And that is exactly what I'm talking about. You don't even know the difference between blacking out and having alcohol poisoning. If I had alcohol poisoning everytime I blacked out, I would literally be dead. You can black out without having alcohol poisoning, but you basically always black out when you get alcohol poisoning.

I black out because I drink in slight-overmoderation over an extended period of time (high tolerance). I don't black out because I'm a moron that grabs a bottle of vodka and just pours it down my throat. I know better than that. Maybe your friends don't, but they will learn. If not, they are simply dumbasses.
