question about blackouts

[lazna]

Hello I have a question its been troubling me since it happen..I drank about 9 drinks last friday and can't seem to remember after a certain point. I remember everything in detail ..drank my last drink and went home remembering everything until about 2 hrs later when I layed down to goto bed and don't remember is that just me going to sleep or is that a blackout? I'm worried something happend while I slept could it be possible if I didn't drink for 2 hrs before bed and remember everything?

This writing sounds like lasharon?I wonder?

There is no accounting for why and when people blackout. It's not an exact science.  But you had plenty to drink, and anything could have happened.

but I have been reading on blackouts and it says you wouldnt recall anything I remember the whole evening and I stopped drinking 3 hrs prior how is it considered a blackout? I had 9 drinks over a 6 hr period

I've had many black outs and it sounds like you had a black out.

maybe the ppl u've sought advice from about the alleged blackout drink as much as u or more so their advice would not be that credible!.10 BAC isn't falling down drunk but it is intoxicated and add the Lexepro!the best of luck to u.....hope u don't get in the car and drive like i did when i was impaired.

I've talked to a lot of people who say I wouldn't of blacked out that long after drinking, I was sobering up and wasn't even that drunk...plus it was over a 6 hour time period so I'm inclined to think it wasn't a blackout but thanks for your answer...

[ibizan]

yes u could blackout 3 hours after drinking and remembering a lot up until then.....i did it for YEARS b4 i got sober......drank so many drinks and did pot pills cocaine and assortments of thisnthat....it was NORMAL for me to drive with a .25 BAC!i had my first blackout at 14 and thought it a normal thing.....and had many thereafter!the Lexepro would also intensify the effects of the alcohol.

It was 9 drinks sorry and in 6 hrs

[lazna]

I did that I was .10 but I googled some stuff I think I would of blacked out way before if I was going to I was home for 3 hrs watching movies and stuff and was fine I also remember everything...then layed down and I maybe went to sleep but I can't find anything on that on google. I was totally fine could you still blackout 3 hrs after drinking and remembering everything till then?

WHOA!10 drinks in how many hours?and no shots just pouring in2 glass w/the coke?no the 3 hour lapse would not be enuf 4 u 2 sober up!plus having SSRI lexapro in ur system!LIGHTS OUT SISTER!google this.....the drinking wheel......it is a online blood alcohol calculator that has u type in ur weight.......time frame within how many drinks u consumed then ur blood alcohol level.in Ohio legal intoxication is .08...i will gather that urs was much higher than this!!!!

[lazna]

I didn't drink for 3 hrs before I think I fell asleep and I remember putting on my pjs and layed down...wouldn't that 3 hour lapse be enough to sober up?

[lazna]

I take 30mg of cipralex have been for awhile

[lazna]

I remember going to lay down and what I changed in to...I drank 5 drinks early in the evening then 5 more around 1 and went to bed at 5 wouldn't I have to drink right before I passed out? I didn't drink for at least 3 hrs and it was rum and diet coke...no shots

[ibizan]

a blackout is memory loss after a heavy drinking episode... ur walking talking or unfortunately driving and doing fine or so u think.......then u land somewhere and wake up later!yes i do believe it was a blackout!9 drinks?how many shots?straight liquor or mixed?how much do u weigh?what meds are u on?
