You could be very sensitive to alcohol.

Go to AA. This happens alot to alcoholics.

I know you said you don't drink alot, but it might have something to do with how often you drink? I agree with Ollieo you definitely are sensitive to alcohol, as you are legally allowed to drink I suggest making an appointment with your doctor. I know certain people who black out once they've consumed alot of alcohol, so the doctor might know more about it. Good Luck though :)

I agree with BigRedOne. Blackouts are some of the first signs of alcoholism. Stop the frequency that you're partying and I'd limit yourself to 2 or 3 mixed drinks total. Bad stuff can happen when you're on autopilot. What happens if you tell someone something hurtful and ruin y'alls relationship because you were on autopilot? Like I said - these are the first signs of alcoholism and you need to make a conscious effort to revert yourself from drinking as much and as often as you do. I'm not saying you drink every weekend, but even a handful of times a year is enough for some people.

my dad has these
during one of these blackouts he decided he was gonna try and perform an abortion on my mam by beating her
she was pregnant with me at the time..

a couple years ago he was rushed into hospital
with pancreitis ( not sure if i spelt it right )
and after 2 days at hospital he had an ulcer bust
he was rushed into intensive care
where he was for about 6 month
aways unconciuos
we could on could only see him 2 people at a time
and there was 5 of us there
i had to go in on my own
and when i was standing there he flatlined
i was only 10 years old

the fact that you black out means that you just shouldnt drink because it means you aready have an intolerence to the alchol
the black outs will get longer and stronger where you will not act like yourself
you need to stop drinking
and if you dont stop drinking atlease drink a little
i would never wish what iwent thro on anyone including your future children so for them and everyone around you stop!

i get this almost every time i drink, in the summer i always drink alot cause all my friends drink almost every day. im only 18 and am not legal as i am from canada. sometimes i black out and peopel tell me that ive dont sometihing really stupid and i can sometimes vaguley remember it but usually not at all, and it always either gets me in trouble or gets me embarrised. its been getting pretty bad since i hang out at a skatepark and everyone seems to get rowdy come nightfall.
but yea i black out amost every time, it sucks because now im pretty much an alcoholic and i have no job and i usually do chores for liquor money for my friends grandma LOL.
luckily me and my family are going for a whole month road trip to the USA im very excited, im going to get to quit drinkang and smoking pot and cigarrets all together. when i come home im gonan get job and my own place.

Maybee you should quit drinking to, it really can ruin your life belive me

This is not good, you should do something about this. now. my father had a friend who commonly had these blackouts because of years of alcohol abuse. he had one of these blackouts while up a ladder, he fell, and hit his head on a radiator killing him instantly. for your own good, please go and see a doctor, or at least, cut down on the drink.

I've been drinking for almost a year now, not constantly though, and have only blacked out once. If it keeps happening, something is not quite right. Try cutting back a bit on those drinks.

just drink less. some people it hits them pretty hard.

I really dont think that i drink too much... i rarely drink more than once a week, and a couple of pints is usually the most i have...is that really a large amount?

Your body obviously reacts poorly to alcohol. There's nothing wrong with that. It's just like being allergic to peanuts or something like that.

I had a chat to a paramedic on Friday, apparently I'm just sensitive to that particular effect :)

im 20 and have been drinking only for 4 years...in the past year i've started drinking quite often, at least for me. and in the past year i started slowly forgetting evenings after drinking quite a bit - though up until a few weeks ago i was forgetting evenings every week. got a bit out of hand so i jus stopped drinking wen i got tipsy...if i were u i'd go get checked up cos urs sounds a lot more serious - it is a symptom of being an alcoholic so yeah jus don drink and go get it checked up :)

I have a VERY high tolerance for alcohol. I can drink 10-12 hard liquor drinks and not black out, puke, or anything. The next morning I can even tell you what the last thing I said was before going to bed that night drunk.

That doesn't make it a good thing. In fact I had to quit. Booze will kill you. If you're BLACKING OUT from alcohol, sweets, I would stay the fuck away from booze like the plague.
