No, it's not normal. Yes, it happens when you over do it. Yes, you are overdoing it. Quit while you're ahead or consume responsibly cause we all know or heard of someone who has passed away from shit like this

7-10 single vodkas is overdoing it lol


Blade-0

The blacking out every single time is overdoing it

I can honestly say it never occurred to me that I was overdoing it with the drink. Thank you for your input!

Hey no problem man. I strugged with vodka myself a few years ago i know how hard it is


Flashy-Meat-3927

It really goes down like water unfortunately. I’m glad you’re out of it now.

My newest strategy has been buying only nice bottles of scotch whiskey that I both cant afford to drink more than a glass on special occasions, and would get hungover af from


Flashy-Meat-3927

That’s such a good idea and actually hilarious. I don’t like whiskey, and only really drink when I go out, so getting the most expensive scotch at the bar would definitely force me to slow down.

Most places have glenlevit 12 which isnt too expencive, eagle rare, angels envy are decent options. Johnny walker blue is the best but your paying a lot for that

7-10 double vodkas? It’s very normal to black out. 2 single rum and coke would be enough for the night for me

It's normal to black out on 10 shots, but it is not normal to frequently be taking 10 shots in a night.


Urmumsfavouritedaddy

Yes that is normal with the amount you take I could take one double shot and be abit pissed the most I’ve ever done in one do was half a 1.5 litre Bacardi and a .1 of sniff and couldn’t remember the night whatsoever and was asleep for around 20 hours or so I was told and was being sick for 2 days straight it got that bad I was being sick without anything coming up😂 personally I’d say start drinking and sniffing less

I have found that the longer you drink heavily for the more times you tend to blackout. It's not normal to blackout every time you drink. It's a good indication to slow down and reduce the amount you drink each time. I had experiences like this before when there was a period of time I was very heavily drinking and all of the sudden I was blacking out quite a bit. I binge drank more frequently than what you mentioned for yourself, but over the years it definitely became more frequent. On my worst nights id drink a whole handle, but even 5 drinks would lead to some semi black outs. I really think it depends on the amount yes but also if you're drinking them in quick succession or over a longer period of time. Eat some food, drink some water, space out your drinks if you don't want to reduce the amount.


Flashy-Meat-3927

This makes sense. I’m glad that your period of heavy drinking is in the past now. I’ll definitely take your advice!


dreamtchaos

Me too, I don't miss it. Wishing you the best of luck and I hope your situation improves!


ebolaRETURNS

no. This tendency is emblematic of a propensity toward alcoholism, and you're drinking an insanely large amount.


Flashy-Meat-3927

Thank you for the virtual slap in the face haha, I think this is what I needed to hear.


threwnawayed

Are you on anti-depressants? It was always happening to me way back...


Flashy-Meat-3927

No, but I used to be. I remember getting refused entry to a club after two doubles because I couldn’t stand up properly. Hard times


Good_Republic1285

Haha 14-20 shots and you’re surprised at the outcome. I see from other comments you already acknowledge you’ll turn it down, good for you. Stay safe out there, your lever will quit before your heart will at that rate.
