and be hungover for approx 2/3 days.

So I don't drink much at all. Never more than 3/4 drinks.
I'm great craic really

Yup

debabyjesus

Can't remember

puddinboxxx

Can't remember the night???...Jesus I can't remember me twenties, woke up one morning with a woman who was probably 3 times older than me mam and discovered I was in me 30's :eek:

Whenever I go on a big tear on pints of heineken I can't remember anything the next day. Any other drink and I'm grand, just that drink that gives me alzheimer's the day after.

RachaelVO

I do tend to remember eventually...

It's the fecking fear though, that's the killer. I don't get hangovers (I'd never drink if I did), but sometimes I do get the fear and it's fecking horrible, the paranoia is a killer.

Seachmall

Yep, once.

I had dropped a bit of weight and hadn't adjusted my drinking accordingly so I spent quite a few nights off my rocker. One of those nights I have absolutely no memory of. According to my mates though I was acting like a dick and am probably better off that I don't remember it.


However, I believe in "Telling Lies" it's discussed that the vast majority (90+%) of cases of alcohol induced amnesia are simply the person being embarrassed by their actions and using it as an excuse to avoid having to deal with the consequences.

willowthewisp

Went for a period of a few years when every single time I went out and went beyond a few, I had to get absolutely smashed and would be instantly transported from the 2nd/3rd venue of the night back to my bedroom the next morning.
Never had a frigging clue of what or even who I may have done.
Am all normal now though, but sometimes I miss that buzz of getting fuuuuu

are you seriously claiming that only beer and not just that, a specific registered trade mark of beer causes you to black out?

4 times.

First time was when I was about 19, was at a wedding drinking wine all day, went to residents bar and drank vokda and redbull until I had to be (allegedly) carried to bed.

Second time was a few years ago in a bar that I know well, took one sip out of my third cocktail and remember nothing after. My friend found me asleep in the toilets.

Last time was a recent work night out, missing a couple of hours completely. Was drunker than anyone else there (was drinking cocktails from the same bar as above - lesson learned, they aren't scabby with the alcohol!).

It's a bad buzz and not one I want to ever experience again. It's utter stupidity to allow myself get that drunk.

Can't remember the third time?!

suicide_circus

I was spiked.....with a hape of pints!

timewilltell

Too many to mention. Started to wise up last year and hasn't happened since! Suppose when I think about it I'm lucky, something could have easily happened to me e.g. fall, get lost etc.

Nope I don't believe a word of it.
I totally black out. If i cant remember it i really Can't remember it. It's horrible

Forest Demon

I call it my dark passenger

shinesun

Yep once or twice. :rolleyes:
It is more the fear that gets me, not knowing what could have said/done.

EdenHazard

Yeah once, changed my attitude to drink. Just the worst feeling ever.

ColeTrain

Yes, horrific the next day but I probably enjoyed myself at the time so that at least comforts me.

The book doesn't argue that it doesn't happen, or deny that some people are more prone to blacking out, only that the vast majority of claims of blackouts are lies.

It was a well reasoned and supported claim, iirc.

Yeah, if had 10 or more pints of heineken, which isn't a lot in fairness and I wouldn't be drunk after, It'd make my memory patchy. If had the same in cider or bud I'd be completely fine. It's strange, but I know a few similar lads like me too.

Then if I drank an absolute shit load of anything it wouldn't matter, I'd black out then regardless.

Ilyana 2.0

Just the once, and it was enough not to let it happen again. I blacked out for about five hours, which I spent getting sick in the downstairs bathroom with my mother looking after me. The only saving grace is that my friend, on seeing how drunk I was in town, had put me in a taxi home while I was still conscious. I didn't even know I'd been sick until the following night.

Raw vodka. Never again.

crockholm

Used to have the whole"scene missing" thing when I was younger,have not been drinking like that in a while,plus,the way you approach alcohol changes as you get older.But like the lingering smell of piss,when you have the wet penny in the pocket-I can rarely remember going home,I can remember everything that happens when out, just never the walk home

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

I don't get what "the fear" is. I usually get so drunk that I should be absolutely mortified but luckily I don't remember as much as I should so generally I draw a line under it the next day and it's grand.

Nothing like a bit of binge drinking

Wise Old Elf

When I started work first, a good few of us used to go out straight after work every week. Never had total memory loss, but a lot of "fear", and I overdid it a good bit.
I decided one night to be sensible, went home, had a proper meal and went to pub at a normal time. Had a couple of drinks, then someone handed me a green drink (chartreuse). I remember finishing whatever conversation I was having, downing it, then NOTHING. A really unnerving experience and not something I remeber doing since! Ended up giving up booze for a year shortly after.

Driveby Dogboy

i feel the night is wasted if i wake up the next morning and can remember how i got home

Vivienne23

Yep i often wouldn't remember getting home it's like the air hits me and I might have a recollection of a tiny bit of a conversation or something to jog my memory but the specifics of it wouldn't have a clue and that's only after a few bottles ,

Then there was last st Patrick's day, I literally walked out of one pub remember taking a few steps and waking up in my bed the following morning , turns out we were in 2 more pubs and the chipper after that

It turned me off drink completely , wreckless behaviour drinking that amount hence why I have been out approx 4 /5 times since then ,

Oh Jesus the fear is a nightmare I couldn't go into the local spar for about 3 weeks after the paddys day fiasco in case I met anyone

Ihatecuddles-old

I forget bits but unfortunately remember them the next day.

My boyfriends housemate reminded me that I went to the bathroom naked when they were in the sitting room. Wish she didn't tell me

Suppose I just believe it cos I truly do suffer blackouts. But I really believe some people react very badly to alcohol. Sadly I'm one of them. One of my brothers would be similar to me too.

I love the taste of alcohol, Heineken, Bacardi n coke, I really love wine but I go from mellow to collapso way too quick. So it's better if I don't

I have found "the fear" gets worse a) as you get older, and b) when you have kids. I'm 33 with two small children and the guilt, paranoia and anxiety I get after a night drinking is enough to put me off altogether!

Vodka and red bull doesn't help either, love it at the time but my god does it make you depressed the next day!

Katya

Yep it's awful and the reason I'm not bothered drinking. It happened to me a lot (sometimes after as little as three drinks) and took me a long time to realise drinking isn't for me. I have a few now and then but don't let myself get out if it. I only recently heard the term the 'fear' but I knew immediately what it referred to!

tara73

sure, happend about 5-10 times in my life (can't remember how often really...:D) too old for it these days though...:)
one funny story: was sharing a taxi with a friend to get home after a great night out, he didn't really know my address and apparently I didn't wanted to tell him or the taxi driver. he told me the next morning. I thought he was joking...was a bit shocked tbh as I couldn't remember anything about it:o.

OP, if you drink enough, it will happen to you too. Some people pass out, and that's it then, but if you drink harder stuff like vodka it will happen eventually. not encouraging you to do it, just sayin'..

calanus

Yup, the amount that it has happened to at least once seems to outweigh the number who haven't.

My worst blackout was about a few years ago (around 18) on a very very quiet Monday night in a town about 30 mile from mine. After about 4 car bombs and whatever else our group got kicked out because two of us projectile vomited across the bar. While waiting for the taxi I wandered off only to wake up in my bed the next morning with puke everywhere and neither myself or my friends know how I got home.

I presume my parents have the answer but I have never plucked up the courage to ask!

The whole night obviously not but nearly always have bits of the night I don't remember especially getting home.

this ^^^^

Katunga

yes on two on three times all in college.

One of the times I woke up in my en suite.

Have gotten more sensible with my drinking since then so it's been a few years now.

osarusan

Has happened to me loads of times. Most recently about 2 weeks ago.

I used to be worried about it, but enough friends told me that when I get really drunk, I just sit down and stay quiet and then go home, so that I didn't worry about the fear anymore.

justforlaugh

i can become very confidence after 5 or 6 pints but woman tend to look at me with disgust:o

sorry but thats all in your head.
and 10 pints not that much, let me guess, you're about 22?
edit: sorry that was unnecessarily condescending. after 10 pints I would be royaley sh|t-housed.

wexie

Drunk, nope, never, always remember everything, which is ever more embarrassing cause the impulse control still goes out the window.

Stoned however.....ooh look a butterfly....

shrewdness

Once when I was younger, I got that drunk I couldn't get my key in the front door when i got home. I had the keys in my hand alright, but I physically couldn't get the key in the door. Had to ring my dad at 4am to get out of bed to open the door.

Not my proudest moment.

Lyra Fangs

Happened to me twice.

The first time was the worst. Had a few pre-drinks and when we decided to head to the pub *WHAM* I wake up in my friends house suddenly in pjs with my hair tied up. Very scary, I didn't know where I was for a few minutes and I couldn't understand how it'd happened, I'd only drank about 4 wkds and had the tiniest sip of the end of a vodka bottle over a 2.5 hr period.

Apparently as soon as I left the house I instantly became smashed. Told the doorman I was wasted, puked while lying face down on a table, had to be carried out of the pub, puked at a bus stop and had to be driven the 10 mins to my friend house because I was incapable of operating my legs.

Worse moment of my life, I just appreciate how lucky I was to have a friend there I could rely on.

neuvoculchie

I dont think iv ever had a night out where atleast some part isnt missing but recently its happening a lot more and im loosing hours and just waking up in bed the next day can never seem to get the right balcance of drunk tesco vodka probly doesnt help though :P anyone got any tips to get drunk but avoid this? I usualy drink very fast (not on purpose) like id drink a pint in under 20 minutes maybe thats at causes it

BeerWolf

Can honestly say I've never gotten meself drunk to the point of losing control of yourself... the most being just getting a little tipsy.

I generally frown upon people that binge drink, disgusting behavior really.

So how do you know it was Heinekens

wazky

When I was a few years younger, I was a social gathering at a fancy hotel and had a few drinks, and after went to bed happy as a pig in the brown stuff.

Woke up the next morning with sick all over the myself, the bed and the floor, I went outside for some air and proceeded to empty my stomach into one of the flowerbeds outside then hotel, in front of the dining room where people had just sat down to their continental breakfast.

Princess Peach

I can't remember most of 2009!
