i have never been this, and consequently do not believe in it: is it not a social get-out clause so that ppl who CAN remember all too well can mutually agree never to speak of it again w/o actually to admit to an "?it"

my college friend mick woke up in a cell once and when he asked why he was there, was told he was being charged with throwing his shoes through someone's front window, in a part of town he didn't even know existed

the trial report in the paper concluded "mr [x] said he was very sorry, but he still couldn't remember anything about it"

― mark s, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Despite being a perenial boozer this has never happened to me either. I thereforte often suffer with morning after waking ups remembering exactly what I did the night before (including writhing on the carpet, etc etc).

― Pete, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I was talking about this the other day after BB Kate could not remember getting to her own bed. It has never happened to me either in any dramatic way. I can always remember what I did/where I went/where I went to sleep and why etc etc.

Sometimes I can't remember conversations - I will mention something the next day and be told I had mentioned it five times the night before. This is awful. But even then I usually remember when someone mentions.

― Tom, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Well I always used to think this wasn't possible, but in the last few years (usually due to whole bottles of vodka) i have had instances where I have no recollection of the previous evening's events!!

― Pinkpanther, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

It is possible and has happened to me (unable to remember just how exactly I got home etc) however, I'd say that a lot of the time when people say they can't remember, they can but are using the get- out clause you mention

― jamesmichaelward, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I have had this occasionally, mostly in connection with tequila which seems to induce black outs like no other booze. It's not usually large chunks which get forgotten, just minor details e.g. how did I get home / into bed etc. I also forget who I was with & what I said or did (bits, not everything). I have insisted that people weren't out when they were and that I didn't say things I did. Hurray for booze.

― Emma, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

for about a year in college i lived with someone who had severe issues w/ the bottle - one night when everyone was asleep he drank heavily and then broke everything in the living room and then sprayed everything in sight with a fire extinguisher! including my bicycle!! and then on the bicycle thru the thick white fire extinguisher dust he drew the words: "hi geeta (smiley face)" (!!!)

the next day he smiles blankly and sez to me: "i don't remember a thing!"

― geeta, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

do you seriously not believe in it mark? ??

― halo halo, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes it happens for real and no it's not very nice. I rarely forget whole episodes (e.g. going to a different part of town) but often have no memory of hours at a time / involved conversations.

In combination with The Horror (aka the fuh-fuhz, aka free-floating anxiety) this can lead to very fretful mornings. My friends sometimes have to reassure me that I didn't do anything *too* bad. They lie.

― Tim, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I can usually remember what happened when reminded of it by others, but might not have remembered on my own. I don't think I've ever not remembered after being prompted.

It's funny how it's usually the stuff that's best left forgotten that IS actually forgotten. And it's funny how these are the PRECISE things your EQUALLY DRUNK friends remember about what you did. For example last Saturday... erm, no perhaps not.

― Dr. C, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

It is real. I have lost a few hours here and there, but nothing too catastrophic.

― RickyT, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

it is TOTALLY REAL and i have lost time, conversations, locations, arguments and even on one occasion painting my entire arm with red nail varnish. it is not nice at all.

― katie, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

with minor stuff, like tom's conversations, yeah sure (hey!! imagine the trouble WE have what he just said etc etc) (haha) and w. automatic stuff (like going to bed) but no, not really

obviously alcohol progressively disables you, and the later stages, where you're totally horizontal and groggy and lizardbrain motor functions only, i can imagine that is kind of blurry, but any stage where you conceived and undertook a major project — geeta's soused bicycle — that has to have been imprinted. I accept that accessing it properly may be difficult, because the remembering self is somewhat not the enacting self.

What I mean is, it's there, even if yr unconsciously tiptoeing round it because it was TOO HUMILIATING to your sober dignity.

I'm not talking special-brew alkies who have poisoned their whole system for years: that's about rupturing the local narrative flow and the purpose of narrative flow (care of the self), till the days blur into weeks blur into years.

― mark s, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

If I forget an evening after a certain point, I get flashbacks, which is really awful!

― Pinkpanther, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, I've just remembered that this can be a positive thing as my brother has trained himself to be able to do the washing up when drunk (and without breaking anything) this means when he wakes up in the morning (unable to remember the night before) the washing up has mysteriously been done for him

― jamesmichaelward, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I often can't recall the details of getting home from boozing. e.g. last night. However the second worst experience I have ever had on drugs (too much white wine while still on a course of prozac!) caused me to lose a lot of time and I'm still learning about things I did/said in that time.

― Alan T, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I've only ever been drunk once. I watched England vs Romania on a black and white TV, and was sick alot. I then dropped out of uni. That's why I don't drink.

― jel --, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sure this does happen (it is too well recorded to be a complete fabrication) but what really interests me is that apparently due to the chemical imbalances brought on by alcohol, you will often be able to remember these blank spots when you get pissed again. Same is apparently true of drugs. Weird.

― Pete, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I can see the appeal of the "it's the unconscious mind hiding your humiliation" theory but it doesn't seem to stand up to the indiscriminate nature of the blanks: sometimes the most humiliating (apparently) part of an evening is the bit I remember best. Surely there must be other perfectly good explanations fo rthe phenomenon, biochemical or otherwise?

― Tim, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Usually I start chucking up way before I'm drunk enough to slur words, let alone forget stuff but when I was about 20 I managed to increase my alcohol tolerance to the point that it happened to me three times.

One time I woke up totally naked, lying on top of a bed, alone in a bedroom that I did not recognise. Then a mother walked in and saw me. A very awkward moment. I still don't know what went down that night.

Another time I apparently threw a drink in the face of a bouncer with whom I was very good friends. It took him a while to forgive me.

I don't remember what happened the third time.

I took this memory loss as a grave warning and reduced the amount of drinking I did and it has not happened since.

― toraneko, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Even better than forgetting chunks of the evening due to booze is inventing whole NEW chunks of the evening in a half-asleep (or fully asleep) dream world and waking up the next day unable to remember exactly where the line between reality & dreams is. I have this quite often and it is mighty confusing but also quite a relief usually to realise that I didn't really do what I dreamt I did.

― Emma, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

used to happen all the time at uni (i've been beaten up real bad and hhave no recollection at all) - not so much now - id love to think its the girlfriend slowing down my wanton drinking - unfortunatley it is her vodka missive by the top of the page

― born clippy, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Ahem!

― Pinkpanther, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I too did not believe in this so much. BUT. yes. a couple of months ago when I was in the czech republic I managed to get so drunk that I went back to my flat alone, put a pot filled w/ pasta+water on the cooker and got into bed w/ all my clothes on. when my friend arrived home and took the completely cook-ed pasta from the cooker, he said I got up and started sleeping, curled up, in different spots around the room and that, at one point, I grabbed his secondhand guitar between my legs and tossing it across the room managed to break some of the beading off. apparently I eventually crawled towards his bed, looked him in the eye, snarled and got back into my own bed. the next morning he told all and laughed. of course I did not believe him for a quite a while. but, unfortunately, there was another witness so. I couldn't just escape it by telling him he was lying.

― RJG, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't forget stuff generally, but what Emma says about half sleep/dreams is so true. Some mornings I have to spend a good half hour trying to work out the reality/dreams equation. Especially after Red Bull or worse a cheap substitute.

― Ronan, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Have you ever woken up from a dream crying cos something terrible has happened & then realised after a while that you were actually asleep?

― Pinkpanther, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Red wine always produces weird & v vivid dreams for me!

― Pinkpanther, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yeah, especially in teeth falling out dreams. I wake up in the dream going 'phew! it was all a dream and my lovely teeth are still in place' then put my finger in my mouth and they all start falling out again. Then I wake up shaking and sweating and spend the whole of the next day prodding my teeth looking for any signs of wobbliness. Sometimes I think my subconscious is out to get me.

― Emma, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh god I have this huge fear about losing my teeth & I hate it when I have dreams about it!

― Pinkpanther, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

pp i would say dont drink red wine - but i find this almost impossible to utter from my lips so i would say drink the red and bare with the bad dreams

― born clippy, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh def! Bring those babies on, the red wine is sooooov worth it!

― Pinkpanther, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

After Homelands UK I was going on the tube home at 8 or so in the morning and I started drifting off to sleep, and then I had this sort of sonic dream that the noise of the tube's escalating speed was some kind of music, and obviously it was all heading towards some mental climax, and just as it hit this in my head I opened my eyes and was about to say something to my best friend who was there with me like "wow some tune" and then I stopped myself.

Yeah I know that's such a rave on man feel the vibe story but it was very funny, I opened my mouth and jumped up and he's like "yeah?"

― Ronan, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

i have teeth crumbling dreams which scare the shit out of me. i hate it when your dreams put you on edge for no good reason, because the adrenalin is going i guess. i had a bonkers "on the run" dream last night in a city with no doors, and someone had nicked my mobile phone (known as "rhyme crime" for some reason) so i was utterly lost. just so you know

― Alan T, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I haven't had one of those 'someone is chasing me' dreams for ages. Mine always used to take place in an underground car park for some reason!!??

― Pinkpanther, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Not much of a boozer, but I sure suffer from toker's Short-Term Memory Loss...

― Andrew L, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah? I never had that!

i haf worked a brilliant elaborate off-the-cuff Theory of the Mind and the Memory on the bus to work, but must get some work done before I put it before you. You will larf at me non-stop BECAUSE IT IS SO TRUE!

― mark s, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Quick get the work done, I wanna hear it!

― Pinkpanther, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think I've ever got piss-ass drunk enough to *do* stupid things (or stupider than I'd do sober at least), never mind forget about them. After I've gone to bed, yes I do get [almost] hallucinations of the evening continuing, though usually it's too weird and/or interesting to confuse with reality (though I did have a really vivid argument with Starry after TBII).

― Graham, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I have never been this myself. Supposedly this means that we are the genetically lucky ones and can booze a fair bit yet will never become alkies! Hurrah!

― Colin Meeder, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I only ever remember doing really stupid things after cheap vodka at student nights, I was walking through Temple Bar in Dublin singing that song from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and then all these other people joined in.

Dublin at night is like a mental asylum, particularly Temple Bar. I remember one night coming home down Grafton Street and seeing about 100 people singing football songs and dancing around with massive grins like we'd won the world cup or something. Anyone who walked by in any other country would be scared but in Ireland all the passers by were dancing and singing aswell and there were two pathetic looking policemen wondering what the fuck was going on.

It's an experience, going out in Dublin, the nightbus can be like a party.

― Ronan, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Temple Bar is great for being drunk! I went to Dublin for a friend's b/day & we got so drunk it was great. The stupidest thing we did was all wear some tasteful horns! Most amusing!

― Pinkpanther, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

haha Temple Bar is always full of English tourists, they used to go to the Kitchen nightclub and be like "where's bono". But they'd always buy you drinks and ask if you wanted to come to a strip club after for their mate's stag do. Never went.

― Ronan, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Apologies for all of those English tourists! I do love Dublin tho!

― Pinkpanther, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I read somewhere that at a certain point after so much alcohol, the brain stops storing memories; to analogise using a video recorder, normal sober memories are taped using pristine tapes; after a few bears, the dirty tape heads cause chunks to not record properly. By the end of a big session, the video has just stopped recording.

Don't know if it's true, but it was quite scary when I read it.

As for the get-out clause, I genuinely believe that you can do many things when drunk, but it's not a get-out. If you know that can happen, the problem was getting so boozed up in the first place. But maybe that's the ex-Catholic in me talking.

― Nathan Barley, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I occasionally get this, and it's not always embarrassing episodes that I forget (members of Sinister might dispute this though) so I don't subscribe to the subconscious self-protection thing. To avoid having to think of myself as an alcoholic, I relate the phenomenon to the same brain function that made me sleepwalk as a child and wake up in a completely different part of the house having negotiated a bunk bed, closed doors, stairs etc.

― Archel, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, I quite often forget passages of time but nver the whole night, and yup, have done things only to be reminded the next day with me denying all knowledge, when combined with the Fear that Tim describes this is bloody excruciating (see last night of ATP 2001 for details as I lay there not remembering anything I'd just done and worrying that I was going to choke in my sleep atr the same time.)

― chris, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Ooh and I always have weird morning dreams, especially when I've been drinking, which since I have normally either fallen asleep with the radio on or slept through the radio alarm, are bizarre amalgams of whatever stories are on the Today programme. (Excuse the long sentence.)

― Archel, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Believe me this can happen. It's often horrible. On the other hand, alcohol does produce weird/cool dreams... once I dreamt I'd been playing the trumpet for about a week and Miles Davis hired me. I sounded pretty good too.

― LE CHUCK!™ (ex machina), Monday, 1 November 2004 04:44 (twenty years ago)

Another thing that's happened to me since hitting 24 is falling asleep due to drunkenness. Whereas before this was nigh-on impossible because if I got that drunk I'd get the spinnies and instantly wake myself up, the other night I managed to pass out while talking to my girlfriend in the kitchen. This has honestly never happened before.

― dog latin (dog latin), Monday, 1 November 2004 09:05 (twenty years ago)

I can lose chunks of my memory after even a couple of pints. I am absolutely, absolutely terrible when it comes to drunken memory loss.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 1 November 2004 09:42 (twenty years ago)

I'm actually quite good with drunken memories.
Sure, if I get absolutely smashed I won't exactly be able to give you a chronological play-by-play of how the night went, but for the most part, I'll know what I did. I might cringe at some of my behaviour, but I know I did it. OK, sometimes people need to remind me about certain chunks and/or conversations, but I always remember them when prompted. I have never been told I did/said something that I had no recollection of whatsoever. This tells me:

(a) I am a light drinker (FALSE - I'm a lush)
(b) My memory is rock solid (FALSE - 6 years of chronic pot smoking doesn't help)
(c) I tend to drink with people who get much more drunk than I do, hence there may indeed be things I don't remember, but no-one else does either, so memories may just be lost to the sands of time. (MOSTLY TRUE - but hard to quantify)

i've woken up from the last two sundays with REALLY WEIRD BRUISES. that i don't know where they came from. apologies to anyone at club FT that i grossed out with the one on my leg.

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 1 November 2004 11:15 (twenty years ago)

i get unexplained bruises a lot. too much to drink = lack of motor control & bad memory. a friend and i figure that millions are to be made in marketing cushiony, drunk-proof furniture for bars.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 1 November 2004 11:44 (twenty years ago)

how about cushiony, drunk-proof clothing?

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Monday, 1 November 2004 11:56 (twenty years ago)

I always figured this was a self-preserving myth too. Until the day before my birthday this year when I went to meet some friends of a friend in a pub for a glass of wine. Which apparently turned into five bottles of wine between two of us over the course of about 1 1/2 hours. Next thing I know I've come to in the loft of a random Chelsea flat with the skylight open, it's 3.30am and my shoes are missing. I don't remember leaving the pub, or indeed taking my contacts out and carefully putting them back into their container, or ANYTHING AT ALL after about 9pm.

This doesn't happen that often, normally the memories are present in my brain if not immediately accessible, but ah well, that was better than coming to in a phone box like my best friend once did.

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 1 November 2004 12:06 (twenty years ago)

Rob, that's called FAT and I'm trying to get there as fast as I can!

― Starry (hello chickens), Monday, 1 November 2004 12:07 (twenty years ago)

I quite often lose my memory as a reult of drinking. I can never remember how I got home.

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Monday, 1 November 2004 12:12 (twenty years ago)

I am always the one who winds up having to babysit/pilot my fellow drunks when out. If I have more than about 5 drinks of a night out without alternating with water I *will* throw up (discreetly).

Somehow I am able to get baked without the annoying memory loss thing but I don't half wander around in a fog looking for my keys if I've been smoking. In my case I think it casuses procrastination, not forgetfulness.

― suzy (suzy), Monday, 1 November 2004 12:48 (twenty years ago)

I got very drunk after a good friends open casket wake a year ago. I don't remember leaving the last bar, but I was escorted home, barefoot, jacketless and surly by two cops who woke up my boyfriend by shining a flashlight in his sleeping face so he could take custody of me. Two days later, we drove by my shoes, sitting neatly by a chain link fence surrounding a construction site about four blocks from our home. My jacket (and wallet) were returned to the cops by a woman who found them on her front steps, approx. midpoint between the shoes and my house. I never reclaimed the shoes, and they stayed there for about ten days. My only excuse is the circumstances - open caskets suck. Made it to the funeral with the biggest hangover ever.

― aimurchie, Monday, 1 November 2004 12:49 (twenty years ago)

I am curious - why didn't you pick the shoes up?

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Monday, 1 November 2004 12:50 (twenty years ago)

i haven't really got drunk since a Kerrang! party this year where my brother and i drained the free bar on empty stomachs. i can't remember *anything* of that night after my brother started DJing, except for kissing departing dep ed Dave Everley, and saying goodbye to Ray Zell at the door. evidence discovered later suggests i ate a bacon double cheeseburger from buger king en route, and that i got involved in a messy text message to and fro with an ex girlfriend. that and the horrific hangover that followed ensured i just don't drink anymore.

― stevie (stevie), Monday, 1 November 2004 12:56 (twenty years ago)

The shoe thing is funny. My cousin always gauges how good a night she's had by the state of her shoes. One day we went to visit her, and her shoes were outside, in bits, sitting on top of the bin. We knew then she was most probably inside, lying on her couch with a basin by her head.

― Penelope_111 (Penelope_111), Monday, 1 November 2004 12:58 (twenty years ago)

I just felt some pain in my hand, and looked down to see that I have a giant, swollen BRUISE on the PALM part of my hand. WTF? I blame Night Train.

I just remembered that this is probably from when I accidentally locked myself in my room and was frantically pulling on the doorknob.

Last night I couldn't remember how I got to where I was.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Monday, 1 November 2004 14:30 (twenty years ago)

The blackout thing has only really happened to me once, a few years ago. In a club, I had indulged about 10 times in the double+mixer=£1.50 offer. I was dancing out of my tree and regained reality attached by the face to some bloke, after which we got thrown out for snogging in the toilets. I swore at bouncers and everything. Ahah, good~~bad~~ times. I still drink like a fish, but not spirits in quite such large quantities.

My friend Rosie is queen of drunken memory loss, and it's always fun to make stuff up and see if she believes that she did it.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Monday, 1 November 2004 14:45 (twenty years ago)

in addition to mystery injuries there's the annoying morning-after game, "where did i put that," involving things like keys and wallet and mobile.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 1 November 2004 14:46 (twenty years ago)

Things are trickling in from last night. In addition to the Krystal debacle as detailed here: six cheeseburgers, I remember dancing a lot (I don't do this) and I can remember 5 people that I smooched randomly on the face, wonder how many more people I did that to. Hope I don't get the herps!

"where did i put that," involving things like keys and wallet and mobile.

I once lost my glasses and had to wear an old prescription for a month. Finally I ran into the guys from the band I had seen that night and I apparently left them sitting on one of their amps. Before they told me they had them I had decided they must have gotten flushed down the toilet while I was puking.

I'm so not missing getting trashed anymore.

Dude, you should really give it back then. Nice bras can be expensive.

Apparently I kissed one of my friends husbands on Saturday night, I'm sure I'd remember that. Also my Deep Purple cd is scratched tae fuck, I don't remember doing that either.

What is frustrating to me about this is that apparently my memory shutdown function comes on before I get the spins, get stumbly, get sick, or get pass-out-y. I wouldn't mind so much losing memories of praying OH PORCELAIN GODS and passing out in a pile of my own on the bathroom floor, but when I lose memories of MAKING OUT WITH PEOPLE and SERENADING STRANGERS and such, that's where the REGRET card gets played.

I seem to have some sort of strange curse/blessing (blurse?) that requires someone to break out a camera every time I go past the point of now return. It's really weird though looking at photos of things you did the night before that you have absolutely no recollection of.

"point of now return" ha ha

I am 25, and I still haven't experienced this unable-to-remember business. Sometimes the memory isn't quite vivid, but it's never completely gone.

As far as 24 being a magic number, that's when I developed an intolerance to caffeine!

I suspect I don't drink enough.

I am 22, and I have experienced this many many times since I was 16. Before that, it was all just fun and games, getting drunk and eating giant bowls of Frosties.

I mean, I really thought this had happened to everyone at least once...

I didn't think I ever got the blackout thing (from drinking) until hearing a story that I figured out about half way through was about me. Nothing bad - it was a good story and I wish I actually remembered it. This also was when I was about 24 or so. I've since been aware of not-quite-recalling-everything on a few occasions since.

one month passes...

Last night I came home REALLY pissed so I stayed up on the computer until the room stopped spinning, got in bed, switched off the light and fell asleep.
Next thing I know I am awoken by a mighty crashing sound to find myself standing in the middle of my room and having pulled down my 500+ capacity CD rack from the wall.
My Dad came in to check on me only ten minutes later only to find me fast asleep again with a sea of compact discs and broken racks adorning my floor.
Nothing like this has ever happened before - I don't even know what posessed me to do this and potentially ruin 1000's of pounds worth of music. I don'r normally sleepwalk either.
Anyway, it's going to take me a damn long time to clear these up.

On Tuesday, the morning after a lengthy demob session, I woke up fully clothed in a female friend's bed with neither of us having any clue quite how I got there.

This was all perfectly innocent and nothing untoward had gone on, but it was still midly freaky considering I distinctly remember crashing out on the sofa downstairs, and the telltale signs of my shoes and a half-full pint glass of water were still there.

So either I was abducted, I have a problem with alcohol-induced sleepwalking, or I have taken to drunkenly clambering into girls' beds. I have no idea which, if any, of these is the preferable option. But suddenly this doesn't seem quite so implausible.

I had this for the first time like two weeks ago! It was weird, I woke up the next morning and felt furious with myself for having passed out only five minutes into the party like a total loser. Then I talked to people the next day and they all recounted conversations we'd alledgedly had, I realised I must have been around for two or three hours without the slightest memory after five minutes.

What makes it even more annoying is that I was alledgedly snogging a girl I'd wanted to snog for ages, AND I HAVE NO MEMORY OF THIS. Graaargh.
