In my younger days I learned that I’m a blackout drunk. I’m usually very good at handling my liquor but there’s a tipping point that can come on suddenly if I’m not careful. Fortunately I just go to sleep and I’m not belligerent or confrontational to anyone. It’s a very out-of-body experience though - like a light that’s just suddenly switched off. I don’t remember anything after a certain point and there’s simply a gap in time that’s just gone.
It’s scary enough that I’ve learned to avoid getting to that point now but there are at least half a dozen incidents in my past that I sincerely would not be able to remember if called on to testify.
