- More than half of college students experience blackouts, according to studies. Alcohol, it turns out, interferes with the brain's ability to convert short term memories into long term ones. Since those memories don't get stored, you won't be able to recall them later.
Following is a transcript of the video:
Saturday, 12 PM. The light burns. Your head throbs. And you have no recollection of how you got back home. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. More than half of college students experience blackouts, according to several studies. And let’s be clear. Blacking out doesn’t mean passing out. You were probably awake and aware the entire night. So then, where did all those memories go?
Let’s rewind to Friday night. Normally, whenever you have an experience - like a conversation - a part of your brain called the prefrontal lobe stores that information in short-term memory. Then, another part of your brain called the hippocampus weaves those experiences together so they can be stored away as long-term memories. So the next day you remember “the party” as a whole instead of “smell of sweat,” “house music,” “Jen was there.”
But here’s the key part: storing these episodes in long-term memory requires special neurotransmitters. But your liquor shots prevent the neurotransmitters from working properly. So, instead of remembering the party, all you have is an incomplete or even empty file.
And the amount of alcohol in your system at the time influences how much you remember. Let’s say you’re a 73 kg adult man. And you’ve done 8 shots in 1 hour. Your blood alcohol content is probably around 0.2% by this point- more than twice the legal limit for driving a car. And your brain may still be able to store some memories. So you end up with “islands” of memories separated by missing sections. That’s called a fragmentary blackout, aka a “greyout” or “brownout”. But if you keep pounding those shots, it gets worse. Within the next half hour, you pound back another 4 shots. Now your blood alcohol content hits around 0.3%, and your hippocampus goes dark. And full amnesia sets in. This is called an en bloc blackout. And once you wake up, that entire night could be blank. Push your BAC much higher than that and…you might die.
And yet...your friends might not even realize you’re in the middle of a blackout, since the alcohol didn’t “delete” your long-term memories already safe in storage before the night began. So you can still carry on conversations and behave more or less like a typical person. To an extent. Blackouts aside, alcohol can still interfere with other regions of your brain including those responsible for reasoning and decision-making.
So during blackouts, people have crashed cars gotten into fights and committed -or been the victims of - sexual assaults. They just might not remember it.
That being said, not everyone gets blackouts. Your sex, body weight, and family history all play a roll. So that could explain why your friends recall the entire night despite downing just as much tequila. But it won’t save them from a wicked hangover the next morning.

I get black out drunk and then remeber nothing, and get extreme anxiety next day. But while I'm drunk everyone I speak to says I'm not much different to sober just a little more loud and talkative and funnier.
@Suzuki Samuri i think you should move on bro, she’s clearly not over her ex and for whatever reason she shouldn’t go to her ex when she’s with you
@Suzuki Samuri lol, when drunk is when your true nature shows itself. Move on. And this ain't reddit
The beer fear is very real.
@Suzuki Samuri she wasn't drunk when she agreed to go out to eat with her ex lol

I realized alcohol isn't such a good thing when i fell asleep on a couch but woke up in a bathtub again. Life is an unsolved mystery.
"Again" he says lmao how many times has this happened
are your kidneys gone ?
Blitzyeet lmao
😂🤣😂😁🤣😁🤣😂😂😂
Ok but why is your comment 106 years old
Yup my blackouts are bad. Losing control and memory is terrifying. No more
How are you now?
I barely blackout so when i do i usually pass out too
Yea I blackout Saturday night woke up with a black eye two holes my wall, supposedly hit someone with a bottle of tequila pulled my gun on people and got jumped by two guys

"For those of you who don't know what that is, blacking out is when you drink so much that your brain goes to sleep, but your body gets all "Eye of the Tiger" and soldiers on." -John Mulaney
as if that guy is a paid comedian
You wake up with a regret and sickness that doesn't go away for a long time. Enough said.
That's exactly what happens
and a traffic cone, there's always a traffic cone.
That's if you go to sleep ;) (which you should never do when drunk just please trust me)
It's called herpes.....
16 shots of vodka, 3 jagerbombs and 2 pints of cider. Paracetamol is the cure.

Molly Kell o.O
I’m so ducked up rn that I’m probably gonna not remember any of it but let the record show that all my friends made it home safe and I didint get pulled over and made it home safe
I remember the first time I had a black out. It’s so scary the next morning because all you remember is doing something normal then literally black. I have no idea what happened that night but I know it was really bad.
S. O. No I didn’t but only because I pieced together some of it and I don’t think I had sex that night. Definitely would’ve been a good idea tho. Thank god I’m clean.
i remember going to sleep and waking up. apparently i was awake somewhere in between there doing something
Very normal, the amount of times I've woke up in a police cell from black out drunk.
One night even stole my parents car, went for a 2 hour joy ride, crashed into a tree across the road from my own house.. lucky to be alive for the most part..
Blacked out again two nights ago.. finally decided to look in to why I black out, lol
First time I blacked out was two days ago, it was terrifying the next morning to say the least
@@inaaronshead7331 Did you find any answers?
Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
100% agree I used to have Psychosis and paranoid thoughts like "people thinking about me talking about me etc. Very odd behavior after getting off Adderall from 7-16. Antidepressants at 18-29. 31 now. I took way to much, but took about 20g of Gold caps (Psilocybin containing mushroom) I analyzed my entire life. The emotions that came out helped me understand behavior etc more. Wont ever need to do it again because I'm happy and contempt forever, but I wish more people did this to alter their perception of reality. Would help with healing much trauma
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
My last black out experience was embarrassing. So much so that it made me realize I probably should not drink anymore and the people that allow me to drink even after I've shown that I'm completely out of control should not be in my life.
No fr I'm gonna cancel my cousins
And that's wat bought me here so embrassing
The conversations make me Wana slap his ass ughh. But he don't remember

I’ve experienced black out once, and it’s an absolutely frightening experience. I was in full panic mode when I woke up with no memory at all. I’m just glad I was out with my trusted friends that night . Who knows where I would end up if I was not dropped back home with my friends. I promise myself not to over drink ever again. Drink responsibly guys! 🍸🍹🍷

@Billy McCatty Powell thats comparing apples to oranges. cyanide is obviously much stronger than alcohol. there is no safe amount of cyanide, but there is a safe amount of alcohol. your odds of dying from alcohol poisoning from a couple glasses of wine are next to none.
@Billy McCatty Powell bro again with the comparing apples to oranges thing, hardcore drugs like heroin and meth cant be compared to weed or alcohol, the addictiveness of alcohol is next to nothing. its not manufactured to manipulate dopamine cells and give you an unparalelled (in nature), artificial high. i mean sure it can make you feel kinda funny and more confident but its not something that will get you hooked unless you have some addictive personality disorder; those are the only people who really get hooked on it, but they make up like 1% of the population. i tried alcohol a few times and not once did i have an unstoppable craving for it immediately after being drunk, like most people. heroin on the other hand is produced such that it makes you feel completely euphoric and gets you instantly hooked. Alcohol is completely safe to consume in moderation if you do not have a predisposition to addiction, no doubt.
You must be a women 😂
I wasn’t scared at all and I just pace myself now on
#1: You get drunk
Damn, I don’t want to be blackout drunk anymore.
Here before all the "WHY ARE YOU EVERYWHERE?!" comments.
Long time no see
#2 JUSTIN Y WAS HERE
Oh wow i didn't know that's how-
Here at 14 likes oof-
2018 I had at least 10 blackouts. In 2019 I will have 0. Wish me luck. New year new me!
Joaquin Bellis good luck
I'm right there with you, its about time I remember what I did a week ago and actually having real fun instead of just waking up in my friends garage floor not remembering what happened 😂
Joaquin Bellis you will fail. New year same shit.
Beat your record
As long as you make the New York Yankees win the World Series.
"Dont worry, you're not alone"
Yeah, cause that's the main concern here.
I got black out drunk 5 years ago. One of the worst things to ever happen to me. I woke up in the street covered in blood. Someone or some people had beaten me to an absolute pulp, I have no idea who or why they did it. I must have been asking for it. Got a scar above my eye and on the back of my head. I’ve had a drinking problem for a few years. Still scares me to this day that someone actually wanted to physically hurt me that much. Still get nightmares about it
damn thats actually crazy , but like you said you mustve done something lol , not that you meant to or had control of the situation but yeah thats crazy asf
They must have been completely out as well
Bro I can relate to you. Although my story is a little different. I got mugged leaving a club and ended up concussed. They got my phone and wallet, so I had no way to call for a ride or anything. Walked around for 2 hours or so until I found a police station. And I didn’t even “come to” until about an hour into that time. I felt so violated and scared thinking about what must’ve happened. And I couldn’t recall anything. And I’m no small guy, I’m 6’3” and 215 lbs AND I train boxing. But none of that matters when you’re in a blacked-out stupor.
I also struggle with alcohol. This happened last year, but I continued to drink. But I finally decided to kick it. As of today, I’m 2 weeks and 2 days sober.
Sucks
@@hollywoodbb hope youre doing well bro. I can relate with a similar story.
Why couldn’t this happen to all my memories with my ex
Crispy there's science behind that as well. We don't forget our horrible ex's because that's the brain's way of imprinting what we will & will not tolerate in the future about love.
Amnesia of my last 10 years with my ex wife would be nice
Hermes Kriophoros better get to drinking then
If the relationship only last for the night that you are drunk then you can forget that .
@@jeffjacob5479 That sounds reasonable.
Ive always heard from some people falling asleep driving, but I woke up driving. Still drunk. Had no idea I could ever get behind the wheel. I immediately pulled over called my dad and got a ride home. I could not believe I didn't get someone hurt I'm so thankful for that.
Ya that’s good when I drank a little bit, I got up and I felt my face tingly and at that moment I had my friend’s drive me home
This is fuking scary men
dude that’s actually so scary that’s why i make sure i do not have my keys on me when i go get hammered with my buddies
@@Edward_pradayup
Were you driving slow or fast ?
This happened to me last night and it honestly scares me.
I left the pub at around 2 am and just had to catch a bus about 200m away and I'd be home in about 15 minutes. But I can see through messages that I send when I got home that I spend 2 hours getting home. I originally thought that I had just walked all the way home and not gotten on the bus for whatever reason but then I checked my google maps timeline of where I had been the night before and nearly shat myself.
I had taken 2 different buses which I definitely weren't supposed to get on and gotten off at random spots and just wandared around. And I have absolutely ZERO memory of this. It's so messed up to think about what the hell I was thinking in the moment. Also, at no point did I listen to music (I had headphones in my pocket) or check google maps or any other navigation app for direction. So I presumably just "traveled" for 2 hours without using my phone at any point. I've just gotten on these random buses, gone off at random points, walked around in places that I don't know of and then somehow made my way home with zero memory of how or why I did what I did. But I also have all my stuff with me, haven't fallen or anything and didn't throw up or feel sick so I presume I probably looked to be okay from an outsiders perspective.
I hope you're doing better, and if you're not please know that's it's not too late.
Hope you don't drink like that anymore. I just finished watching a video of a woman that got black out drunk and woke up to a blood bath. She murdered her 80yr old neighbor and had no recollection.
Last night I hit my gate corner post that was made of steel I can tell you it wasn't welded good because it shattered like glass course I was doing 30 holy shit this is the most disappointing upsetting thing to ever happen and it's happened a few times I'm seriously considering stopping drinking
Dude same that's exactly what it does! I once thought it was 5a.m. one night and had to walk a mile to catch a bus to school but since I was blacked out it was really like 11:30 at night and went walking to the bus like it was morning and I was running late for school. Feel lucky I was okay and didn't get mugged or anything, my mom just so happened to be on her way to me to drop off some food she made and saw me wandering. When I got in the car I was all toxic and freaking out saying like where are you taking me I'm gona miss the bus. Guess when I entered back in my apartment I just checked the time and felt dumb but I was so blacked out I still had to wake up hungover to walk a mile to catch the bus to school in just afew hours smh.
The exact same thing happened to me last week.
I apparently left a party at around 00.30 am and got home at 02.30. I don't remember anything before 02.15. It felt like I had woken up from a dream. I found myself wondering around my neighbourhood without using Google maps or anything. The strange part is, that the party I was at, took place, 6km away from my home. Therefore I had been walking over 6 km without using my phone for directions. It is so awful and I feel terrible about my decision. Thos is the 3rd time in 1 and a half months that I have experienced memory loss after a night of drinking. 1 month ago I even got into an accident during a blackout.
I don't want to drink so much alcohol again, because I am scared of having another blackout experience.
Lmao the brains are like NOT AGAIN, THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THIS MONTH AND ITS THE 5TH DAY OF THE MONTH
Being blackout drunk feels horrible while it’s happening, it’s like waking up and going to sleep many times all while being awake the whole time and walking and talking. A hangover is another good reason to not get really drunk.
It’s like your brain telling you it’s time to bed and you can barely hold your self up. And your eyes get heavy so most of the walking you do is with your eyes closed because it is easier
“You’re probably awake and aware?” I would say you’re probably awake but not aware at all. Spiritually speaking I feel like our soul leaves the body, our consciousness 😨, kind of scary we’re left open for any other evil energies or spirit around us
excellent !!!! Good one!!!!
I don't know about evil energy...but for sure in low vibration...
That’s scary but something to definitely think about
Kenty
Those are my thoughts too!!!
I think this happened to me on sunday friday I drank a sixteen pack of ipas
On saturday switched to a hazy Frank fourteen that night and on sunday I had more than 12 for sure but not exactly sure how many.
I woke in the morning and saw that I had scratches on my face my knees elbows and shoulder where scraped up my fingers hurt and my hands are all bruised up.
I later found my hat in the street I don't remember where or how many time I fell.
From friday to Monday I did not eat and I'm barely starting to get something down, I think I should be good by tomorrow finally getting over nausea and anxiety.
Why would you be a 73 kilogram adult male in America?
Not That Guy because we’re not all fatties
I’m only 45.5 kg (100 pounds) and 14 years old. Not everyone is fat...
Because he should be about 161lbs in America
the joke was unit of measurement related not weight
FMG lots of whoosh here.
Had my first blackout last Saturday, and I literally broke my neck, so first and last time for me
You okay
The "brown out" sounds like someone's about get diarrhea.
That’s what happens when you wake up the next day
I dont need alcohol for my memory to be bad
Weed helps...😆 🤣 😂
I had four shots of tequila, three rum mixes and two vodka mixes and still recall every little detail like running to a hot dog stand and then going to a gym just to pee and then sneaking back in the dorm room and then feeling sick
I was super depressed eight years ago, girl cheated on me
Anyway, I did six shots of Jack Daniels, downing them one after another
That doesn't sound too bad, but my shots were in the form of scotch glasses
The last complete thing I remember that night is I was trying to play beer pong - I had the ball in my hand and I let go.
The night went blank from there
Apparently I danced all night in the tavern I did the shots and played beer pong in, went over to a light post in front of another tavern and humped it for a while
Then I went into that bar and tried to start a bar fight
I have a partial memory of people trying to pick me up off the sidewalk outside that bar
Another blank spot
I'm stumbling around my lawn outside my door
Another blank spot
I wake up on my lawn, stumble into the door
And then I wake up totally naked, covered in doritos crumbs and nacho cheese, and my own dorito and nacho cheese flavored vomit with the TV blaring the menu for the first season of Stargate SG1 on dvd
jreed136 last paragraph had me dying lmao probably because I’ve definitely woken up from a drunken stupor to a sick stomach and an annoying ass DVD menu blaring repeated music and clips every 60 seconds lol! That shits hell!! 😭
@@jreed136 the worse thing I find is not remembering what you said to people when u blacked out, I swear someone needs to take my phone off me because I call random people when I’m that drunk and then wake up the next morning and can’t speak to them for weeks
@@jreed136 eeee I just feel super bad
I normally remember a few months down the line then ask my friends or my boyfriend like "hey did i get attacked by a duck i was trying to pet in the park or was a dreaning?" And they're like "lmao whu are you remembering this now"
Let me get high and think about it
Your mind will be fucked up.

The first time I got blackout drunk was at 16. It became a regular occurrence in my 20s. Finally, at 25, I started going to therapy. Something my therapist said to me still runs through my head regularly at 28, "People who get drunk are trying to escape their reality. So the question to ask yourself is: What part of your reality are you running away from?"
Moral of the story is: Binge drinking is NOT normal, even though our society makes it seem like it is. Blackout drinking is DEFINITELY NOT normal, and it can/will ruin your relationships.
Thanks for this!
May I ask you, after therapy you start yo drinks with moderation??
Pain. Lots and lots of pain. But the pain is still there after.....Its a crazy cycle. I would sit down on a nightly basis and drink about a pint pint and a half (24 ounces) in about an hour. Just to escape. Wild shit. Hell I could (and would) play a little Russian Roulette. Walked into a cop shop. Pulled over and talked with a cop. All while black out. The memory coming latter verified by some evidence. A cops card. A text. Someone calling the next day. Im not proud.
Wow you’re sexy
It's either I don't feel anything from alcohol, or I end up in this situation. I never have any positive experiences with it. It’s literally a one-shot difference between sobriety and black out for me, which is why I've decided to just not drink at all.
Me too
that’s me with weed, i smoked sometimes nothing happens so i just f it, i dont smoke at all.
Sometimes when I close my eyes...I can't see
Sometimes? Dude there's something wrong with your eye, have it check
That's deep bruh
I can't see when I scoop them out. I think this is due to global warming.
Is water wet?
I believe you have cancer

"oh good, I respawned by my bed"
Funniest comment here 😭😭😭
I blacked out the first and it was my last time. I was a senior in highschool, like any other wild teenager. After that day i woke up with bruises, scratches on my arms not being able to remember where i got them from. I couldn't believe i let myself get so fu ked up. After that i drink a beer or two but never will i go crazy with alcohol again.
What they don’t mention is that if you have experienced trauma and not fully healed from it.. when you black out all those fears can resurface with one random trigger and send you in to flight or fight mode. Everything can come out and make you do things you absolutely can’t remember the next day. :(
I literally blackout every time I go to a club or party. I don't even drink that much but the later part of the night is usually gone from my memory. My friends always have to tell me what happened the next day it's kind of concerning
This has been happening to me for the last few months. Have you found a solution for it?
@@lukeobrien3446stop. Drinking. Duh
Following😂
“More than half of college students experience blackouts”. Once did a 5-day party binged from Wednesday to Sunday. In uni this was totally normal as the Wednesday was a uni bar hop and the sunday was a banquet. Full
Blackouts three nights straight but not the last two days. This is all 100% true and the drinking culture plays a large part
Great video! There's a psychological aspect to it as well. Initial effects of alcohol are seen even before BAC starts to rise.
I can't even remember how I got in my room after the party last Night. Massive headache 😞
At least you got back to your room, I woke up in a hospital with no memory of wtf happened lmao
thefalllback same to me yesterday lol
Never had a full blackout, but I have experienced waking up and only remembering key-parts of the previous evening, however as the day passes I start to recall more and more of what happened and eventually remember ''most'' things like one would normally.
My friends say I am funny when I black out
@@1DJSkittlesif being funny means you are damaging your body then it's not worth it
I just go to sleep cuz I’m tired. I did it next to an elevator and threw up all the strawberry daiquiris and tequila I drank.
Ngl I experienced my first blackout not too long ago and it was not a fun experience… I hate not being able to remember, it’s weird how one minute you know what’s going on then it’s a whole day later and you still can’t remember nothing. It’s like you’ve been gone for a period of time and if you don’t have others around you to tell you exactly what happened then you lost those hours never to be remembered again… it’s like you’ve been dead and just all of a sudden wake up. Low key scary when you think about it
Idk about you but teleporting to bed and waking up in the morning (for me without a hangover) was pretty nice
I grew up in a muslim country, never even saw alcohol or consumed it before i was 18 and moved out of the country for college. needless to say, i had absolutely no knowledge or education when it came to alcohol. i first had a couple drinks in college my seocnd semester, bbut never enough to really feel anything, i was just trying out the taste and i was too scared to get caught drunk not being 21. but for spring break my freshman year, i travelled out of the country and was able to drink still with very poor knowledge so i kept downing shots of tequilla thinking i had to keep going until i felt really drunk. i downed 20 shots in one hour. that's probably the closest i've gotten to dying in my life. i was also black out drunk passed out in a pool of my own puke right on the road in hong kong where cars were literally driving on. if it wasnt for the people i was out with that night, i dont know what would have happened to me.
Eh I did a similar thing when I was 16 too, I mean I knew that it takes time to kick in but I very much miscalculated it rofl, I felt amazingly drunk but like a good drunk, so I kept on drinking to keep it up, but had to many in a short space of time, ended up in hospital lmao.
I never touched alcohol until I was in my mid twenties. But that’s what happens when you live in a country where the legal drinking age is 21
Dude unless you weigh 400 pounds, 20 shots in one our WILL kill you. That's an insanely high amount. I highly doubt you did 20 especially since it was your first time drinking.
@@TheNuclearRevolution I remember the first time I went out clubbing when I turned 18 (not the first time drinking though) I ordered 20 Yeager bombs in one order rofl, downed 12 before they kicked me out though so didn't get to finish them xd
@@PsFlux that's more believable. 12-13 is usually when I Black out bad. And that's in a row. I'm 6 ft and about 175. I'm currently a sophomore in college so I drink pretty regularly.
When I black out I turn into a devil with the mental capacity of an 11 year old .
Had a black out 2 nights ago. Then when I woke up the next morning (yesterday) I felt great. No nausea, no tiredness, no nothing. Just like everything was normal.
Nothing like waking up fully clothed on top of the covers with no memory of driving yourself home
Man, I love UA-cam comments
I blacked out once when I was a teenager lost 6hrs and became aware while I was in the hospital.. the hang over almost killed me. Never. Again.
I'm 32 years old and I blacked out tonight. I've had a couple of blackouts this year I think I'm giving it up for a long time and 2020 is going to be a year of remembering a lot. Wish me luck !!!
How’s everything going?
I went blackout on ketamine and I’m pretty sure I acted like the biggest mongo ever and as much as I want to ask my friends what happened, I can’t cope with the cringe and embarrassment
Same here
It’s basically like throwing your memories and experienced into a blender to get a child mind smoothie
Careful there Harvey.
Amd your Embarrassing middle school stories
i had a blackout once. It was so strange the next morning when i was trying to piece together what had happened in the night but there was a huge gap of memory missing and i was so worried i did something stupid or embarrassing in that time. I had 16 shots of 40% alcohol that night.
Wow! That’s a lot.
Did you have any long-term impacts from that?
@@erf2324 not physically no. I mean, if it killed some brain cells and lowered my IQ, i dont notice. Theres just the mental shame of getting into that situation and planning to never do it again.
@@sickeningnoandrealfierceto Oh, thank you for the fast reply. I mean, same thing happened recently to me, but like 10-13 shots. Can't focus properly on studies week later, academic memory is somewhat impaired (just went to college (young adult), otherwise I drink rather infrequently). It is getting better, but still wondering, if everything will return to normal if I plan to quit alcohol completely.
@@erf2324 you’ll be completely fine
Finally an explanation for what I've been experiencing
YOU DID NT KNOW ??
sorry for yelling...wow though!
This helped me understand what happened this past Saturday night! I have never heard of a fragmentary blackout until now. I had a lot to drink (it was my birthday weekend) and I remember bits and pieces but am confused as to what happened/when. Some of the night is fuzzy as well. What a weird night…I paid for it the next day too🤣😆
The best part after a blackout is the shit you hear about the shit you did lmao
Or even waking up in some stranger’s living room after blacking out at the bar and going to an after party.
Good times. Good times.
Drank 2 four lokos and woke up the next day not remembering a thing, that’s the part that gives me anxiety not knowing what I did.
This video is fantastic! Thank you :)
"More than half of college students have experienced a blackout" That says something both about the system and about the people in it.
Never experienced... But trying to understand it completely 😋
It's bizzare babe
Feels like you are poisoned
Garima Singh what????? Its fun 🤣
Feels like being wrapped in a warm blanket with your body feeling like it's vibrating. That must be why they call it "buzzed."
@@Yorker1998 could never said it better!
She said “brownout” !!! 😄😄 Mac would be proud.
Black out is just your night person taking control of you 😂
One night i went full blackout mode, lost my room keys, broke my phone, tried to sneak into other college rooms, called my dad and told him i didnt have anywhere to go and finally woke up on the couch of the waiting room. I still get drunk, but im aware of my limits. take that one with ya kids
"more than half of college students black out"
I fear for the future
From personal experience, I'll have to concur with that statement
Never had that problem. I'm close to 21 and the most alcohol I've had is one glass of wine that was a few sips at a family gathering. Now my friends on the other hand. Well let's just say I love messing with one of them in our group chat whenever he's drunk.
They should all be banned from college.
@Bartô N Don't worry. He's not even close to black out drunk or anything. Hell he's probably the most responsible drinker of my friends old enough to drink. Usually I just insult his favorite video games or characters and watch him overreact.
I'm a 27 year old who's never blacked out. I drank to the point of throwing up several times and I really don't see the point of continuing after that. It would only happen after the night is over and I'm in bed trying to get some sleep. My head would start spinning and I get a strong urge to puke. So I get up throughout the night to do that. I hardly ever drink since I don't get a buzz from it. If I drink too much, I throw up, not enough and I don't feel anything. Honestly, the only thing I like about alcohol is the flavor of certain drinks. Overall, the substance is completely boring to me. Also, alcohol is the only substance I've injured myself on. You lose your motor skills and coordination without realizing it. I've tripped while walking, missed steps coming down the stairs, landed on my back/face, and slammed my hand in doors. It's not a fun substance. I actually think it's quite dangerous. Especially how it wrecks a lot of lives and families.
You dont have to throw up before you blackout
@@t-bone9239 Apparently I do since I'll throw up before my memory becomes compromised.
why do you even inject it i your body anyway? xd
and it even depends on your body if it can mantain it....
or better it depends on the liver
still you need to moderate the alcholic intake
Alcohol affects people in varying ways and to various degrees. For example, I have never been able to throw up on a night out, only on the day after, pretty much no matter how much I drink. I have only been blackout drunk once in my life, although I know a lot of people that can drink way less than me and not remember much the following day. I also know people that can drink way more than me and wake up fine the next day while I have a massive hangover. Also, I don't have an issue with tripping/injuring myself when I'm drunk either. I'm certainly less coordinated, but not that bad.
I think I have seen this video **burp** before.
DRUNK vu
So basically after a hard night of partying, you go into a blackout. However this experience isn’t known until you wake up and don’t remember what happened, one moment your with friends taking shots, the next in bed. Just like you time traveled in the blink of a eye. My question is, if your brain were to fail or something along those lines where you stayed in a blacked out state of memory storage. Would you know? Would you have self awareness that your not remembering? Or what?
I got blind drunk in Hannover once, flew to Cairo the next morning and stayed for 4 hours then left - I don’t remember a thing of Egypt.
Perfect explaination...
One of the best way to avoid this problem, is to avoid alcoholic or at least only go for very small intake
I’m 16 and I went drinking with my friends and I literally cannot recall anything from that night it’s insane
Sounds like something was in your drink......
@@peacenholiness6855haha I don’t think so I’m Dutch and I drink with my best mates on the regular it wasn’t any big party
Ik ben 20 en had hetzelfde gister avond. Pas echt op met je alcohol gebruik maat. Ik was niet met vrienden toen het gebeurde en ik had dood kunnen zijn.
Imagine waking up in the hospital the next day after clubbing and not remembering a thing except being on the dance floor for a bit.
Love the visuals! 🤗🤗🤗
it is just nice that you get home without even knowing it
Well, I never experienced blacking out before, and I really plan on keeping it that way.
I don't even need Alchohol to black out. My First semester books are MORE than enough.
To me, a complete blackout with 100% no recollection/memory is like you are half-dead.
This is why I prefer weed.
facts
*facts*
@Totinen Tonttu Dunno when you got this from but it's bullshit
@Totinen Tonttu no one died of weed and weed doesn't cause cancer. Alcohol is more dangerous it causes severe damage to the kidneys when drinking in high amounts or to often which damages DNA leading to cancer.
Totinen Tonttu dont even try to argue with weed users they are too ignorant to accept weed had negative effects
Only had a blackout once. Nothing bad happen. But the felling of not knowing what you did last night can be frightening. I keept asking my friends what happen. It was first untill months after that night that I knew all the details. Even then I dont know completely what happen during the blackout.
This is so true. I have this nights from time to time
I blame alcohol.
Every time I got drunk, alcohol was involved 😂
i experience blackout the first time i went drunk. Since then i was conscious of how much I drink cause i am afraid i wont remember anything when i woke up once again and something bad might happened to me
Ive had many blackouts. Borderline alkie. Woke up in mental hospital. Heard I stood on a table and peed on people at a party. Got arrrested numerous times. I still drink but just at home now. Be safe and drinking until you blackout is the worse thing to do. Speaking from experience😁
Funny huh?....🤨
my last blackout almost killed me safe to say it's definitely my last
This gave me quarter-life crisis flashbacks
I have been this drunk once. Super hard to walk, I was leaning on walls and holding onto them as I walked to the bathroom.
I remember most of the night until I took a triple shot of vodka and inhaled a huge puff off a marajuana pen. I was so happy and chill. But I forget everything afterwards except when I finally laid down to watch a show on the tv. (At friends house party) Then I just woke up.
And man, the next day sucked hard. Since I was drunk and high, I didn’t think to drink water. I had to worst migraine of my life and felt sick and super sore all day.
The one thing I learned is, drink water, a lot of it before passing out. XD
It happened to me. Lucky my friends took care of me and nothing bad happen
Such a solid night man! wasn’t quite a blackout but a solid grey out!
Another experience I will never know but I will keep watching any way
🤓
Even if I only drank 4 beers that evening and I don't feel wasted at that moment, I still wake up with a black out on the couch the next morning. Not even a headache or anything ...
I remember my first and last black out now. Highschool party and i drank a whole bottle of Hennessy by myself. I never drank that alchohol like that before. So my blackout came very fast lol
i love the brain parts sorting stuff.
Blacking out.... 👀
What's that? I don't recall this....
Happens to me more than too often
It all ends up in a hangover anyway
Blackouts are far more dangerous than just being drunk and falling all over the place.A few years ago I spent over $500 while pub hopping and I have no recollection of when and where I spent it.It's scary as hell.
This is so scary and why I don't drink more than a small glass of wine or beer always with a meal, and no more than once or twice a month.
I got in a fight a while back, I don't know if I blacked out or got knocked out?
I usually get grayouts whenever I drink I’ve only been blackout drunk once but I was told it was a fun night
The hangover thing at the end is true. If your the type to get black outs or not get black outs none of us can escape the inevitable hangover.
I remember things no matter how drunk I get I have drunk ten beers before and still remembered what happened
12 shots in 2 hours for the graphic man sitting at the bar by himself is impressive
