I had a similar experience when I was younger. It doesn't feel good listening to people tell you all the cringe shit you were doing the night before.

I also really didn't like the blackout itself. It felt like instantly time traveling from partying to everyone in the house being asleep. It felt like a waste.

Being blackout is just as creepy to me as medical anesthesia. You're just suddenly somewhere else and feel like shit.

Anyone who likes being blackout should get evaluated for depression imo. You'd rather just delete hours of your day than live life.

I don't think the goal is blacking out - more the extreme drunkness right before you black out. However it's a very fine line

When I was an alcoholic, the goal was very much about blacking out.

Definitely never drove though, eliminated all possibility of that at least.

Your wording tells me you overcame your shortcomings, so kudos. Glad you were smart enough to prevent anything terrible from happening.

Man when I first got my wisdom teeth removed I cried when I woke up. I felt violated that I had been fully lucid and now I blink and my teeth are gone and I had no idea it was happening to me.

My first and only blackout is the exact moment I stopped trying to get really drunk. And had a long time of pretty much abstaining throughout my 20s. I started not liking ending my day with drunken stupor and ruining the next feeling like garbage.
