Roommate used to get blackout drunk. For the longest time I also assumed that “blackout drunk” = “passed out”, but she’d come home and start drinking, then later in the evening poke her head into my room seeming sober and saying let’s go hit up a bar or something. So we’d be out for a few hours, get home, and the next…

Right. The point is that he’s dumb.

My childhood best friend is a blackout drunk and I was the anointed minder because I stayed much the same when I drank and my inhibition usually just lowered to tell more people off.But like you can tell when somebody is too drunk to consent. There wasn’t too much difference from the times she remembered to those…

As a pretty bad blackout drunk for a half decade of my life I have heard some pretty insane stories about myself that I’ll never remember doing. I’ve also made some pretty regrettable choices in my life, both romantic and otherwise. I’ve also seen some video’s of myself and there really is just no way anyone could…

This discussion has been amazing — I always assumed blacked out = passed out. I have a friend who (I know now) blacks out, and I never realized the extent of it until we took photos at a after-party a few months ago and showed them to her the next day. She’d been seemingly ‘present’ the whole time, her normal self —…

So, technically if a person is intoxicated they can’t give consent. That is totally easy to understand when the person is wobbly and not with it. Clearly, 100000000% wrong. what’s tricky is that, at least in the situations I’ve experienced, really intoxicated people are often rearing to go. I’ve seen multiple people…

Similar situation here. You could be seen to be consenting if you are able to actually communicate during this blackout period. I had sexsomnia (diagnosed) that appeared out of the blue 6'ish years ago. Long story short, I didn’t remember having sex with my wife numerous times in the middle of the night. She was more…

I am not normally a blackout drunk (I occasionally lost seconds or minutes, never hours) but I have been a heavy drinker in the past and have been around them many times. The amount their behavior changes varies a lot from person to person. The majority are exactly what you’d expect: they’re clearly inebriated, can’t…

When I was taking SSRIs, I started having issues with blacking out while drinking. I wouldn’t be drinking “too much”: I would have a few drinks, be pleasantly buzzed, not even drunk, and I would have no memory of the rest of the evening. What used to be my “limit” was way beyond blackout while I was taking the…

Is it wrong to think “sheesh that’s an interesting life!” Obviously this assessment changes the second you deem it no longer ok...

That has to be seriously scary. Knowing that there is almost a whole other you, that you have no memory of.

This is so timely;on Friday,me and two friends went out for tacos and karaoke. Friend A was pretty drunk before we went for food,Friend B was fine. When we got to the karaoke place,Friend A had a few more (I was the driver,and was sober the whole time,observing this). By the time we left the karaoke place, Friend A…

That really sucks. I’m sorry you have to deal with that.

the same happened to me with a male acquitance. I was blackout drunk at the begginning and I suppose unconcious later. my friends said I was conscious when they left me, but I don’t remember anything after the 5th shot of whiskey, and they were all still there then. If I hadn’t found a picture on his phone, I would…

One of my best friends from graduate school was a black out drunk. To the point where he would wake up on a Saturday morning and have to become a detective to find out where his keys, cell phone and laptop were. They were ALL over town.

I was a blackout drinker in my twenties and was always told you could barely tell I was inebriated. Able to speak articulately and make decisions, but didn’t remember a thing the next day.

My friends who are blackout drunks were themselves, but a little more wildly manic for episodes they didn’t remember.

My old drummer would get super aggressive, both physically and sexually, when she would get drunk enough but had no memory of it, to the point of thinking we were making it up, until I finally recorded a video of her doing it. She just seems like a regular drunk person, physically. No extra swaying, no closed or…

I was raped when I was black out drunk as a teenager. It took me 5-10 years to admit to myself I didn’t consent and deserved better from a fellow human. I’m sorry these people took advantage of you, who knows to what degree they were aware. Sex/threesomes deserve the respect of consciousness.
