I think I've done this in the past, on the phone to my husband but have complete memory blackout. I find this very, very frightening. They say murders can occur under the influence and the person know absolutely nothing about it! That being the case, one could drive home drunk, kill someone, and know absolutely nothing about it!!!! Really scary stuff.

Ps: this is so out of character for me that my friends would never believe it.
man driving in metro Detroit at 11 am slammed int ot he back end of a mini van killing everyone in the family but the father, only because he wasn't in the van.
murders do happen in a blackout.

a man died as a result of my drunken actions.
but it didn't stop me from drinking.

yup, pretty scarey stuff. just one more reminder of one of the consequenses if I picked up a drink.
