Are you conscious during an alcoholic blackout?!
I drank a lot of alcohol and had a 1-hour blackout period in which I was fully functioning (according to my friends) but I do not recall a single bit of it!. I heard that the alcohol prevents the brain from storing the short term memory to long term memory!. Does that mean I was still conscious during that period but just don't remember it!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

First off I like to refer to blackout periods as "Time Traveling" It sounds a lot cooler that way!. But yes you are fully conscious during these periods but you will not remember any of it!. This is generally when you are on top of the table and dancing or throwing up in the bathroom, hoping you made it there of course!. In any event the answer to your questions is YES!. But since you will not remember any of it it's easier to describe these periods a time traveling events!. I was at the bar doing tequila shots and the next thing I knew I was on some beach some 10 miles away and don't remember much after that and then I ended up in my bed somehow with a god awful headache!. P!.S!. Stay away from wormholes!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
I always know what I am doing, although I do things I wouldn't usually do!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
You were definitely conscious but not at all in control of what you were doing, try not to drink so much in future, getting wasted is one thing but drinking so much you cant remember is potentially dangerous!.

Yup!. Now try to get them to tell you what you did!.!.!. could be enough to stop you drinking that much again!. Blackout is normally your brain editing out bad stuff!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
One can or one shot is all it takes to slow down or prevent your brain from focusing or thinking straight!. You may be conscious but not fully!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
If you had a blackout you would not remember anything about it, normally you would not be conscious & appear to be sleeping!. If you were managing to 'function' but could not remember then the chances are that you were enibriated & suffered memory loss not a blackoutWww@FoodAQ@Com

i don't really black out but i guess i have a few times because there are some times that i can't even remember certain parts of the night to this day and my friends keep telling me it happenedWww@FoodAQ@Com
You are physically conscious during a blackout period, but not mentally conscious!. I have had many of these experiences, and it is caused by continuous, and intense drinking!. Once you go into a blackout stage you will not remember anything that happend during that period, ever!. Your motor skills will still seem perfectly functional during this time, and I do not know how that is, but it is true!. I know people that have driven a car all the way home during a blackout without incident, and yet do not remember the whole drive home!. It's actually pretty scary!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes, you're concious!. If you're unconcious, that means you're asleep!.
Unlike what other people above me have said, you are in fact in control of what you do!. Yeah you're drunk, you may do things you normally wouldn't, but you control your actions!. You just can't remember them later on!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

As they say the lights were on but no one was in! In a blackout you seem fully concious to other people but you don't remember it!. Scary stuff!. I used to do that on a regular basis now I don't drink, I had a few hospital visits because of it!. xWww@FoodAQ@Com
It will all come back to you in time, and then you will start to remember all the things you did!.(not good)Www@FoodAQ@Com
