Black outs
Posted by GetMistedSometimes that happens to me, only its wondering how I got to work.
I sometimes wake up in the morning with all the lights on, contacts in, nexflix still playing.. and wonder how I got to my bed.
It is the most unsettling thing ever
I feel so bad doubting and judging people all those years
I feel so bad doubting and judging people all those years
But did I kill a part of my brain? because prior to the JD incident I never blacked out and I drank myself straight retarded quite a few times and weighed like 100 lbs back then
Now it happens like every time man
Am I just getting old ? ?

Today's meeting topic:
Are you a blackout drinker... or don't you
remember?
-28 Days 😄
@brianafay
Lay off the hard liquor.
If it happens with beer and wine too, that's
another discussion.

Posted by brianafaySo you get how important it is to not fuck someone who is intoxicated. Since someone could have fucked you without your consent or knowledge...

The argument of "she didn't tell me no" doesn't apply when someone is under the influence.

It really is so unsettling
But yeah a friend of mine was date raped in college and she never pressed charges because she blamed herself
She said "I was so fucked up, I probably wanted to"

Posted by brianafayI had a friend who was raped at a party, she blacked out and could remember none of it but waking up in a strangers bed with vomit down her chest and no panties was a good indicator.Posted by LadyNeptunePosted by brianafayNot at all.

Took her to the hospital for a rape kit, filed charges, the whole 9 yards...didn't do any good. The police totally slut shamed her as well. It's such bullshit.
I started blacking out due to anger... but, fear of loosing the fight brought me back.
Then, liquor... woke up after a work function (on travel) leaning back on the very edge of my hotel bed w/toilet paper hanging out of my pants. I was in horror. Luckily, my girls had me... a Virgo (always) and a Sag.
It happens when I forget to eat first or during.
It's been a long time. I can see the curtains closing behind my eyes and I quickly exit stage left.
I am always in good company... fam and close friends.
That's why I love Elton John's "Someone Saved My Life Tonight." lol
Edit: No, I've really had some close calls w/the wolves waiting... I made it though.

It's bad ?
Same with my friend - it was a guy she had just recently started seeing ...he was a very respected law student.
She woke up naked in bed the next day and when she texted him and tried to fish for what happened he said "don't worry, nothing you'd regret" with a fucking wink face!!!!
Still makes my blood boil thinking about it
She could have gotten seriously ill too because she was on her cycle and had a tampon in and it was pushed up inside her for 5 days before she figured it out - that was her solid confirmation of what happened and she still refused to go to the cops

I rarely ever have memory loss while drinking. A couple of months ago however it happened. I had a ton of shots that night and I normally don't allow myself to take shots, it inhibits my ability to control how much I drink etc however friends of mine who are Leo's are insanely insistent and bothersome.
Anyway I had some shots. Got wasted. Intentionally ran into an ex (my friends intended this to happen) went to a party and drank even more, got some food, went to my exes with my good friend and her side hoe and we all are and had more drinks and the sun was coming up and they slipped off to the office section of his hotel suit and we kinda had some shit go down.
Next day he was in the shower and I was up running around with a sheet on attempting to find the condom. ?
We talked about it afterwards and he said that he knows we used one but has no idea where it is. I jumped in the shower and checked lol and obviously not there but I had to and I was so freaked out because I know that he's capable of cumming even if he's drunk.
Anyway there's huge memory loss in there. I know the basics of what I did but barely anything in between. I have this thing where lol I send myself text messages to let myself know where I am and where I'm going and who I'm with etc when I go out drinking. I do it because if something happens or I'm lost or anything really I want my dad to track my timeline.
Once that huge memory loss happened that night. I sat in my bedroom later after a second shower and I felt tremendous guilt and humiliation. I shouldn't drink to that point and I should control how much I drink and not allow friends to influence that. It was at that moment that I really decided to not drink anymore. I'm happy I don't need alcohol in my life anymore to have fun.
Still never found out of we used a condom. He claims we did but I have a feeling we didn't. I got tested for stds and it's clear and I'm not pregnant so I guess that's good ?
Getting that drunk is risky for a woman. So many things can be done to you. It's a scary thought.
My Sagi friend sends herself texts too!
It's pretty smart I just don't think by the time I get to that point I will remember to do that

Thankfully I've always had good friends that have never left me in that state

Posted by brianafayBlacking out is your brain's way of keeping you alive. It literally diverts all of its efforts from maintaining non vital tasks such as memory to keeping the rest of your body alive when you have too much alcohol in your system. It will maintain this until something is done to help stabilize/reduce the alcohol content in your body.
So I used to be super skeptical of people who claimed to "black out" while drinking and couldn't remember anything from the night before
(excluding people who were legit drugged)
I thought it was just an escape/cope tactic...like "oh I don't remember the embarrassing shit you said I did so it never happened"
Then it happened to me...after drinking Jack Daniels all day at the pool a few years ago.
I literally lost 15 hours of my life. I saw pictures later and I swear it was like the Hangover ....I couldn't remember even being alive that day.
My question is - does anyone know why this happens? I feel like I killed a part of my brain or something because now I black out pretty much every time I drink more than a few drinks
It's disturbing !
I won't even know how I got home
So basically blacking out is your brain's defense mechanism to keep you from killing yourself.
I rarely ever get blacked-out drunk anymore since I usually just do beer all night & maybe a shot. I blacked out a few years ago after killing a bottle & a half of Blue Label between 4 people within an hour (it was really 2, the 2 others were just sipping and me & my friend pounded that bottle). Ended up waking up in the hospital after I passed out in the parking lot and someone found me in the rain at 3AM. The report said I was at a 0.29 BAC & I flatlined in the ambulance so they had to resuscitate. Lucky to be alive with just a scar.
I started drinking when I was 19. First stuff like beer and wine, then on to hard liquor. By the time I was doing full time in college at age 21, due to the availability of cheap alcohol, I became a full fledged alcoholic.I was drinking more than eating, went to morning classes still drunk from the night before. Black outs were almost regular for me.
One incident stands out - was playing cards with flatmates, and drinking strong doses of screwdrivers. Then someone comes in and says we can do a bucket. I remember being drunk, I also remember saying I wanted to do the bucket. Then I don't remember anything after that. In the morning woke up in my bed, smelling of vomit and with bruised knuckles. I asked my flatmates what happened.
Turns out immediately after doing the bucket I threw up all over the living room.Then passed out. My Gem flatmate was the one who carried me to my room, but because he was also drunk, he couldn't prevent my knuckles from being dragged against the wall. I've not had a blackout of such epic proportions since.
Oh and I barely drink anymore.

Posted by brianafayIf you're blacking out every time you drink, you're either drinking WAY too much, or your body has become drastically less resistant to the alcohol's affects (which is common more with age). This could also point to a weakened liver, since alcohol is still filtered through that organ. Give your body and break and allow yourself to recuperate.Posted by ChuckcemThat's scary!

Also drinking Jack Daniels all day is a lot of alcohol for ANYONE. That's a feat I would pull in my 20s but definitely couldn't pull off now. Definitely pump your breaks on the alcohol and start taking milk thistle supplements to help maintain your liver's health. The last thing you want is to contract is cirrhosis.

I was only 25 or 26 for the JD incident and that won't be happening again

But once I drank a whole 5th of henny during my friend's Bachelorette party and I didn't remember ANYTHING they said I did the next day.. It was hilarious but damn.. & I didn't throw up.. or anything like that.. I walked in my hotel room fine.. without help.. I just forgot shit.. lol
Why do people drink in excess and not know their limits? Someone doesn't force you to drink THAT much.
Posted by brianafay
But did I kill a part of my brain? because prior to the JD incident I never blacked out and I drank myself straight retarded quite a few times and weighed like 100 lbs back then
Now it happens like every time man
Am I just getting old ? ?
It's strange how we forget that alcohol is actually just another drug. It's a mystery as to why it is still legal to be honest. (not that I am complaining of course)
But to answer your question the part of the brain that is affected is the hippocampus and is caused by some or other chemical disruption that alcohol causes. The hippocampus is of course the part of the brain where memory is formed.
There are also two types of blackouts from alcohol, one where you don't remember but your memory is jogged when people start to tell you things and then of course where you don't remember anything at all, even after people tell and show, so to speak. So its like amnesia. The thing about this is of course when this happens its because of the level or amount of alcohol that has been consumed.
To help not suffer from this, you can try drinking on a full tummy (after a meal/food) and drinking over a longer period of time. so if you normally drink 5 drinks in an hour, cut it down to 3 drinks an hour. I read that once it happens the first time, you more prone to experiencing it again after. And of course women suffer from it far more than men do #true story :-)

Just for the sake of making sure we're all on the same page, there's a difference between the body shutting your shit down and causing you to fall into a deep "black-out" type sleep from drinking too much. That's what happens to less experienced drinkers.
A true "black-out" is when you keep going. My friend's dad was arrested once for a busted taillight. The police didn't even suspect he was drunk until they caught wind of his breath. He passed the drunk test, but he blew a .4, which would kill many people. He didn't remember anything the next day.
Yes Im talking about a true black out ...
I have literally seen photographic evidence of things people told me I did and still not even remotely recall being there
I've met someone who I apparently hung out at her house while blacked out and played with her dog yet I couldn't remember ever seeing her before in my life (we met her at the pool I guess?)
She was like "you definitely seemed drunk but it's not like you were passed out on my couch - you kept trying to take my dog for a walk" ??
Never had a hangover tho...
this is one reason that married people live longer (well, not the ones in shitty marriages lol)
Posted by Eddie_VanjoviI understand exactly where you are coming from which is why I insure when I drink like that, I am with friends or family that I can truly trust.. Because you are bound to make some eff'd up decisions under the influence of alcohol.. I always make sure at least someone that I'm with will say, "NO!" for me if I can't do so myself and will protect me if need be..Posted by poison_ivyTo me (not your situation), but these positions that people put themselves in always ends in trouble. It's like you know you're going to walk into a minefield when there is a safe, but longer passage around the minefield, but you decide to go threw and you hit a landmine.Posted by Eddie_VanjoviI know my limit..

These are situations that can easily be avoided. But what these people do, when they take advantage of you from your mistake, is absolutely sickening beyond words.
This is off topic, but it's like abortions. To me, I'm usually for it. Rape victims, if you can't support the child, etc., it seems logical to me to not bring a child in this world if you're going to only make their lives worse. But one argument my friend made was simple: "condoms". The resources for safe sex is there. Knowing the consequences, you chose to do something stupid and ended up having to take a rather big responsibility.
Again, I'm not "blaming" them for what happened to them. But I do find it stupid people would knowingly put themselves in these situations.click to expand
Those who drink and get themselves into "ugly" situations where they could be taken advantage of need to think more clearly and it is def sickening for the ones that are taking the advantage to do what they do.. It's horrible, IMO...
& I am against abortions, unless there is someone in the position of becoming pregnant during rape.. to each their own tho.. If I make the decision to drink, have sex on my own will, without protection.. and become pregnant.. Then I need to take full responsibility of my choices... I would never put myself in this situation so like I say, every man for themselves..
I only drink a couple of times a year really but I think I'm just gonna have to say no thanks from now on
Scary stuff
I'd rather drink tea anyway cause I'm an old fart

Posted by Eddie_VanjoviPosted by poison_ivyTo me (not your situation), but these positions that people put themselves in always ends in trouble. It's like you know you're going to walk into a minefield when there is a safe, but longer passage around the minefield, but you decide to go threw and you hit a landmine.Posted by Eddie_VanjoviI know my limit.. I've never been "THAT" girl.. Sloppy, falling all over the place, throwing up on everything and everyone.. NEVER ever.. I drink STRONG liquor too... But once I drank a whole 5th of henny during my friend's Bachelorette party and I didn't remember ANYTHING they said I did the next day.. It was hilarious but damn.. & I didn't throw up.. or anything like that.. I walked in my hotel room fine.. without help.. I just forgot shit.. lol
Why do people drink in excess and not know their limits? Someone doesn't force you to drink THAT much.

Well yeah
But personally speaking, I don't ever plan on drinking like that ...it just escalates I guess
Like this past weekend for example - I had 2 drinks with dinner because we went to this super trendy hipster place that makes their own ginger beer so I knew the Moscow mules would be off the chain ...
Then when we got to the next bar I tried to just order water, but everyone whined and was like "come on Bri it's 8:30 !!" so I was like ok, fine, one more drink and I'm done though
But then I guess I must have forgotten why I shouldn't have another , because a few drinks later and the next thing I knew I was waking up in the morning like wtf happened
I don't drink, not eve a cup of coffee - just me. But if I know someone personally for a long time and only when they are drunk they get mean and say a lot of mean, cruel and hurtful stuff and want me to believe that they didn't mean it - sorry I am not buying whatever they are selling.
I am of the mindset that "A drunk man's words are a sober man thoughts." and keep it moving. I only give people the opportunity to poke me in the eye once. No excuses!

Yep this has happened to me more than a few times. Horrible feeling, that feeling of dread when you wake up and can't recall what happened the night before... scary. I always joke and say I'm "bad at drinking" but truly I don't know what it is about my body but I always black out. So therefore you will rarely catch me drinking more than maybe 1 drink these days. Not worth it. I wish I had an answer for why it happens because I'm curious as well. Just the other night I went out with my boyfriend, I had 1 drink and cut myself off.. he went a little hard and was in black out zone by the time we got home. I had to legit undress him and somehow maneuver him up to get him into bed Bc he had fallen on the floor. He was saying all kinds of crazy shit he definitely did not mean and I coulda done anything to him at that moment. That was probably the first time I experienced it on the other end. It's scary to watch and know that's been me before. I was so worried all night.
Posted by AndalusiaI know how I got to work - I just don't know how I worked! ?Posted by GetMistedSometimes that happens to me, only its wondering how I got to work.
I sometimes wake up in the morning with all the lights on, contacts in, nexflix still playing.. and wonder how I got to my bed.click to expand
Posted by MagicMonaThat figures!
i dont black out from drinks. i black out due to dangerously high levels of anger. seriously.
Posted by LadyNeptuneEverything for you has to do with sex.Posted by brianafayNot at all. Just pointing out how scary it is to black out and have no knowledge of your own actions or others towards you.Posted by LadyNeptunePosted by brianafaySo you get how important it is to not fuck someone who is intoxicated. Since someone could have fucked you without your consent or knowledge...
It is the most unsettling thing ever
I feel so bad doubting and judging people all those years
Why are you even asking me that though ?
Is this side shade meant for another DXPer?

So, I have a major schedule change coming up in June, and I won't be able to utilize my campus gym. So, I'm thinking about joining a "24/7" fitness center for the sake of workout flexibility. I'd be able to make use of their weight room until I'm back on

We're having a very nice conversation over a glass of champagne. Taurus Sheep and Virgo Rabbit. I think I'm in love. :)
Is that a good thing or a bad thing? When someone says that to you, do you feel complimented or insulted?

I thought it was just an escape/cope tactic...like "oh I don't remember the embarrassing shit you said I did so it never happened"
Then it happened to me...after drinking Jack Daniels all day at the pool a few years ago.
I literally lost 15 hours of my life. I saw pictures later and I swear it was like the Hangover ....I couldn't remember even being alive that day.
My question is - does anyone know why this happens? I feel like I killed a part of my brain or something because now I black out pretty much every time I drink more than a few drinks
It's disturbing !
I won't even know how I got home
