Injection drunk?

i there,
Is it really true that you dont feel pain when you are drunk? And what exactly is drunk?

I, once , drank 2 beers and a shot of tequila. First i got buzzed and my words were slurring a bit. Then i dunno why i got a severe headache. After some 40 mins , i went and lied on the floor and slept . Well the sleep was not a very comfortable one like we sleep at home. It was a hard and hot surface and initialy i had trouble falling asleep . I also woke up inbetween now and then.

Now , if somebody stuck a needle into me ( injection ) , would i have woken up? Normally i definitely would , but on that occasion would the alcohol prevent me from waking up?

ps: i had puked thrice and i slept only around 40 mins after drinking.

I used to be a very heavy drinker.  During that time I was in an accident where I was squeezed between two trucks at the midsection.  I was surprised by how much it didn't hurt.  I hadn't been drinking yet that day and yet the pain was minimal.  I have had many drunk experiences where I felt little pain when falling down or fighting.  Is it normal to have people ask why I'm bleeding and not even know that I was bleeding?  hmmmm

Well, alcohol is nervous system depressor. Person can be awake, he could be sleeping, but if he`s really drunk, anything is possible.

From my personal experience, I know you can be aware of some things, but not of everything. Your physical senses can be different of your state of consciousness. Few times I was aware somebody was carrying me because they have told me (if they didn`t, maybe I wouldn`t have been aware), but I wasn`t feel it. And if I had been sleeping then, I definitely wouldn`t have been aware of the fact that somebody is carrying me...

I hope I explained it right, I`m not really good in English. You are welcome, and I hope I helped.

Thanks for your response.

My last query ,

Would a really drunk person know if somebody sticks a needle ( injection ) behind them? Here the person is awake but is drunk with same scenario ( severe headache , puked and has little difficulty to walk and talk. )

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, alcohol slows down your nervous system, your functions, reactions and your sences. When you are totally drunk you can fall down, don`t remember it and ask yourself: "Why I have got these brussies?".

If someone stuck a needle into you when you were really drunk, teoretticly you don`t have to feel it or wake up. If someone did IV on you, you can see the trace of it. And why do you think someone did?

If you don`t drink often and much, than this quanitty could have been enough for you to be  really drunk. It also depends if you were eating or drinking fast...
