I'm experiencing more blackouts than in previous years, too. But now mine are occurring whenever I drink, not just on weekends when I drink more. In fact, just this morning I saw the frying pan in the dishrack and wondered how it got there. The only thing I would have fried would have been corned beef hash, so that must have been it. And then when I checked skype, there I was posting that I had just fried a can of corned beef hash. I have no memory of it.
I think your idea of starting later and drinking water is a good one.
I'm fortunate that I live and drink alone. I'm not fucking up game night all to hell. When I knock over my wine glass there's no one nearby to have to jump away from my mess.

Also, in case you guys are unaware of it, you can check your browsing activity from the night before on Chrome by using CTRL H. It's good for not only finding out what sites you were on, but you can also make a good guess as to what time you went to bed.

Re: The Blackout Thread
Yeah I was gonna comment on the corn beef hash in the Skype chat actually, and that it sounded good lol. Yes the freedom of drinking alone does have many benefits. Especially in the blackout regard.

Re: The Blackout Thread
It was my turn to black out this time. I didn`t make it to bed two nights in a row. I gain bonus drunk points for that right?
Drink!

Re: The Blackout Thread
Yep! The Blackout Demon was exorcised from me and found a new host. oett had no idea why he was on the couch when he woke up one morning, and the next morning he was passed out sitting in his computer chair at his desk. Problem was, I was already sleeping so I didn't get to see any shenanigans prior to his passing out. He had the "freedom of drinking alone", like Hugh. No witnesses.
Okole maluna!

Re: The Blackout Thread
How do you do?
I am terrified by my blackouts. Hate it! It always starts so well: "Woaw, I'm in such a grand and glorious mood and wanna share it with everybody!..."
Then you open your eyes and start searching for:
-credit card? Great it's there!
-keys/door? Cool
-phone?...PHONE!? Aw naw!!
You may find your favourite shades under the couch four days later.

Doesn't happen in your 40's either. Trust me.
