Just my thoughts regarding blackouts.
Didn't start getting them until I was in my middle fifties.
Oh yes, things got really out of control.
Ended up in trouble with everyone around me.
Realized it was time to stop drinking or only the Lord knows what would happen.
Sobriety has been working good for 7 years.
Many of my friends have also done terrible things while in blackouts.
A couple of them I write to in prison.
At least a couple of others died.
Serious things for the minds eye to ponder.
