So i have blacked out a total of four times in my life, each time something crazy..... and bad happened.
My question for everyone is: what has made you black out? and what happened? (if you have been told the story or pieced it together etc.)
 
Ive blacked out a fair share of times in my 33 years. Ive browned out more.
For me, its much more likely 2 happen(if it is to happen) if alcohol is mixed with drugs.
Its been years since ive had any negative consequences from a black/brown out(thankfully) and i contribute that to making better decisions(sometimes tough) and continually making a concious effort to be positive(also tough).
Harm reduction is paramount. Know your limits, party safely and surround yourself with people you trust.
 
The only times I've ever blacked out were mixing benzos and alcohol, which I did a lot when I was a little younger but at 28 I'm responsible enough not to do stupid combos such as this.

Most of the stories are incriminating about where I found myself but a couple I can mention:
Woke up in a camper in someones front yard, who I didn't know
Woke up in my boxers on the beach with scratch marks on my chest.
 
Spent like 2 weeks fairly blacked out when I did my mdone taper which started at 40mg combined with atleast 2mg-10mg alprazolam or like 20-40mgs diazepam
 
I went through a big benzo experimentation phase from December last year to May this year. I blacked out ccountless times, made an idiot of myself in various ways, drank alcohol while on Xanax/Clonazepam (I'm and idiot I know). Blacking out SUCKS, I am lucky that I came away from that phase harm free, and will be staying away from benzos now. They're such boring drugs, only good for comedowns or extreme anxiwty.
 
The worst is being hauled off by emergency services and waking up in a psych. Limts, be informed.
 
Just once on alcohol. Apparently I went to different bars and even a dance club and just drank more, and made it home fine. I'm glad I did not drive or have access to a car or any sort of vehicle then. I did wind up meeting some strangers and someone who later became one of my best friends that night; but I do not remember any of it. I also do not remember any of this or remember being hungover the next day.

I've never used benzos recreationally or to get high; but I had IV valium when I had my wisdom teeth taken out. The nitrous did not even make me feel the needle which was good since I hate needles, and I woke up at home in bed hours later after the surgery with lots of stitches in my mouth. I do not remember any of it.
 
Countless times on benzos, mainly xanax and klonopin, many times mixing those two with my alcohol as well. Made a fool of myself, stolen from parties to buy meth, cried in front of people I barely knew over stupid stuff, (I'm a guy) hmm let's see confessed feelings to my friends girlfriends, the list goes on and on. And you think I'd learn from all this especially since I live in a small town and have built a sorry reputation for myself but nope I'm trying to find a way to get money right now to buy kpins so I can spend the day Benzo'd out. Eh it's a love hate thing.
 
Only benzos. And only when I'm trying to get to sleep and they are not working. Then I wake up half a day later with no clue what happened and feel terrible. Thank goodness this is always weekends. Also doesn't happen much anymore. I had about a year where it happened way too much.
 
I downed a bottle of wine and took a shitload of benzos. I ended up a psychotic mess smashing my friends window and pulling out the glass with my bare hands. I was taken to hospital where apparently I bit a police officer (lucky not to be in trouble!) then I was sedated once I'd calmed down. It really wasn't my finest moment.
