Thankfully I've never blacked out from drinking. A friend's older brother killed his best friend and almost killed himself when driving drunk and it's always made me careful. I have been known to consume large quantities but I strongly dislike feeling out of control so to speak. So usually once I start to get paranoid that I'm losing control I will slow down and/or stop. My liver is also pretty good and I seem to burn off the stuff faster than those around me.
I once did black out when I was very sick. I'd been running a fever of 102+ for several days only brought down slightly by ibuprofen or tylenol (and not lasting very long), the highest it hit was about 104 in the middle of one night. I had just had some soup and gatorade for "lunch" when the next thing I knew several hours had passed. The phone was right next to my head, and there was like 3 messages on the answering machine. I'd never heard it ring. It was weird. I don't know if I was unconscious or delerious or what, but it sure was a bit dosconcerting.
