Do people really "blackout"?

[Nauseous]

I always thought it was a way to excuse shitty behavior.

What do you think?

[phatboy]

Im not sure if I'd call it a blackout, but I have woken up and have pieces of the previous night be gone from memory.

As in 'Did I pay my tab last night?'

"Why are there M&M crumbs and a fat chick in bed with me...?"

"Wheres my shoes?"

[Nauseous]

My friend's roommate supposedly got so messed up that he got naked in bed with him. The guy claims to be straight. I'm not buying it. I have been drunk and I knew what I was doing at the time. I don't buy the whole "blackout" thing. It's like people taking so many pills that they pass out. What a waste of damn pills.

[phatboy]

I dont think I believe that story either.

Ive never done anything that 'i really didnt want to' when I was drunk. It might have lowered my standards to a questionable level, but I would imagine you would pass out long before being beligerent enough to 'accidentaly' get in the bed with someone.

[Nauseous]

Yep. I believe that guy is gayer than a picnic basket.

I was told about some things I did the first (and only) time I tried PGA. Some time later, some of the images returned to my memory like blurry flashbacks but not all of it. Still, I had the wherewithall to puke outside instead of on myself and the couch like my girlfriend did the previous night.

As they say (whoever "they" are): "I've never gone to bed with an ugly chick, but I've woke up with some."

Fortunately, booze made a few girls along my way lower their standards, too.

[Nauseous]

What is PGA?

[MAJ Havoc]

What is PGA?

Pure Grain Alcohol 190 proof.

[Reizvolles]

I always remember what I did, though for the life of me I can't work out why I did it.

[Nauseous]

Pure Grain Alcohol 190 proof.

Gross. What possessed you to drink that?

[Nauseous]

Just thought of a funny quote from a tv show:

Alcohol, as they say, it makes you let down your prohibitions.

[phatboy]

Everclear, GemClear, Golden Grain.

Quick fast and in a hurry.

When I was 18 or so we snatched a bunch of bottles of MD from the local winn dixie. That stuff was so crap we ended up funneling it.

Long night.

Worse drunk ever was 'Cisco'. Something about cheap wine is so degrading.

Well when I drank that bottle of aftershock, that was pretty bad drunk too. I knew what was going on, I just couldnt do anything about it. Its a bad feeling when your arms and legs quick working and all you hear is somebody saying, "you cant take him back to the base like that...." Of course my breath smelled like cinnamon all night, so that was a plus....

[MAJ Havoc]

Gross. What possessed you to drink that?

Peer pressure? We made a vat of hunch punch with the PGA and some juices and fruit pieces. I added a capful (or 2) to each of my cups of the stuff thinking it wasn't strong enough for me.

I was wrrrr.....I was wrrrr.....wrrrrong.

[Nauseous]

I hate being drunk.

[MAJ Havoc]

I hate being drunk.

Yeah, I like a 3-beer buzz. I try to maintain that but it's a precarious balancing act. I tried Friday night but the four magaritas tipped me off the beam.

[Nauseous]

Did you get the spins or anything?

I hate that feeling and I get it totally sober.

[phatboy]

You mean where the room kind of seems to spin when your sitting still looking at a non-moving object? Yea, I have had that. Everyone says, 'just put a foot on the floor' but that doesnt really help.....

[Nauseous]

Yeah, I have heard that and didn't think it would work. It doesn't help with me when I get vertigo sober.

[homer]

A woman I work with gets vertigo when sober and it is something with her inner ear,she is taking meds for it now I think.

[Nauseous]

I think it might be my ears. It feels like it could be in my ears, but it also feels like something is up with my vision.

I sometimes wonder if being a vegetarian for 16 years has fucked me up, as in I am missing out on some crucial vitamin or mineral and my body is crapping out on me.

[ucicare]

meiner's disease?

[Lomotil]

Tolerance is a bitch, y'all.

It takes finishing the second 24oz of 8.1%+ brew for me to even catch a buzz...

I used to abide by the slogan, "Three of these ought'a come with bail money" - but like I said, tolerance is a bitch.

But don't worry, true believers, I'll quit tomorrow! :biggrin:

[curtis19]

Blackout is usually too much alcohol consumption. But medical or psychological can cause it also. I voluntarily blacked out some facts in an extremely traumatic experience. Curt19

[Nauseous]

meiner's disease?

Meniere's would really be the only ear condition that would make sense.

[Nauseous]

And alcohol is nasty and it makes you stink.

[phatboy]

And alcohol is nasty and it makes you stink.

I think in moderation it is okay. When you get 'pissed' drunk is when you get your stink on.

Its an excuse I have had a "Blackout" once because .... no twice come to think of it. Point is I slowly remembered bits and pieces over a span of time but did not initially the next day. And I always knew what I was doing though. Just lowered inhibitions.

Did your husband get in bed naked with another guy?

Wow! That's very honest of you Joe. But not everyone is a raging closet homo like you.

Yeah, I like to keep random men in bedrooms in my house.

No. It was the roommate of my friend. The roommate says he's 100% straight and then gets naked and crawls in bed with my friend. So my friend takes pictures of him (? I know) and puts him back in his bed. I didn't ask if he "dropped" him on his dick or anything, but you never know.

[phatboy]

Sounds like they are both gay.

Why take pictures of a naked man.

"Hey look at these pictures of 'dave' in my bed"

"dude, he's naked"

"I know funny huh?"

"not funny, queer"

:)

[Nauseous]

My friend is gay which is why I found it odd that someone who claims to be straight would "black out" and get into his bed naked.

Ok, that makes more sense about the picture then, not about getting in another dudes bed. Maybe he just wanted a blowjob.......

The only thing that ever worked for me if the room was spinning is sleeping in the bath tub.

You can "black-out" — I used to do it all the time when I was younger; I don't really drink any more. Sometimes I would regain consciousness halfway through a sentence and not be able to remember what I'd just said, or the preceding couple of hours.
It could be quite scary; I once "came-to" outside McDonalds in the company of a young couple who were of the opinion that I was going home with them. Confused, I panicked and thought they were going to use me for some weird sex game before chopping me into little pieces and hiding me in the walls, so I ran home.
I've woken covered in bruises, and had to wait 2 days to ask people why. Turned out I got them from my friends, in a chinese take-away, while they kept me from knocking fuck out of a guy who started on me for calling his girlfriend a whore.
And can you remember where you were when Princess Diana died? I can. I was sleeping in a concrete stairwell in a block of council flats, about 10 miles from the town-center (where all the clubs were) in the opposite direction from where I lived, covered in the contents of my uneaten kebab. I got woken by someone who was kind enough to give a fuck, while they were on their way to work, and had to walk home covered in sauce and yogurt.
That's why I don't drink any more.

[Nauseous]

Goddamn, what were you drinking? Antifreeze?

[canine_STD]

FUCK! I just typed out a huge reply and lost it all. I might try again tomorrow; I'm tired.

[Nauseous]

I'm waiting...

[GAS]

waiting on the world to change!!!!


Sorry couldn't resist.

I've spent the last 3 weeks trying to get rid of this really annoying virus, and have so far destroyed a desktop computer and a modem. I'm now using a laptop that I've borrowed from my dad, and am stuck using dial-up internet for the next week. I'd forgotten just how much 52k sucks.

The much shorter version of what I wrote 3 weeks ago:

I grew up in a town dominated by one industry that was completely dependant on the cold war. When that ended, tens of thousands of people were unemployed and hardly anyone had any money. The town was flooded by american-style chains (ala McDonalds) who only employed teenagers because they cost less and couldn't form unions. So the only people in town with money were kids which caused loads of clubs to open who targeted kids with dirt-cheap strong booze. One club I used to go to sold double-vodkas with coke for 50p. I'd sit at the bar and throw one after the other down my throat and next I knew it was 5 a.m and I was half-naked in a thorn-bush
