Never done it myself; but a couple of the worst, nastiest, most aggressive drunks I ever met were "nice guys" on a binge who didn't remember a thing and couldn't believe they'd done what they did the next day. One of them never did believe it; he didn't want to.

I think we all agree that we're responsible for everything we do. Why then, would you ever risk putting yourself in a state you have _no control_ over what you do? Because "I don't remember" is no excuse when you've acted like an ass, put someone in the hospital, or worse. Some people have murdered innocent strangers or close family relatives during blackout.

I always remember Gary Kildall, developer of CP/M. Didn't know him personally, but had friends who did. Coulda been Bill Gates if he'd had his life together and had controlled his drinking. Died blacking out on a barstool. Fell over backwards, hit his head on the floor, and died.

As you can tell, I have a dim view of drinking to excess.
