Drinking and Blacking out un-appreciation thread

[BedRoomI'z]

I never really black out to the point where I can't remember shyt, but I do tend to have foggy memories of certain parts of the night on regular occasions. Through out my teen years I would wake up with massive hangovers and be vomiting each time. That's probably what drinking cheap shots of vodka will do to you.

For some nikkas yes. Like the nikka above who said he drank half a bottle of whiskey a day . But for alot of people like myself it really can be an accident, and at the time being an unexperienced drinker. Trust me you go a period w/ only 3-4hrs of sleep in a 48hr period and not really eating much ( college can be rough when a nikka run outta dem meal plan points) and then take 5 shots within 15min you going wake up the next day with a whole lot of stories being told to you.

A normal person doesnt black out. If they drink too much they throw up and pass out. An alcoholic will drink too much black out and keep going. Drastic personality chnges are another symptom too though.

umm blacking out is a symptom of alcoholism. Not saying you are one now but it leaves you highly vulnerable to developing it. I would cool it on the drinks.

No, it's the result of "heavy episodic drinking", actually. You don't need to be an alcoholic, or even be on the verge of becoming one, to experience it.

I also wouldn't necessarily agree with the idea that partaking in excessive drinking leads to any sort of vulnerability in the future. If that were the case at least a couple of my friends from university would be in AA by now.

Alcoholism usually stems from an inability to cope with problems in life and/or an already addictive personality type.

heavy episodic drinking aka binge drinking is another symptom of alcoholism. Anytime you binge on anything its a problem. Just because your friends arent in AA or appear to be functioning doesnt mean they dont have a drinking problem. I dont know your friends personally but just because someone isnt drinking a 5th a day doesnt mean they arent an alcoholic. Different things trigger different people..

I've blacked out on 3 separate occasions for several hours and each time I was apparently wild as hell, and one of the times I was even coherent....It ain't the best way to live your life lol. Luckily I had good friends each time and wasn't robbed/fukked with. Once on my 21st Bday, once on 4 Lokos and Moonshine at a tailgate, and once just getting fukked up way too quickly...

It's scary yet amazing how the body still functions in auto-pilot. I think I'd prefer to just pass out.

Blacked out friday night...woke up getting cuffed up by the laws

Yeah, having shaky hands is also a common symptom of alcoholism as well. Not all people with shaky hands are alcoholics, however.

According to whom? From my personal experience, a good ninety percent of my so-called binge drinking ended up leading to a great time. You suggested that HED makes one "highly vulnerable" or susceptible to alcoholism. Untrue. A quick search reveals that only six percent of people end up having a "substance use disorder" later on, i.e. alcoholism. Hardly enough to advise someone blacking out for their first time to "cool it with the drinking" or to make misleading statements about his one-off incident.

Just because your friends arent in AA or appear to be functioning doesnt mean they dont have a drinking problem. I dont know your friends personally but just because someone isnt drinking a 5th a day doesnt mean they arent an alcoholic. Different things trigger different people..

At what point would you classify someone as an alcoholic? Having a drink daily? Two? Three? Once a week? Someone intentionally getting tipsy off cocktails at a party? Someone that regularly has an alcoholic beverage with their dinner or lunch?

-edit. I've just noticed the t/s' username. The irony isn't lost upon me.

Had Burnett's a few times.. we mainly rocked with Vladimir or Nikolai though. You could get a half gallon for like 12 bucks.

Of course not. Could be a symptom of another disease. But what other disease would binge drinking apply to?

Ive been to rehab twice. And Its common sense. Too much of anything is bad for you. Bulimics go on food binges, cokeheads go on coke binges, etc etc. Anyway most people with substance abuse problems start off having a good time in the beginning. Its all fun until something is triggered inside them and they start self medicating. A drinkign problem is something that develops over time but some people are simply born more vulnerable to developng one. I wouldnt put too much stock in stats on drug addiction because there are alot of undocumented people that never seek professional help for their problem due to a variety of reasons. Denial and ignorance being big ones. Are you aware that physicians have the highest rate of alcoholism and the lowest rate of treatment??

At what point would you classify someone as an alcoholic? Having a drink daily? Two? Three? Once a week? Someone intentionally getting tipsy off cocktails at a party? Someone that regularly has an alcoholic beverage with their dinner or lunch?

Like I said an alcoholic doesnt have x amount of drinks before he can be considered one. Substance abuse is not a cut and dry type of thing in that sense. here are just a few

1.) can you control your drinking once you start? If you say at the beginning of the night "im only drinking 4 drinks tonight" b ut still manage to somehow get shytfaced and black out..you might have a problem
2.) if your drinking as having negative impact on your life (losing your job, health, DUI, messing up relationships) and you still keep drinking, you might have a problem

3.) if you say your gonna stop and you dont..you might have a problem

4.) if youre drinking to avoid dealing with some issues in your life you might develop a problem.

Welp he already came in and addressed your posts. But to further elaborate from personal experience, I am faaaaaar from an alcoholic. At the time I only drank once every other weekend to go out to party. I wasnt coping for no personal problems or nothing. It was just a case of a nikka not realizing what he was doing until it was already done. Normally 5 shots in that time period wouldnt even be enough to get me blacked out, come to think of it it was more than 5shots but however many it was it really was a result of the circumstances I put myself under (not eating and sleeping). Friends of mine drank the same amount and they didnt black out and Im the same size as them so it made me wonder was so different when I drank. I did the research and realized what I did wrong (no sleep, empty stomach, drink too fast).

 

[itsyoung!!]

to me.. its the most embarassin thing you can do


when you dont remember its like did I try to fight someone I know ? did I throw up all the place ? I got too many stories of me blackin out and hearin I was fine and just knocked out eventually and then got stories of me tryna fight everyone, good peoples I know too

I wish it on no one and hope it never happens to me again

 

[AgentGrey]

well im po'd up, might have one of those nights tonight..
i feel justified in getting shytfaced drunk in the safety of my own home,
fukk all that noise
