I've never blacked out, I've never even been drunk.
Once on New years Eve, trust me its not pleasent.
I've settled down some, but when I was younger :drunk: :hanged: ....
Hazy about the details the next morning, probably 1/2 a dozen or so. An actual honest-to-God blackout? 4, maybe 5 times. On the last one, Mrs. Corleone told me that she would be invoking "till Death do us part" option on the contra ct to void it, so I've lighted up some since.
The most interesting (as in 10 years later and I'd still like to know wtf happened...) I woke up in Pittsburgh just after noon on a Sunday in a girl's dorm room. I had started out by drinking at a basketball game on Saturday afteroon. In Connecticut. 800 miles away. :dizzy2:
Reminds me of the story of some writer who started drinking in Paris one night and ended up in Sardinia the next morning without a clue of what happened in between. I wish I could remember who it was.
:laugh4: at the last story, Don. That musta been one hell of a trip.
Wow Don that's pretty nuts....Quote:

I think it depends a lot on whose room you end up in. :sweatdrop:
Maybe blackouts allow us to beam ourselves on an overconscious level something or other. :dizzy2:
Maybe I should try that...
I think 4 or 5 is a stretch. I'm counting and I think 3 is the right number, and the last time something like that happened was 7 years ago. As for the girl in Pittsburgh, we didn't sleep together that night, I just crashed at her place. Apparently, I wasn't even acting drunk. The next day they all thought I was putting on an act. Uh, yeah, I'm just pullin your leg! :idea2:
Teetotaller here.
I expect you're not counting general anaesthesia. If you were it'd be 1 for my wisdom teeth.

Seeing as some of us have unknowingly talked, acted, charmed, ... our way into the favour of girls/boys during our black-out I must reach an interesting conclusion.
Keeping in mind the fact that the subject doesn't remember what he/she did during his/her black-out while a large percentage of those subjects can prove they won the favour of one or more girls/women during there black-out (waking up in her/his room, kissing her/him, ...). I must assume that there is an even higher percentage of subjects that can't prove that they won the favour of one of more girls/boys during there black-out.
As such, I can only reach one conclusion:
Blacking out makes a the subject an irresistible lust object, or at least very likeable.
P.S. I'm looking for volunteers to test this theory on.
Heh, I remember having the opinion that those who claimed to having blackouts were full of s**t.
It was just a charade to cover up that they had acted stupid. I based this reasoning on the belief that people acting out of character when drunk showed their true self. If they had sex with catatonic women, they were rapists. If they brawled, they were thugs etc.
I believed that to really get to know a person, you would would need to get that person exceptionally drunk. What came out of that person then would be their true nature.
I am trying to abort such beliefs, but it is hard.
By your reasoning then I would be a lazy, somewhat disturbed man with a disproportioned sex drive...
... Wait, that isn't far from the truth.
That may be somewhat true Sigurd and because I fear similar things I always try to maintain control over myself(then again, if I am in control over me, that's me isn't it?), I mean I don't know what I'd do once I lose control, two scenarios I find possible for myself:
1. Annoy a nice lady by blabbering and drooling around her either in emo "I never had a woman"-style or whatever else annoying I can come up with. :sweatdrop:
2. Deep down inside me I have my old bloodlust and maybe a lot of aggression locked up, I think, would be nice if it's not there anymore but if I'd open the lock being drunk, bad things may come out. :viking:
There was also this movie trailer which said: "We are what we pretend to be."
It's about computer games but the statement is rather general and true I think, except in the context the trailer uses it. :laugh4:
Can you stop talking about yourself? Gah!Quote:
