blackouts from drinking?
    #7813155 - 12/30/07 10:56 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

so my (younger) brother is in college and visits home once in a while. i know he started partying there and drinking. as far as he talks about i understand he gets blackouts and wakes up bruised. today i saw he had horrible bruises on his arms and chest, i asked about it and he jokingly said he has blackouts but manages to teleport into bed every time. i'm very worried about this and don't know how to tell him to take it easy and that blackouts are dangerous.

I only blacked out a couple times in my life... I did the first new years with alcohol. I drank almost an entire bottle of vodka! my friends hid it from me becauase I was getting too drunk... It was in the dryer and somehow I found it! The only other time I really blacked out was my prom weekend

tell him straight forward - blackouts are the precursor to alcoholism.

convince him to talk to a therapist /school counselor -FYI: anyone who wants to black out usually has some emotional baggage they cant carry anymore - and are looking for a way out. (Or so I have seen in my time as a councilor)

you should also tell your parents. this is a serious matter.

from the initial mood of the post - this isnt a fun night of abandon, sounds like a problem blossoming into addiction.

but what do i know.:stoner:

thank you SO much for this: i'm worried but don't know what to do. my father drinks a lot and did so around me and my bro during all our childhood. i don't drink much, i did a few years back but just for fun, you know, getting fucked up, puking, a bad hangover and then i decided it wasn't worth it and i'm pretty social without drinking.

tell an adult / councilor - they have them at ALL schools / universities. The problem is so intrinsic in young students, the schools are usually set up to help you - problem is no one wants to admit they have a problem.

my father drinks a lot and did so around me and my bro during all our childhood.

the child imprints on the negative/positive behavior of its parents between 6 months to 5 yrs (so much for the kids too young to understand arguments)- if he drank during your formative years - it is way harder to shake the "feeling to drink" , but it is possible.

i don't drink much, i did a few years back but just for fun, you know, getting fucked up, puking, a bad hangover and then i decided it wasn't worth it and i'm pretty social without drinking.

awesome - you should be very proud - whatever you do - dont let your bro/family thinkyo are in the wrong for pointing this out do what you can, but dont bad mouth anyone - that never helps-

3 - 4 years ago I used to black out every few months.

I rarely black out anymore, I'm glad I can say that because nothing good ever came from those episodes.
I had an amazing gift for making a fool out of myself in almost any situation.

I drink a hell of a lot more now in bulk than I did back then but the crucial difference is that now I know how to pace myself,
also I have the ability to tell when to call it quits or slow down for a night.

Getting completely shit faced dosent appeal to me now, I know plenty of people like your brother, most will grow out if it. Hope he does too
