My Dad was a life long alcoholic until he woke up in a motel room in another state. He had absolutely no memory of the past 7 days and had no clue what happened to his car which he never did find. He was able to trace his path between home and the motel room by his credit card usage at various gas stations and restaurants but still no memory. That was the last time he drank.

blacking out is absolutely just like a lightswitch for me, one second i remember and the very next second i’m waking up the next day like i just blinked
It's because they are away from the reason they don't drink and when they taste that freedom they feel like they can do whatever they want (this was me)
I’d say that’s extremely anecdotal. My experience would heavily suggest otherwise, but that’s why we don’t make points based on limited observations....
I've done positively *insane and violent* shit while in blackouts - nearly lost my life more than once - I've come out of blackouts while in jail having absolutely no recollection of why I was there or what I did to get arrested - I've come out of blackouts bloody while having no idea if it was my blood or someone else's...what terrifies me more than anything are the things I've done in a blackout that I still have no recollection of because no one's ever had the chance to tell me about it...I am sober now for 10 years and it's the *only* reason I am still alive.
"For the first time ever I saw the Scotch in their natural habitat, and it weren't pretty. I'd seen them huddling in stations before, being loud but… this time I was surrounded. Everywhere I went it felt like they were watching me; fish-white flesh puckered by the Highland breeze; tight eyes peering out for fresh meat; screechy, booze-soaked voices hollering out for a taxi to take 'em halfway up the road to the next all-night watering hole. A shatter of glass; a round of applause; a sixteen-year-old mother of three vomiting in an open sewer, bairns looking on, chewing on potato cakes. I ain’t never going back… not never." Rick Dagless MD
I was blackout many many times in my 20s. Scary not knowing what happened whilst in that state, only hearing of the aftermath or seeing the evidence after sobering up (wasn't sober too often). But I have 5 years completely clean and sober now, and I wouldn't trade it for anything! I do miss the good times and euphoria sometimes, but not nearly enough to revisit the absolute hell of alcoholism/addiction.
Relatable to that now. Just turned 21 been drinking for a while. It doesn’t interfere with my daily responsibilities and I refuse to blackout in a social setting anymore. But the only reason I stopped is because I’d hate waking up in the morning and asking my friends what happened the night before. Whiskey can make you do terrible things.
I'm an alcoholic, going to meetings, trying to recover. 33 days without a drink. Can't tell you how many times when I was loaded that I was totally coherent and functional, only to wake up the next day missing keys, wallets, etc. No idea what I had done. Closest people to me didn't even know until I admitted my problem and asked for help. Life long battle, hardest thing to quit. It's literally everywhere, available almost at any moment.
My brother will go to work drunk some mornings . Not another family member nor a co worker can tell he’s been drinking , but there’s something vacant in the eyes and some slight mannerisms that you can only see if you know what to look for .
You gotta learn to hate it bro. It’s always going to be available. My girl even drinks still but that doesn’t mean i need to. We have to fully accept that our days of drinking for fun are done and that if we want a great life we must stay away from it. Then and only then will you feel relieved of the pressure being put on you mentally with still wanting that drink. Best of luck friend.
Y’all special you under stand the death of brain cells comes from repeated alcohol withdrawal bc of glutamate excitoticity, alcohol isn’t good but it binds to gaba-A and is a nmda antagonist this action reduces excitory neurotransmitters and prevents memory formation it’s not brain damage, and any brain damage that occurs while drunk would occur after respiratory depression and oxygen deprivation to the brains please research what you speak on before you speak it
When I'm blacked out I'm either the life of the party or the guy everyone wants to beat up and I wake up worried and anxious wondering how many people I pissed off and if I completely embarrassed myself and will be even invited to go out to places with certain people anymore
Bro I totally get that! But cut yourself some slack. It’s strange times and it’s got people acting up everywhere. Everyone is just as insecure but can hide it. That’s what life is, you gotta fake it till you make it! So roll with the punches I’d say. Just be careful next time. At least you’re not waking up hungover and sunburned on a roof in Vegas about to miss your own wedding.

@@RealAliAlsuhail I've been telling people that for years - yet they still try to convince me that certain alcohol affects them differently, it is simple: try to count the alcohol units (volume * alcohol strength / 1000. Whether it is beer, vodka, whiskey or whatever else if the units are the same and the circumstances and mental state are the same plus time passed since last time drinking then the effects will be roughly the same.
I used to get blackout drunk from time to time. It's a scary thing. One time I suddenly skipped from nighttime to early morning in the blink of an eye and the room went from normal to totally trashed in an instant. I know I did it but I have zero memory of it. Stuff like that is what made me realize I have a serious problem.
I had a blackout once that I can't seem to blame on the alcohol I was drinking that night. I did e too, so that further makes things harder to understand. But just like you, I went from perfectly ok with a good buzz at night, to just opening my eyes and the sun was out... I didn't go to sleep. It felt like I just woke up without going to sleep. It felt like coming out of a 10 hour coma or something to that degree. One minute I was there, then I wasn't, then I was back again but 10 hours somehow passed... I'm starting to suspect someone put something in one of my drinks. I've blackout drinking hundreds of times, this wasn't the same thing. My first memory was my friend saying "lastnight was sooo much fun" and my response was "what night??!"
I got blackout drunk 3 times in my life, not knowing what happened terrified me so I stopped letting myself get drunk. When I feel I’m getting drunk I stop, drink water, eat something until it passes
Haaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaa haaaa, i used to take a bus to downtown Los Angeles from the valley, every time I’d get on some old lady would tell me I needed to pray or this...I’m going to Hell...every single time! Damn I was a natural pretty 18 year old quite conservative like the surfer girl I was. Old ladies didn’t like a pretty girl so sad how they judged me....mean
Got blackout drunk twice when I swapped J.Daniels for Everclear grain alcohol. Tried it twice, blacked out twice. No more Everclear for me. He describes my black outs perfectly. I remember doing a couple of shots then woke up elsewhere with no memory of the evening. I appairently carried on a while, but no recall.
I wanted that too. I think alcohol is alcohol. However people respond to different drugs. That's why people have drugs of choice. Some people can function on heroin and some cant. Some people can be drunk and function day to day routines, and some cant even walk or talk. We are all witnesses. Everyone eventually finds there drug of choice. Time decides that factor.
Alcohol is alcohol. It doesn't make a difference. What's different is the social settings and emotions tied to the alcohol. Some drinks are associated with partying (like shots of hard liquor) while some like wine are associated with relaxing. When you drink, your brain is making associations about how you've felt in the past and you will base your current experience off of past ones
Yes and no in my opinion. The only significant between different alcohols are the various percentages. If you're drinking wine or beer, your body absorbs that alcohol more slowly over a longer period of time, which causes more relaxing and mild effects. Since liquor is a solution sometimes mostly alcohol, it can hit your system faster and harder, which yields the more potent and negative effects. The main reason for why people consider liquor to be like a different strain of alcohol is because they're consuming entire servings of alcohol in a matter of seconds that has no other ingredients to buffer how fast it enters your bloodstream.
There's actually a scientific reason for that. Since alcohol is a depressant, your brain tries to counter it by releasing stimulants into your body. So as the alcohol is filtered out of your body, all that is left is the stimulants which jolt you awake. It's the same reason why even though you can sleep for like 10 hours after drinking heavily, you still usually feel like you didn't get any sleep because you never really enter REM sleep because of the stimulants.
The worst thing is when your blanked out drunk and you wake up in the morning and you asked what happened and they go “ oh you don’t remember?👀” hate that 🤣
Ugghh brings me right back to the repetitive & nonsensical, fumbling and rambling life lectures my dad would give me and my best friend every time he'd come hang out. Really lucked out with him still hanging out with me after all that shit growing up. I wonder where my issues with alcohol and communication stemmed from 🤔🤔🤔 lol
When I‘m super drunk I‘ll tell my best buddies that I am. And then 5 minutes later again when I see them. And then 10 minutes after again. That‘s me, the annoying repetitive dude
I love this meme of putting ridiculous things Joe has said as his middle name/nickname. I just wish I knew where it came from. :-( I feel left out on an inside joke that I really want to be a part of.
Lol very similar to how I get annoyed when my talking to my mom and her sleeping medication starts to kick in haha. I am much nicer to her than to a drunk tho hahaha
I'm stronger than you is this a meme account? Sorry to pull the veil away, but just seemed like a pointless comment to meme with, and a weirder one to say seriously
I don't drink anymore for this reason, I black out and act perfectly normal. I've woken up many days not remember anything and asking my friends the next day if I was acting weird and have never gotten a yes. It was truly frightening to me waking up again and again not remembering anything despite having crazy nights. Imagine my surprise thinking I had a chill night at the bar, just to find out we went to 3 bars, a chick's house, jumped in the pool, and did a dab of coke? It's scary waking up and not remembering shit.
I blacked out probably 50-100 times or so between 19-23. #1; I'm an only child I had no idea this wasn't normal #2 I ruined several great friendships this way as during blackout apparently my sexual overdrive kicks in #3 I never drank before college #4 Between the friendships I lost, the bad decisions I made, and probably the damage I caused torments me to this day. I wish to god that someone at an earlier age would have taught me how to navigate this instead of the romanticism of "get fucked up, show off, fit in" It fucked me up. I became massively depressed, gambled over 400k, could never open myself up to a meaningful relationship. I was so fucking retarded when it came to booze, someone handed me a bottle of Jameson, I thought it was like a beer, that to fit in, I was to finish the bottle. I came to after I hit my mother's Lexus. Like seriously, I am sure there are 100s of thousands just like me, that didn't know what we were doing, that torture ourselves every day thinking of mistakes, hurt friendships, and because of the way society is right now, were terrified to say anything. Thank god I learned from my mistakes and made it through but SO many aren't that lucky. We MUST change how we teach our children about the danger and proper use of alcohol.
If you gamble $400k, let alone have it, them you're doing something right. How could you ask this question and not have any sense about it. What you're saying is hard to make sense to me. You can't be that smart and that clueless at the same time 🤔
@@mvasqu762 nobodies perfect. Small problems to you, can lead others to drinking. Well, drinking leads to more problems when you can't deal with the small issues or problem you had at first. Rabbit hole until some life threatening event.
You're not alone dude, but you can't be that down on yourself, if I tried to think of and especially name all the shameful shit I've done while intoxicated on a number of drugs or alcohol I would not be able to live a normal life. A lot of people go through those experiences and if you never screwed up you would've never been able to learn and better appreciate your position. You had to learn for yourself, if someone just tells you then you would never listen - I know I didn't, I had to learn for myself.
I know where your coming from same thing happened to me but l went into someone’s back yard and got a nice clean pair. Went home allg.than had the police knocking on my front door next morning with jeans in hand (in a sealed plastic bag) .Asking me are there’s yours sir.And off cause they were mine.but denied it.Than they produced my wallet with ID everything in it. Lol
As a person who blacks out 70% of the time I’m out, I can relate to it all… 😅 I used to be able to tell when I should stop drinking, but not anymore; now it’s like ‘’I’m not that drunk, let’s drink another beer’’ and it all goes blank…
Malcolm gladwell is easily one of my favorite authors. Every time I dive into one of his books, I go down this winding journey with every detail poignantly spoken and educating. He seems so smart yet humble and clear headed. What a gift to have him share his intellect with so many.
Jon Keith I was prescribed 6mg a day from age like 15-21 and I drank during those times. Btw I am not bragging nor do I suggest I actually suggest you just stay away from them. I am just saying tolerances build fast and 6 mg a day I was fully functional worked and went to the gym 6 days a week. But I would some days abuse them and these were legit yellow prescription ones and I would sometimes take upwards of 50mg a day the scary part is you black out and can keep taking them I’ve woke up after counting the ones missing and was around 68mg this was when I was younger but I’m just giving you context and explanation that yes if you have never had them one bar can have you sleeping but tolerance builds ridiculously fast and the other really scary part is that benzos and alcohol are the only drugs you can die from withdrawal. Not heroin not meth just benzos and alcohol
Being "blackout" drunk has led me to doing drugs I thought I would never do. Alcohol should be something taught and learned about in school to a certain extent
this is a scary concept to me, i like drinking, i like smoking, but if i was drinking and someone offered me someting to smoke id probably no hesitarion hit it even if it was crack, id like to think i wouldnt but who really knows
I agree. I spent most of my mid 20s blackout drunk. The last straw for me was making friends with a methhead, who offered me meth and I was sober enough to be liker "wtf am I doing with my life" and that was the beginning of sobriety for me.
I told my daughter and her friends on verge of turning 19 to get ready for their drinking test. The have to go test their drinking to find out how many drinks they need to get black out drunk to get their drinking license so the bars know how much they can handle.
@@queengoblinBig fan of doing speed while drinking! Been a few times I will black out and then hit the pipe and snap back to reality haha people like to demonize all this stuff but the only real evil is giving Adderall to children to shill for the big pharma companies.

Several in my area alone ,have killed family members and friends while really drunk or blacked out. The last one killed his son. He was never charged because witnesses said the son pulled a knife out. Did matter, the father said he was in a blackout and when he woke up in jail with a horrible hangover, he thought is was for bs like public drunk. He made it about 6 months and committed suicide. (didn't matter not did) this device you have to delete and retype the whole Fn comment
I hate being blackout drunk. I have to ask people what happened and feel like I've missed everything. I usually avoid it but you don't know whether that one last drink is going to be the tipping point between blissfully tipsy and just gone lol
Ironically I stopped drinking heavily when I was finally 21. I did almost all of my partying when I was 17-19. I’ll have a drink if I’m out or a whiskey at home when I wanna relax, but I mellowed out so much
This is too relatable. I started drinking at like 14, and frequently drank to complete blackout. By the time I could drink legally, I had already had my fun and was ready to quit. Now days, I could have a few if I wanted and be alright, although tbh, I rarely want to.
Hand to God. In my lifetime, I must have blacked out (us Native Americans love the bottle) a little over 100 times. Based on the descriptions from my friends and family, my behaviour is completely random. 50% of the time, I’m hiccupy and woozy, the other 50% I’m annoyed or “rowdy”. I grew up in a home where if my father was drinking, he was drinking to black out and he would get very aggressive. Personally, I think your blackout behaviour is based on your recent experiences, as well as childhood experiences. If a loved one passed away, broke up with partner, lost a job, or bullied during youth and haven’t dealt with those feelings, then you probably shouldn’t be touching the alcohol, speaking from experience.
I'm metis up here in Canada. It was the same thing for me and every single member of my family with native blood. I think our genetic tolerance for alcohol is incredibly low, as other people's have been fermenting and imbibing alcohols for centuries longer.
@@Psilocybin77 Native Americans and some Asians lack the enzyme/gene to process alcohol properly from what I somewhat recall my friend telling me. Not sure about the details tbh.
@@hawkacid9266 I am the same way as him I suspect. I don't drink much now-days, but when I was in my early/mid 20s I would remain in 'control' and articulate even while heavily drunk. Motor skills and speech were never an issue really, and there were times where I'd get a high push of adrenaline and feel completely sober once that wore down. I've gotten comments the next day asking if I was drunk or anything the night before, when I was clearly drunk in my head. I never got black out drunk though, never felt lost in conversations recalling the nights.
I started drinking at 12 because my friends and I thought we were cool. Plus our older siblings would have to drag us around with them. Their friends and them would be partying so we would too, it was less awkward and honestly a lot of fun!! But I can definitely attest to the fact that drinking at such a young age as often as were was a total recipe for disaster! It led to a life of alcoholism, drug abuse, self worth issues, health problems, etc… In fact I’m 38 and still struggling. Yes, I had to learn my own lessons. I wasn’t trying to listen to anyone! Neither was my addiction. And to all the people who just can’t help but say something mean and condescending, remember that it could be you, or your mother, or child that’s struggling. Often in silence because of the fear of rejection and the shame they feel. Don’t be so cold.
Its NOT the same here. I mean, we drink too but we aint drinking like american colkege kids. But,i bet,the nr of young alcohol addiccts is about the same.
"Black out drunk is when you peek out the curtains the next morning to see if the car is still in one piece before going back to bed" - A drinking buddy from my 20's
I've hidden so much shit from myself over the years it's fucking retarded. Mostly weed & money. Hid my phone once under the cabinet trash can, took two days to find it
If I feel I want to keep drinking but shouldn't, I will hide the bottle, go pee and by the time I come back in the room, I can't remember where I put the bottle. It's a form of self-control.
Malcolm Gladwells book The Tipping Point was really interesting and inspiring. I think Gladwell has a passion for human statistics (the best way I can describe it), like myself. Trying to quantify and qualify the behaviours of individuals and collectives over time. In particular, his analysis of the Broken Windows initiative in New York and how it contributed to a dramatic fall in crime throughout the 1990s, that was something I remember many years after reading.
I actually thought 'black-out drunk' was a myth until some time in my twenties. I think by then I was quite determined to manage it at least once. What's really freaky-deaky is the (hopefully) few times you get it *during* the evening, and have an hour or so missing. So you're actually standing there when your brain switches on again. Like 'how was I standing?' :)
I know this is an old comment but I blacked out for 15 minutes at a party once. Scared the shit outta me. I snapped back in my living room and had no idea what happened. Apparently I had dropped the glass I was drinking and it shattered on the floor
That's what I was talking about, yes. Not just 'mis-remembering' afterwards, but kind of 'missing in action' at the time. Unsettling... All I can say is 'yes, apparently our brains *can* do that, if we kick them around too much'...
I’m like a stoner when I’m drunk, all love all peace no confrontation besides telling them I love them then I take down some food a bottle of water and go to bed wake up and I feel hot but never hungover.
If gotten black out drunk like 5 times in my life and everytime people would say im the life of the party very wierd being im very reserved usualy but its so wierd hearing the things u do wile blackout. I never let myself go that far anymore its like ur not the same person
You should try doing the Centurion with a group of friends and a timer. Did that a couple years ago (got to about 124 shots i was told later). Ended up crawling through my apartment on my belly on the way home, turned the bathtub on before going to bed, woke up to about an inch of water on my entire floor (300 sqf apartment) and having pissed all over my sleeping room and my kitchen. Good times.
The interesting idea here I think is that memories are a kind of proof of continuous consciousness but one can be completely conscious and even coherent without being able to make memories.
There's a great British (BBC maybe?) documentary about a man whose hippocampus is damaged by the herpes virus and has a roughly 5 second awareness. Heartbreaking to watch him realize it over and over and over.
A blackout is terrifying. I've been sober for 9 years and I would blackout all the time, my longest blackout was 13 days. I was drinking in my house then I came round 13 days later in a hospital bed with nurse changing the IV fluids on my drip. To this day I still don't know what I did during those 13 days. I stayed in hospital for a 2 week detox. The first 5 days I was hallucinating and saw red spiders crawl under my skin. I was shaking so bad and had to have diazapam injected into me to stop the seizures. Alcohol nearly killed me. Waking up the next morning and saying to your friend "I can't remember anything!" then chilling in bed and watching Netflix is not a blackout. I genuinely wouldn't wish anyone to experience one
The insects under/on your skin is a common side effect of heroin/ opiate withdrawal . Sounds like you went on a drug bender after you got black out drunk and didn’t remember any of it . An old counselor of mine had similar stories
@@jjrich1489 alcohol withdrawals are way worse it's one of the two drug withdrawals that can be fatal, you hallucinate visually and auditorial delirium tremens aren't no joke

In the Marines I'd black out multiple times a week for years. Beer, wine, liquor didn't matter. Never had any issues until I blacked out drinking yuengling. For some reason I would do things I never did when I blacked out from anything else. I'd "wake up" sitting in the sink, I'd wake up to friends telling me stories of me running around outside at 2 am, a bunch of weird stuff that I obviously don't remember doing. It was scary. Going on 4 yrs sober now thank goodness
Stephen King wrote a few books that he didn't remember writing because he was such a huge alcoholic/ cocaine addict. One of the books was Cujo I think, and the book Misery was about those addictions.
Starting drinking 5 years when I was 35 after a divorce ......I hung out in bars and downed shot after shot.....i look young and good looking(so I’m told)with money and a outgoing personality...so I pulled a lot of women ....the last 3 years I went hard....real hard.....I always heard about blackouts but always thought it was bs until it started happening to me ......I’ve probably blacked out minimum 200 times in the last 3 years .......after 10 broken ribs.....broken collarbone........70000 Grand down the tube ........waking up not knowing where I am........going on week long binges.........internal organs hurting ......I finally had enough and quit.....I knew if I didn’t I was a dead man Blackouts are real and one of the most scary things you can experience All things considered.....Alcohol is by far the deadliest drug in the US
I know the feeling kinda. Came back to in a lot of pain. Found out I had a broken collarbone somehow. Guess I got beat up somehow, I'm usually pretty chill... so no idea what happened. Scariest night of my life. I get PTSD thinking about it, and I now no longer go downtown drinking. I just drink very casually now and never at a bar or around big groups of people.
I can’t drink very often because when I do, I black out like, every time. Once I start drinking, for some reason I can’t stop until I physically can’t consume anymore or I’m about to fall asleep. Super unhealthy and wrong, but it’s a weird switch in my brain.
AARON Leonard visit the K-towns in various US states, notably LA, you will find many Asians drinking heavily and possibly equipped with cocaine to drink more
I’ve just been in a 4 day blackout. Remember very little, just losing a lot of money, ambulances turning up and police actually being nice. I wrote to a friend 147 times he told me. Kind of remember singing in the street, arguing with someone. It’s pretty scary. Worst is the anxiety that comes after when I stop drinking as I get incredibly paranoid
I genuinely hate the thought of me blacking out. I hate the idea of not being able to remember and I don’t understand how guys like it. If I fuck up bad I never want the excuse to be “I blacked out” or “I was too drunk”
No-one likes that feeling when you wake up in the morning and not having a clue what happened the night before, it's shite... Even worse is when you wake up in a police cell, you genuinely believe it's a possibility you may have killed someone.
I don't like it. I'm trying to stop but it's difficult. Everyday I get up and try to live a "normal" life. Drinking has made me depressed which makes me want to drink more and when I'm sober I just think about all the terrible decisions I've made. It's torture. But like I said I'm letting it go little by little I want to prove to myself I can do it on my own, and I will💪
Yeah I'm in my 30s, I quit drinking right around when smart phones became a big deal. I can't imagine blacking out in today's age when everything you do gets recorded. I use to say a lot of crazy shit when I was drunk, thankfully I wasn't a guy who could fight, or get in situations with the ladies. But I can't imagine the stress that shit causes people nowadays.

My favorite part about it😂
In college the most out of control drinkers were those that didn't drink in high school
That changes in Australia where the drinking age is 18
It's because they are away from the reason they don't drink and when they taste that freedom they feel like they can do whatever they want (this was me)
That goes without saying. And applies to most things. Drugs sex etc

Everywhere I went it felt like they were watching me; fish-white flesh puckered by the Highland breeze; tight eyes peering out for fresh meat; screechy, booze-soaked voices hollering out for a taxi to take 'em halfway up the road to the next all-night watering hole. A shatter of glass; a round of applause; a sixteen-year-old mother of three vomiting in an open sewer, bairns looking on, chewing on potato cakes. I ain’t never going back… not never."

@@charlest5604 nothing wrong with an occasional BBW
I do the opposite.
I was blackout many many times in my 20s. Scary not knowing what happened whilst in that state, only hearing of the aftermath or seeing the evidence after sobering up (wasn't sober too often). But I have 5 years completely clean and sober now, and I wouldn't trade it for anything! I do miss the good times and euphoria sometimes, but not nearly enough to revisit the absolute hell of alcoholism/addiction.
Kudos on the sobriety!
Relatable to that now. Just turned 21 been drinking for a while. It doesn’t interfere with my daily responsibilities and I refuse to blackout in a social setting anymore. But the only reason I stopped is because I’d hate waking up in the morning and asking my friends what happened the night before. Whiskey can make you do terrible things.
Great shit man props bro

I'm an alcoholic, going to meetings, trying to recover. 33 days without a drink. Can't tell you how many times when I was loaded that I was totally coherent and functional, only to wake up the next day missing keys, wallets, etc. No idea what I had done. Closest people to me didn't even know until I admitted my problem and asked for help. Life long battle, hardest thing to quit. It's literally everywhere, available almost at any moment.
My brother will go to work drunk some mornings . Not another family member nor a co worker can tell he’s been drinking , but there’s something vacant in the eyes and some slight mannerisms that you can only see if you know what to look for .
You gotta learn to hate it bro. It’s always going to be available. My girl even drinks still but that doesn’t mean i need to. We have to fully accept that our days of drinking for fun are done and that if we want a great life we must stay away from it. Then and only then will you feel relieved of the pressure being put on you mentally with still wanting that drink. Best of luck friend.
im so proud of you

I hope you’re still on the path.

Liver damage.
You kill brain cells when you get drunk
Y’all special you under stand the death of brain cells comes from repeated alcohol withdrawal bc of glutamate excitoticity, alcohol isn’t good but it binds to gaba-A and is a nmda antagonist this action reduces excitory neurotransmitters and prevents memory formation it’s not brain damage, and any brain damage that occurs while drunk would occur after respiratory depression and oxygen deprivation to the brains please research what you speak on before you speak it

It's cause it's a very obvious, boring, stupid question. Gladwell didn't call him out on it because Gladwell has class.
@@RealAliAlsuhail I've been telling people that for years - yet they still try to convince me that certain alcohol affects them differently, it is simple: try to count the alcohol units (volume * alcohol strength / 1000.

I used to get blackout drunk from time to time. It's a scary thing. One time I suddenly skipped from nighttime to early morning in the blink of an eye and the room went from normal to totally trashed in an instant. I know I did it but I have zero memory of it. Stuff like that is what made me realize I have a serious problem.
I had a blackout once that I can't seem to blame on the alcohol I was drinking that night. I did e too, so that further makes things harder to understand. But just like you, I went from perfectly ok with a good buzz at night, to just opening my eyes and the sun was out... I didn't go to sleep. It felt like I just woke up without going to sleep. It felt like coming out of a 10 hour coma or something to that degree. One minute I was there, then I wasn't, then I was back again but 10 hours somehow passed... I'm starting to suspect someone put something in one of my drinks. I've blackout drinking hundreds of times, this wasn't the same thing. My first memory was my friend saying "lastnight was sooo much fun" and my response was "what night??!"
A friend of mine is of Scottish, Irish & English heritage, every time he gets drunk, he fights himself.
Hopefully his mother isn’t from New York and his father isn’t from Georgia too

Got blackout drunk twice when I swapped J.Daniels for Everclear grain alcohol. Tried it twice, blacked out twice. No more Everclear for me. He describes my black outs perfectly. I remember doing a couple of shots then woke up elsewhere with no memory of the evening. I appairently carried on a while, but no recall.
I was hoping he would answer the question if different types of alchol makes a person drunk or whild in different ways..
I can tell you from experience, a beer drunk is much different than a whiskey drunk.
I wanted that too. I think alcohol is alcohol. However people respond to different drugs. That's why people have drugs of choice. Some people can function on heroin and some cant. Some people can be drunk and function day to day routines, and some cant even walk or talk. We are all witnesses. Everyone eventually finds there drug of choice. Time decides that factor.
Alcohol is alcohol. It doesn't make a difference. What's different is the social settings and emotions tied to the alcohol. Some drinks are associated with partying (like shots of hard liquor) while some like wine are associated with relaxing. When you drink, your brain is making associations about how you've felt in the past and you will base your current experience off of past ones
Yes and no in my opinion. The only significant between different alcohols are the various percentages. If you're drinking wine or beer, your body absorbs that alcohol more slowly over a longer period of time, which causes more relaxing and mild effects. Since liquor is a solution sometimes mostly alcohol, it can hit your system faster and harder, which yields the more potent and negative effects. The main reason for why people consider liquor to be like a different strain of alcohol is because they're consuming entire servings of alcohol in a matter of seconds that has no other ingredients to buffer how fast it enters your bloodstream.
Nose beers are crazy
Whenever I've been blackout, I've always snapped awake early in the morning. That must be the hippocampus flashing back on. Cool.
Same here
That's common with alcohol
Same here. The drunker I get the earlier I wake up. Guess that's why I'm never late for work
There's actually a scientific reason for that. Since alcohol is a depressant, your brain tries to counter it by releasing stimulants into your body. So as the alcohol is filtered out of your body, all that is left is the stimulants which jolt you awake. It's the same reason why even though you can sleep for like 10 hours after drinking heavily, you still usually feel like you didn't get any sleep because you never really enter REM sleep because of the stimulants.
@@tronprice1598 same

I blacked out probably 50-100 times or so between 19-23. #1; I'm an only child I had no idea this wasn't normal #2 I ruined several great friendships this way as during blackout apparently my sexual overdrive kicks in #3 I never drank before college #4 Between the friendships I lost, the bad decisions I made, and probably the damage I caused torments me to this day.
I wish to god that someone at an earlier age would have taught me how to navigate this instead of the romanticism of "get fucked up, show off, fit in"
It fucked me up. I became massively depressed, gambled over 400k, could never open myself up to a meaningful relationship.
I was so fucking retarded when it came to booze, someone handed me a bottle of Jameson, I thought it was like a beer, that to fit in, I was to finish the bottle. I came to after I hit my mother's Lexus.
Like seriously, I am sure there are 100s of thousands just like me, that didn't know what we were doing, that torture ourselves every day thinking of mistakes, hurt friendships, and because of the way society is right now, were terrified to say anything.
Thank god I learned from my mistakes and made it through but SO many aren't that lucky. We MUST change how we teach our children about the danger and proper use of alcohol.
If you gamble $400k, let alone have it, them you're doing something right. How could you ask this question and not have any sense about it. What you're saying is hard to make sense to me. You can't be that smart and that clueless at the same time 🤔
@@mvasqu762 nobodies perfect. Small problems to you, can lead others to drinking. Well, drinking leads to more problems when you can't deal with the small issues or problem you had at first. Rabbit hole until some life threatening event.
You're not alone dude, but you can't be that down on yourself, if I tried to think of and especially name all the shameful shit I've done while intoxicated on a number of drugs or alcohol I would not be able to live a normal life. A lot of people go through those experiences and if you never screwed up you would've never been able to learn and better appreciate your position. You had to learn for yourself, if someone just tells you then you would never listen - I know I didn't, I had to learn for myself.

Jon Keith I was prescribed 6mg a day from age like 15-21 and I drank during those times. Btw I am not bragging nor do I suggest I actually suggest you just stay away from them. I am just saying tolerances build fast and 6 mg a day I was fully functional worked and went to the gym 6 days a week. But I would some days abuse them and these were legit yellow prescription ones and I would sometimes take upwards of 50mg a day the scary part is you black out and can keep taking them I’ve woke up after counting the ones missing and was around 68mg this was when I was younger but I’m just giving you context and explanation that yes if you have never had them one bar can have you sleeping but tolerance builds ridiculously fast and the other really scary part is that benzos and alcohol are the only drugs you can die from withdrawal.

Hand to God. In my lifetime, I must have blacked out (us Native Americans love the bottle) a little over 100 times. Based on the descriptions from my friends and family, my behaviour is completely random. 50% of the time, I’m hiccupy and woozy, the other 50% I’m annoyed or “rowdy”. I grew up in a home where if my father was drinking, he was drinking to black out and he would get very aggressive. Personally, I think your blackout behaviour is based on your recent experiences, as well as childhood experiences. If a loved one passed away, broke up with partner, lost a job, or bullied during youth and haven’t dealt with those feelings, then you probably shouldn’t be touching the alcohol, speaking from experience.
I'm metis up here in Canada. It was the same thing for me and every single member of my family with native blood. I think our genetic tolerance for alcohol is incredibly low, as other people's have been fermenting and imbibing alcohols for centuries longer.

Motor skills and speech were never an issue really, and there were times where I'd get a high push of adrenaline and feel completely sober once that wore down. I've gotten comments the next day asking if I was drunk or anything the night before, when I was clearly drunk in my head.
I never got black out drunk though, never felt lost in conversations recalling the nights.
Hawk Acid yup straight lie
Picle Wicle nice fake story

I started drinking at 12 because my friends and I thought we were cool. Plus our older siblings would have to drag us around with them. Their friends and them would be partying so we would too, it was less awkward and honestly a lot of fun!! But I can definitely attest to the fact that drinking at such a young age as often as were was a total recipe for disaster! It led to a life of alcoholism, drug abuse, self worth issues, health problems, etc…
In fact I’m 38 and still struggling. Yes, I had to learn my own lessons. I wasn’t trying to listen to anyone! Neither was my addiction.
And to all the people who just can’t help but say something mean and condescending, remember that it could be you, or your mother, or child that’s struggling. Often in silence because of the fear of rejection and the shame they feel. Don’t be so cold.
I got lots of alcoholics in my life, I was pretty close, but in the end I had to cut them loose and choose my own way.
Started drinking at 12 or thirteen. Absolutely disastrous. I was a blackout drunk right away
Hope you are doin good buddy
I'll drink to that!

Its NOT the same here. I mean, we drink too but we aint drinking like american colkege kids. But,i bet,the nr of young alcohol addiccts is about the same.

How would you know you needed to check if you blacked out...
Because you woke up not knowing what happened or how the hell you got there
When you wake up and the first thing you do is check for your credit card since you probably left it at the bar.
Done this at least twice in my life
Area S4 Don’t forget to check to make sure you have your wallet!

Oh my god!
My dumbass blackout self likes to hide things in strange places
I've hidden so much shit from myself over the years it's fucking retarded. Mostly weed & money. Hid my phone once under the cabinet trash can, took two days to find it
My dumbass blackout self likes to loose phones and keys
If I feel I want to keep drinking but shouldn't, I will hide the bottle, go pee and by the time I come back in the room, I can't remember where I put the bottle. It's a form of self-control.
Flaps
I lost dmt when I was blackout drunk
Malcolm "I could be blackout drunk right now" Gladwell
Malcolm Gladwells book The Tipping Point was really interesting and inspiring. I think Gladwell has a passion for human statistics (the best way I can describe it), like myself. Trying to quantify and qualify the behaviours of individuals and collectives over time. In particular, his analysis of the Broken Windows initiative in New York and how it contributed to a dramatic fall in crime throughout the 1990s, that was something I remember many years after reading.
I actually thought 'black-out drunk' was a myth until some time in my twenties. I think by then I was quite determined to manage it at least once. What's really freaky-deaky is the (hopefully) few times you get it *during* the evening, and have an hour or so missing. So you're actually standing there when your brain switches on again. Like 'how was I standing?' :)
I know this is an old comment but I blacked out for 15 minutes at a party once. Scared the shit outta me. I snapped back in my living room and had no idea what happened. Apparently I had dropped the glass I was drinking and it shattered on the floor
That's what I was talking about, yes. Not just 'mis-remembering' afterwards, but kind of 'missing in action' at the time. Unsettling... All I can say is 'yes, apparently our brains *can* do that, if we kick them around too much'...
My theory is if you remember the night you did not drink enough.
No one:

i didn't think anyone caught that 😂
i wish joe asked him if he was 1/4 irish a few times throughout the show just to be sure 😁

I’m like a stoner when I’m drunk, all love all peace no confrontation besides telling them I love them then I take down some food a bottle of water and go to bed wake up and I feel hot but never hungover.
i hate that hot feeling
Drink long enough, and this will change. The worst damage done by alcohol is cumulative long term stuff.
When I wake up from being blackout drunk I never hear good things
I Never want to get blackout drunk
@@electrichanoi7244 Its weird af but also interesting. Was only once completly blackout drunk and I dont need to be ever again tho :D
If gotten black out drunk like 5 times in my life and everytime people would say im the life of the party very wierd being im very reserved usualy but its so wierd hearing the things u do wile blackout. I never let myself go that far anymore its like ur not the same person
Truth
Hearing stories about yourself that you truly do not recall is absolutely mindblowing. "You really don't remember, man?"
Nah, really don't...yikes.
I have never had any trouble getting blackout drunk on beer.
You must be pissing a lot then XD
Lmao word
I’ve never got black out drunk ok beer, vodka or tequila on the other hand and I’m done.
You should try doing the Centurion with a group of friends and a timer. Did that a couple years ago (got to about 124 shots i was told later). Ended up crawling through my apartment on my belly on the way home, turned the bathtub on before going to bed, woke up to about an inch of water on my entire floor (300 sqf apartment) and having pissed all over my sleeping room and my kitchen. Good times.
@Gus Bus It takes a gut of steel to hold them down, but by god if you do you will be drunk as hell

The interesting idea here I think is that memories are a kind of proof of continuous consciousness but one can be completely conscious and even coherent without being able to make memories.
There's a great British (BBC maybe?) documentary about a man whose hippocampus is damaged by the herpes virus and has a roughly 5 second awareness. Heartbreaking to watch him realize it over and over and over.
A blackout is terrifying. I've been sober for 9 years and I would blackout all the time, my longest blackout was 13 days. I was drinking in my house then I came round 13 days later in a hospital bed with nurse changing the IV fluids on my drip. To this day I still don't know what I did during those 13 days. I stayed in hospital for a 2 week detox. The first 5 days I was hallucinating and saw red spiders crawl under my skin. I was shaking so bad and had to have diazapam injected into me to stop the seizures. Alcohol nearly killed me. Waking up the next morning and saying to your friend "I can't remember anything!" then chilling in bed and watching Netflix is not a blackout. I genuinely wouldn't wish anyone to experience one
The insects under/on your skin is a common side effect of heroin/ opiate withdrawal . Sounds like you went on a drug bender after you got black out drunk and didn’t remember any of it . An old counselor of mine had similar stories
@@jjrich1489 Lack of sleep can cause it too.
@@jjrich1489 alcohol withdrawals are way worse it's one of the two drug withdrawals that can be fatal, you hallucinate visually and auditorial delirium tremens aren't no joke
@@jjrich1489True alcohol withdrawal is one of the absolute worst withdrawals you can ever experience. The withdrawal itself can be fatal. It's no joke.
It's not scary at all
In the Marines I'd black out multiple times a week for years. Beer, wine, liquor didn't matter. Never had any issues until I blacked out drinking yuengling. For some reason I would do things I never did when I blacked out from anything else. I'd "wake up" sitting in the sink, I'd wake up to friends telling me stories of me running around outside at 2 am, a bunch of weird stuff that I obviously don't remember doing. It was scary. Going on 4 yrs sober now thank goodness
Stephen King wrote a few books that he didn't remember writing because he was such a huge alcoholic/ cocaine addict. One of the books was Cujo I think, and the book Misery was about those addictions.
STILL turned into movies hahaha
Many fine books have been written in a blackout!
I think it was Maximum Overdrive, he said he didn't remember writing or directing the movie because of how high on coke he was lol
Didn't think he drink at all
RagnarTheRed both of those are true. Cujo and Maximum Overdrive
Starting drinking 5 years when I was 35 after a divorce ......I hung out in bars and downed shot after shot.....i look young and good looking(so I’m told)with money and a outgoing personality...so I pulled a lot of women ....the last 3 years I went hard....real hard.....I always heard about blackouts but always thought it was bs until it started happening to me ......I’ve probably blacked out minimum 200 times in the last 3 years .......after 10 broken ribs.....broken collarbone........70000 Grand down the tube ........waking up not knowing where I am........going on week long binges.........internal organs hurting ......I finally had enough and quit.....I knew if I didn’t I was a dead man
Blackouts are real and one of the most scary things you can experience
All things considered.....Alcohol is by far the deadliest drug in the US
I know the feeling kinda. Came back to in a lot of pain. Found out I had a broken collarbone somehow. Guess I got beat up somehow, I'm usually pretty chill... so no idea what happened. Scariest night of my life. I get PTSD thinking about it, and I now no longer go downtown drinking. I just drink very casually now and never at a bar or around big groups of people.
Is that a flex?

That’s why your drunk friend always tells you the same stories like you haven’t heard them a thousand times already.
I can’t drink very often because when I do, I black out like, every time. Once I start drinking, for some reason I can’t stop until I physically can’t consume anymore or I’m about to fall asleep. Super unhealthy and wrong, but it’s a weird switch in my brain.
I'm also like that, and after that night being black out drunk I can't smell alcohol without gagging for about a month.
@@Kirkov36 bruh me too

Asian people don‘t drink: south koreans be like:,, hold my soju“

Soju will f u up because u can't tell you're drinking alcohol, the taste is deceptively light but it creeps up on u

I’ve just been in a 4 day blackout. Remember very little, just losing a lot of money, ambulances turning up and police actually being nice. I wrote to a friend 147 times he told me. Kind of remember singing in the street, arguing with someone. It’s pretty scary. Worst is the anxiety that comes after when I stop drinking as I get incredibly paranoid
“Whiskey makes me wanna do crazy shit”. Felt that one
I genuinely hate the thought of me blacking out. I hate the idea of not being able to remember and I don’t understand how guys like it. If I fuck up bad I never want the excuse to be “I blacked out” or “I was too drunk”
No-one likes that feeling when you wake up in the morning and not having a clue what happened the night before, it's shite... Even worse is when you wake up in a police cell, you genuinely believe it's a possibility you may have killed someone.
I don't like it. I'm trying to stop but it's difficult. Everyday I get up and try to live a "normal" life. Drinking has made me depressed which makes me want to drink more and when I'm sober I just think about all the terrible decisions I've made. It's torture. But like I said I'm letting it go little by little I want to prove to myself I can do it on my own, and I will💪
Yeah I'm in my 30s, I quit drinking right around when smart phones became a big deal. I can't imagine blacking out in today's age when everything you do gets recorded. I use to say a lot of crazy shit when I was drunk, thankfully I wasn't a guy who could fight, or get in situations with the ladies. But I can't imagine the stress that shit causes people nowadays.
