karate doesn't confuse me either. Sounds exactly like I was for decades, trying to figure out if I had a problem or not when I actually had a huge, glaring one.

Oh my gosh, I was starting to think I was the only one!! I've said soooo many times that I just don't understand why I started blacking out on what I don't consider to be very many drinks. It's like at the end I could drink LESS (but was drinking more due to drinking past blackout).
All *they* talk about is building a huge tolerance but I felt mine was decreasing.
