A friend of mine blacked out at a party, said/did some hilarious things, and woke up the next day having to be shown how the party went via snapchat videos. He doesn't drink anymore.

Hopefully this guy follows a similar path, otherwise he's going to seriously hurt someone.

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.
