Black out

[Danny45678]

Four weeks ago i went to a gentlemans club and drank a lot of alcohol . I blacked out and awoke In an abandoned house fully clothed minus one shoe , pants soiled, no marks, no bruises , no blood , no semen. What are the chances I had sex during this blackout ? Usually I'm non functional during one. Just want to know the liklihood

Great to hear of the steps you are taking to keep yourself safe.

It was my experience that once began to black out, i always blacked out. It seems to just get to that point, and you can't turn back the clock on it.

Hope all is well and the folks at the meeting are as well....you're doing right by yourself. Good on you. It works long term, if you let it.

Glad to hear You are on the right track and glad everything checked out medically.  

Joining AA is a great step !! and seeing a psych never hurts - It shows that You have courage to realize You have work to do.  Thank heaven for AA and therapy !!

GoodLuck - I Wish You Well From The Bottom Of My Heart

but You DID drink to black out on Your "bad night"

and You DID drink to blackout 10 years ago.  

Keep drinking and I can probably guarantee You will have another black out episode

irresponsibly drinking to black out - whether it be 10 years ago or now
AND
irresponsible sexual behavior while drinking are still TWO very good reasons not to drink at all !!

as for Your original question:  No one can answer what the 'chances' are that You had sex during that black out.  No crystal balls, here

I still say You should take this as Your body (brain) warning You that drinking to black out is dangerous - BOTH on an alcohol level AND on a sexual level

I will explain to You what a 'black out' is.  When Your blood alcohol level reaches a certain point alcohol SERIOUSLY disrupts the activity of SEVERAL neurotransmitters in SELECT areas of Your brain.  These areas are responsible for ENCODING and STORING short term memories and THEN transitioning them into LONG TERM memory.  When those receptors shut down (because of the level of alcohol in Your blood) short term memory FAILS to become long term ones.  That is why You can still 'function' but have no memory of what You did, where You did it or who You did it with

SO - whether or not You had a sexual episode is ONE problem - drinking to  black out is ANOTHER - EVEN IF You only do it every 10 years !!

I'm still unable to answer Your 'sexual' question but I can sure list reasons all day long why You should not drink alcohol

GoodLuck

I apologize, but I don't drink to black out. I had a bad night , which I hadn't had in almost the years. That's why I'm asking

[TTinKKerBBell]

"Usually I'm non functional during one"  ?? !!

If I were You I would be a LOT more concerned about DRINKING to black out rather than what I did DURING black out !!

Black outs are associated with alcohol abuse and are considered to ONE of the signs of damage from alcohol use - not to mention the damage done to Your liver (and other organs).

Definitely careless sex is problematic -

So Is Drinking To BlackOut

that is, if one is concerned about health and life, Family and relationships
