Once got so drunk in a nightclub I threw up on the bouncers shoes after he woke me up for falling asleep
I then woke up kerbside outside a gas station with friends looking at me disgusted about 12 miles from home
I don't know how I got home. Never again

It's just something that happens when you hit a certain level of intoxication. Just sounds like you haven't been drunk enough. My friends have legions of stories about the shit I've done while blacked out and I can't remember any of it. Seriously my life in the early 2000's was basically the things Vince Vaughn characters would have monologued about back then.
The short answer is no, I wouldn't. The slightly longer answer is that in those five or so years, only four or five of those times was I told what I acted like, and it was enough to get me to stop drinking entirely.
I've blacked out frequently with little to no alcohol in my system before. I just seem prone to memory loss.

I black the hell out all the time when I drink. It's become a problem so I'm mostly abstaining from alcohol this year.
Having read a few books and articles on the subject to try and better understand it, it's actually people with higher alcohol tolerance that are more likely to black out, as they will drink faster, and keep drinking in large quantities.

I know people who have been hospitalized for alcohol poisoning and still haven't blacked out, so I have to laugh a little at all the responses saying that you "just haven't drank enough."
I mean, any more than that is literal death, so...
Yah this is me, even down to abstaining the year. It's been problematic.
Never blacked out. I think more people say it to avoid embarrassment or think it makes them sound cool than it really happens to.
You've never woken up in the morning not remembering putting on your sleepwear and going to bed? That's a treat.
I've only blacked out once in my life. Usually when I drink too much I just end up throwing up for about 3-5 hours and pass out after.
Trust me, it's not fun lol. I haven't blacked out in like 5 or 6 years, but before that it happened to me all the time in college. Back then I wasn't too good about limiting how much I drank.
The original Four Lokos (before they were banned for a bit and removed from the market to change the recipe) were blackouts in a can. You'd drink like half of a can and feel amazing and then before you know it you're just gone. Definitely a good thing they reworked the recipe on those because the original Four Lokos were dangerous lmao.

I've passed out drunk, many times, but never memory loss blacked out drunk no.
I'm a pretty high functioning alcoholic though, was in the Navy where drinking is half the job.
if I can polish off an entire 24 pack of Bud and half a bottle of Jack Daniels in a night and not black out, I don't want to know what will get me to that point.

I have entire days missing. Not proud of it but yeah. When you go on multiple day benders, you'll hit a point where you black out.
A long time ago I went out on a Friday early in the day and started drinking heavy and I woke up at home Monday morning with no recollection of the entire weekend. That's not a good feeling. I thought it was Saturday morning. When I found out it was Monday I freaked the fuck out.

Ehh, it sucks OP.
Thankfully those days are past me, but those times I could have easilybeen the guy tumbling onto the subway tracks, getting hit by a car etc. Your body is basically on autopilot and you gotta hope you and possibly your minders get home safe.

actually you know you've had a good night when you go to sleep drunk and wake up the next morning still drunk. Not hungover, still drunk. I last did it about a year ago, after a night of dancing with tequila.
Blacked out once during my 21st. Thankfully I had trusted friends around me to take care of my drunk ass. Make sure you're surrounded by close friends if you intend to get black out drunk!
It was kinda scary waking up and wondering just wtf happened because I couldn't remember anything aside from small glimpses of my friend coaxing me to throw up in a bowl. Apparently they were also drunk and high off their ass and left me in the bathroom. When they remembered to come get me, I was snoozing under the shower lmao.

I blacked out in Vegas before and i felt bad about it because my friends had to drag my ass and carry me around. It's not worth it to get that drunk especially if you are older.
Well I remember my ex wife, me and my brothers all drinking one night. The only thing I remember from that night is a vague image of me in the back seat of my car opening the door and throwing up in a parking lot. The next thing I remember is waking up the next morning not knowing what happened.
Blacking out is why I stopped getting drunk altogether. I remember waking up one day, back in my Army days, and started picking rice out of the vomit that was encrusted around my face. I washed my face, walked out of the latrine, saw my friend in the commons area, (it was his barracks room), and he could barely look at me, seemed ashamed. Then, a very short, very muscular infantryman came up to me, and told me that if I ever did any shit like that again, he'd throw me out the window himself. I was mortified and embarrassed. He was apparently the next door Barracks room resident, and apparently I had an altercation with him the previous night. My buddy then told me that he thought I should just leave, and he was pretty obviously ashamed of me. Been over ten years since then, (this was 2009), I'm still friends with the buddy whose barracks room I was in that night, and he still hasn't told me what I did, and I feel at this point that I don't really want to ever know; I already have enough shameful memories, don't need more reminders of what an idiot I am/was.
I still enjoy a drink now and again, but I refuse to get that shitty ever again. The shit can ruin your fucking life man. If you have more sense about you when you black out, then good on ya, but I just can't trust myself past that level.

I always thought I had a high tolerance for alcohol and always remembered everything, until I started dating a bartender and she filled me in on a few things.
You don't remember that you don't remember.

For the longest time, I used to think "black out" meant to pass out. I've ALWAYS been able to remember what happened when I was drunk. I've only drank to the point of vomiting (and that was just 2 or 3 times in college...and one time after that). If you're supposed to keep drinking past that point in order to black out then...no thanks.
That just means you're not drinking enough to black out. Not that that's a bad thing, but I'm pretty sure there's a line anyone can cross that causes them to blackout.
i can't get there either. I'll pass out or get sick before I get to the "don't remember anything" stage. I've even kept going after getting sick but eventually I just hit a "every drink makes me vomit" stage.
just drink crown royal until you pass out during your dota match, that worked for me
and then you can enjoy wanting to die for two days

Never happened to me either. I disagreed with some of the comments here suggesting you're not blackening out due to insufficient dosage. I once drank whiskey like crazy, and led me to puke it all out hours later. Massive nausea. My recollection of the events, however, remains intact and not once did I lose consciousness or began spewing nonsense.
If you've never blacked out, then you've never truly been tiddy much protally fitshaced.
Take it in stride, it means you have at least a bit of self control.
I've blacked out once (Lucky for me it hit after I had already gotten back home)
And I've browned out once (I realised that my memory was hazy and had gaps in it the following morning)
