Maybe see if you can get a drug test - if you were actually drugged it may still be in your system at a detectable level.

Also, maybe you should talk to a therapist / psychologist.

That was my first thought. If he was with a group of women I wonder if someone slipped something into a drink and he drank it by mistake.

Exactly this has happened to me before, I would assume it’s fairly common unfortunately

I got roofied at a concert, pretty sure it was meant for my girlfriend. Luckily we split the drink so we both got half of whatever was in it, but it was still a very rough night.

I'm sure this has happened to me. I can usually hold my drinks pretty well and would regularly drink through the night and stop around 9am the next day, but going out with female friends for drinks at uni and completely blacked out a few times, luckily just woke up at home in my own bed but never had complete black outs like that before.

this has happened to me before where i went to a club with a few girls and got invited to someone’s table. I don’t remember anything after taking one drink from them.

Happened to me as well. An ex and I were in an unfamiliar town on vacation. We both ordered the same drink (draft beer) I think someone was trying to drug her and accidentally did mine, or was trying to incapacitate me. I lost vision after one beer and was in the bathroom uncontrollably voiding bowels. I don't remember much else. She had to basically carry me back to the hotel. Scary stuff

Doubt it, Op had 5 drinks on 4 hours. Champagne, mixed drinks and a shot.

Most non-alcoholics would be pretty drunk off that. The only people who wouldn’t would be people who drink regularly / daily / multiple times a week and have developed a tolerance

lol imagine being this confident while clueless. Dude could weigh 140 lbs in this case and still be legal to drive much less blacked out.

For real, these people seem to be ignoring how alcohol metabolism works and also that OP literally states he knows his limits and was nowhere close to them. Sounds like this wasn't the first night he'd ever tried alcohol, folks.

I’ve got the feeling that Minute-Ad believes everything he learned from the grade school anti-booze campaign.

Minute-Ad-2148 t1_ixagrx7 wrote

That’s funny because I weigh 140 pounds exactly lol.

From experience using my friends breathalyzer, my BAC when I was drinking would reach .08 after about 2-3 drinks in about a 2 or three hour period.

And I’m fairly certain about that because I avoided a DUI with a .07 after 2 drinks in 2 hours. I was drinking almost daily and felt fine.

Uh, that's really wrong. I drink once every couple weeks, sometimes once a month and I can put away 4 glasses of scotch before I feel it.

Minute-Ad-2148 t1_ixag4k5 wrote

Well your binge drinking would be responsible for your tolerance then.

Binge drinking is a sign of alcoholism. Not all alcoholics drink daily. Binging and going on runs are also signs of alcoholism.

Seek help.

Didn't say I did drink that much every time I drink. Just that I'm able to. I very rarely have more than a glass when I drink. I only ever drink like that when the occasion calls for it (ren faire).

How many fl ounces of alcohol are you putting in your drinks? You must be putting barely any in there if it takes you 4 drinks before you start getting warm and fuzzy

You're gonna be confident enough to ask for fluid ounces, but not alcohol percentages? Come on.

Minute-Ad-2148 t1_ixamd1a wrote

Why would I need to ask about percentages when they already told me what they drink? Scotch is typically around 60% alc give or take 10 points.

I guess deductive reasoning is not a strength of yours.

Scotch is not typically 120proof lmao. You're talking mighty confidently for a guy who has no clue what he's saying. Try 80 proof (40%) give or take a few points.

If you’re pouring 90mls of scotch in your drinks and it takes you four drinks to start feeling warm and fuzzy, you are most deffffinitely an alcoholic

macrone13 t1_ixap3td wrote

that’s a little harsh. The occasional binge - especially socially with others - hardly makes you an alcoholic.

Minute-Ad-2148 t1_ixatkk9 wrote

Alcoholism comes in many forms. Not every alcoholic is on the brink of dialysis and unemployed drinking daily. Prolonged periods of abstinence do not preclude someone from alcoholism.

The primary symptom of an alcoholic is an inability to control their drinking, e.g. binge drinking. A typical non alcoholic drinker usually will nurse their drink over a longer period of time, perhaps not even finishing it before it gets warm before going to get another. They will have a set limit on how many drinks (typically 1 or 2) they intend to have and will stick to that limit, possibly not even reaching it. On special occasions such as holidays they may drink more excessively but will do so in a responsible manner and likely will not be bingeing one after the other. They similarly do not drink with the motivation of “feeling it”.

I get buzzed off the neck of a Mike’s hard lemonade and I wouldn’t be blackout after that much.

Minute-Ad-2148 t1_ixav0fw wrote

Well mikes hard lemonade is less potent than liquor and hardly comparable.

Let’s take his mixed drinks for example. If the mixed drinks were over poured with 60ml instead of 44ml he would have had just over 4 drinks in 3 glasses.

Now let’s talk about the champagne. He didn’t say if it was poured in a flute or a wine glass, if it was in a wine glass then a glass of wine is supposed to be poured 1/3 full. Suppose the bartender poured it 2/3 full. That would essentially make it two glasses of wine. So 5 drinks can easily become 7+ drinks by over pouring

angelerulastiel t1_ixawxts wrote

Whoosh. The fact that it’s lower ABV is exactly my point. I have an extremely low alcohol tolerance and I would still not be blackout drunk after champagne and shots. Miserable yes. But not blackout.

I've been roofied before. ER doc the next day said the drug test would only detect it if it was still active in my system

Minute-Ad-2148 t1_ix9g3gp wrote

I suspect that OP was not drugged. I don’t know how big of a person they are but it looks like they had 5 drinks in 4 hours.

  • glass of champagne
  • mixed drink
  • shot
  • mixed drink
  • mixed drink

It’s very possible that the drinks had more alcohol than OP expected.

I know adults who don’t drink often, myself included, and that much alcohol would absolutely have me wasted.

Unless OP is an alcoholic with a high tolerance I’d def say it’s the alcohol

leapin_lizardzz t1_ix9m429 wrote

Except.....you forget that your body is constantly metabolizing....1 sec Google shows that the avg male metabolizes alcohol at a rate of 0.015 g/100mL/hour, which is the same as reducing your BAC level by 0.015 per hour.

It shows a shot can increase BAC by .02 -.04 Let's assume op is in the middle at .03 rise for every drink.

So...

5 drinks x .03 = BAC of 0.15

Then subtract the .015 burned off every hour..

0.15 - 4 x 0.015 (old school order of operations you fuckers!!) = a end of night BAC of 0.09

0.09 while over the driving limit is most definitely NOT Black out drunk....

Somethings up....either op is confused by how much alcohol he drank or something else is going on

ALSO!!! I find it suspect that GF said she thought it was a psychotic episode....NOT you dumbass drank too much and turned crazy. This indicates to me its not his normal drinking/drunk behavior

Some_RandomDude69420 t1_ixa48hx wrote

That is odd... I kinda wonder if she did it so she could go off with someone else (if you know what I mean)

Another thought I had was that someone "wanted" his gf, spiked a drink, and OP got said drink.

Roidz18 t1_ixabl4c wrote

Lol throwing the word alcoholic around is pretty clumsy, besides you’re just trying to be a douche. OP already said it’s nowhere near his limit, therefore we already know he can drink more than he did.

You believe the DARE cops too?

23

Minute-Ad-2148 t1_ixafycj wrote

I never experienced DARE so I don’t know what DARE cops say. I’m going to guess not considering I grow and use cannabis.

My experience with alcohol is that many people think they know their limit but actually don’t. Usually they base their limit on their drink of choice at their watering hole of choice. That may be at home or at a bar. With beer it is fairly easy to gauge your limit but with mixed drinks it absolutely is more difficult due to the nature of different bartenders pouring heavy or light depending on mood and training. Some bar tenders pour heavy thinking that a stiff drink will get them a bigger tip whereas others pour light assuming that the patrons will order more drinks.

Not to mention the fact that alcohol tolerance is circumstantial. One person may not show any signs of intoxication with a BAC of .08 and another person might appear heavily intoxicated at .08.

If OP had been drugged they likely would have felt extremely groggy and confused when they woke up. Waking up without a hangover is not a sign of being roofied.

When I was 110 lbs, 5 drinks in 2 hours wouldn’t even get me blackout. I was extremely lightweight compared to everyone I known…

And we are talking about 185 lbs, no medications, ate well, someone who drinks… Op was either drugged or had a breakdown.

Please go see a doctor op, it’s always a good thing to double check. Girlfriend prolly was shocked and confused. Hopefully she’ll overcome that and support you to seek help

Minute-Ad-2148 t1_ixc25qs wrote

Alcohol tolerance is not static, there’s a variety of factors that affect tolerance as well as absorption rate. When I was drinking daily I was able to take 5 shots in a row just fine in the middle of the day without blacking out. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be blackout drunk if I took 5 shots now at the same weight given that I drink 1-2 beers once or twice a year, almost always the second one is because the first one got warm. It’s not uncommon for people to overestimate their tolerance to alcohol.

You're assuming a single drink has "a single drink" in terms of servings of alcohol. Some drinks, like a Long Island Iced Tea or a 4 horsemen can have 4-6 servings of alcohol in a single drink.
