A lot of people think that a blackout is the same as passing out. It's not. Blackouts happen when your brain essentially stops but your body keeps right on a-going. About as safe as putting a blindfold on and driving the car.

It's not really an issue of whether or not you do anything stupid, but of what those chemicals are doing to your body, & what your body may do (like drive a car) while your mind isn't in charge.

You drink every night because your husband does--is that so? Excuse me, but you drink every night because your body has developed a need for it every night. It's not your tolerance that has built up, it's your addiction.

No, it's not good. & you do know what to do: Get help. That's why you're here.
