I've always been good with alcohol.
I can also readilly admit there are times that I have gotten rather more drunk than I intended. But I tend to be able to hold my alcohol fairly well, all things considered.
But this past Saturday was ... very odd.
A bunch of us were going to Dragon Rouge for dinner. we couldn't get sat right away, so we went to a bar down the street where we began the beer flowing. 2 half-pitchers for myself, so roughly 4 pints, and then we went to the restaurant. This was over the span of about 1.5 hours or so.
Where I had a 5th pint, and a few sips of mead.
I ordered a second pint there, and all was good. I remember everything to that point in perfect detail. I remember the first two sips of that second pint of Noir.
Then, nothing.
Absolute memory loss.
I have 2 snippets of memory, of putting Corey to bed and closing both latches on his crate (we usually only close one, but for some reason I did both. I remember this) and I remember K telling me she was going to crash over at Kana's.
But that's all. Nothing else. Complete and utter blank. I apparently didn't make an ass of myself, but I was sick. I spoke at length with freinds, ate supper, but I remember none of it. I also apparently made some sort of prophetic comment regarding something that'll happen in a month.
This is frightening. Even when I have been drunk, and I mean completely plastered, I remember stuff. And 6 beers never put me that far gone. I was only just starting to really feel the alcohol, I can clearly remember that. But... never have I lost time like this. only once before have I forgotten anything, and that was after about 6 or 8 hours of solid drinking, and then 2 puffs of a joint, and I was 19.
I really don't know what to make of it. I'm actually still trembling because of it. I'm a little worried because I can pretty much guarantee my drinks were not tampered with. They weren't on an empty stomach. I wasn't overly tired. So that leaves something physical or meta-physical. The latter would require a damned good explanation. The former scares the crap out of me.
