    Default How Often do you blackout?

    **DISCLAIMER** Ice does not endorse nor approve of underage drinking. All drinking done by Ice is done on foreign soil where it is perfectly legal.

    That being said, how many times have you blacked out?

    I was just talking to my Korean suitmate who made me laugh by saying people blacking out in their teens in Korea is quite common. He even woke up in the middle of a road once!

    I honestly can't say I've ever blacked out. Passed out, sure. Thrown up, sure. Not blacked out though.

    Same here Ice, never drank that much.

    Oh, and a Korean saying he blacked out is just cliché. Did he say how much, give or take, he had to drink that particular day ?

    I don't drink alcohol. Getting drunk just doesn't really appeal to me. Same thing with getting high on drugs.

    I've had nights after which I've woken up and been a little hazy about the details-the worst being when I couldn't remember if I'd slept with someone I woke up next to, got out of there pretty fast-but I've never had the complete absence of recall that the term black-out implies.

    Never. Not even this one time me and a buddy were walking through the streets carrying two crates of beer and finished both of them quickly plus some more heavier liquor. I was fresh enough -- composed, logical and mentally in control -- to even engage a non-alcoholic person in debate and defeat him. I wish only a cop had engaged us, for I would've used my logic and persuasion to convince him he was out of order even though he was a policeman ding his job

    Alcohol wise, no - drunkenness doesn't appeal to me, although being mildly tipsy, as in three/four glasses of wine, is something which does. This is especially useful at parties where I need it to actually show my relaxed side - I'm typically a bit of a dull person when sober

    Really can't see the point in drinking, tbh. Just because it is legall makes it no better than illiegal drugs. You should be sufficently mature and self aware to amuse yourself and others without needing to blur your brain to do so.

    TBH, I doubt I will ever drink, except maybe at a funeral or the like out of respect for others. I probably wouldn't say this IRL, but the reason why I will never drink is becuase I am frightened of it. I have gone through 18 years of life with my brain being pretty much my one and only asset (I am not physicaly stong or tall), and so far it seems to me that I am more intellegent than most (arogance I know, but...), why would I want to loose this, in exchange for what?

    Respect? Very definately not nessecary. All of my over age friends drink, some quite alot, and whatever people say about being the only sober one is not true. Its great fun the next day when you sneak up and shout in their ear. Also of course it is fun to be the only one who not only didn't do anything stupid, but remembers all the stupid things other people did. I love blackmail...

    The privelige of waking up afterwards with no memory of the night before and 500 less brain cells? I don't think so, thanks.

    I admit that alchohol probaly helps to make new friends, but if that is nescecary, I don't want to be friends with them anyway, so...

    But mankind generally is immature. Even if one does not drink alcoholic drinks, the question is is this person truly mature because of it? It is easy to throw around words such as maturity self-awareness but really...

    TBH, I doubt I will ever drink, except maybe at a funeral or the like out of respect for others. I probably wouldn't say this IRL, but the reason why I will never drink is becuase I am frightened of it. I have gone through 18 years of life with my brain being pretty much my one and only asset (I am not physicaly stong or tall), and so far it seems to me that I am more intellegent than most (arogance I know, but...), why would I want to loose this, in exchange for what?
    I doubt drinking alcoholic beverage is really a sign of respect at a funeral. If you attend a funeral is it not respectful already? What if you compose a music piece for the one who perished? Is it not respectful? Or what if you do something else to show your respect, something you know the dead one would find respectful? May it be drinking to one's passing away or another act or acts.

    A beer once in a while isn't all that bad. If you truly are that intelligent as you claim, a few beers now and then won't hurt you much. Of course, do it at your own risk, if you do it.

    What I'm gonna say is personal and private, but at the moment I don't really give a **** 'cause I'm making a point I want you to understand. I remember I was able to multitask a lot, having many difficult intensive threads processed by the brain, lots of creativity and intellect, lots of speed of processing, all the different parts of the brain perfectly in connection and optimal (creativity, rationality, emotion, etc.) etc., but you know... At some point I drank a lot, and whaddaya know, it remained there. If you think alcohol is going to damage you that badly, think again. A few beers here and there ain't bad for you, in fact a beer might stimulate you. You know what's going to damage you? Aging, (negative) emotions, serious accidents, bad education institutes, and the likes, not a few beers now and then. Of course if you can't handle alcohol, then stay away from it or learn to handle it.

    As for "sociable" don't get me started...
    Please get started. I wish to read what you think.

    Now, let's open up a beer and rejoice in drinking one


    EDIT: I forgot to add, women might damage you too. They are the most hazardous creatures existing (if you are vulnerable that is). It is generally more predictable to fight off a bear or a lion 'cause you know all the possibilities. With women you gotta be in control and know exactly what you're doing and what she's thinking.

    Doing stupid stuff is part of the human experience! Like that time I played bloody knuckles (sober), or when I grabbed that burning stick that somehow ended up ten to twenty feet away from my fire last week and ran it back to the fire, after which I threw it back into the fire and it almost bounced back onto my shoes, or when later that night I put my hand in the fire to put that big log into it without throwing up sparks and setting a friend's afro on fire.

    No burns that night, and everyone was sober (we're all underage), and part of the fun was the random mischief!

    Oh yeah and I like drinking moderately, excessive drinking doesn't appeal to me, but drinking a few beers, especially after hard work, definitely does.

    To my knowledge, passing out is when you simply lose conciousness, and blacking out is when you forget everything about when you were drinking.

    Personally, I have never done either, and have no intention of doing so. Besides, alcohol has an interesting effect on me - it calms me down right from the get-go. My girlfriend was laughing at me last summer at a wedding (I had a few beers, she nothing) because I was getting calmer as the other guests became more rowdy.

    Only once, in which I had my collarbone broken and my skull torn really wide.

    Not because of drinking (I don't drink). I had stumbled into a d@μn chain which shouldn't have been there.

    Never, I don't see the point in drinking so much I pass out, vomit or don't remember what happened. I drink to the point where I feel tipsy but I always stop myself drinking too much.

    I always drink excessively (i don't drown my sorrows, i tie concrete blocks to their feet and throw them in the ocean) and have never passed out or vomited or any of that sort of thing. The worse thing that's happened is lying down looking at the sky, rolled over to see something only to roll straight onto some broken glass some idiot had been throwing about earlier - now i have a big 3-inch scar on left elbow. But then, i had also been smoking a bit of the 'wacky tobaccy' which also helped dull the pain.

    Alright, then once is the number of times for that, too.
    Interestingly enough, I've never vomited due to anything other than one bad case of sea-sickness.

    Only once. The next afternoon I woke up and couldn't remember at what time I went home or how I had gotten there. I broke one or two things in my room (nothing expensive) and still had my contacts in and my clothes on.
