[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 532769, member: 6705"] That's a good question, and I would surmise that it has more to do with the individual's brain & memory than the amount of alcohol they consumed and whether or not they are drunk. I know people that can have a small amount of alcohol - say 3 mixed drinks - with dinner and over the course of several hours - who have blank spots in their memories. (Hell, I know people who don't have to drink to have those blank spots.) I know others that can drink a pro linebacker under the table and remember every detail. When I'm drunk I tend to say things best left unsaid. One of the reasons I don't GET drunk. I do NOT like my own lack of control over my words and actions. But - only ONCE have I been so far gone I have blank spots in my memory. And I don't think that was the alcohol - I think it was the situation. The fact that she allows boyfriend to drink and drive is absolutely TERRIFYING. Her reason is even more so - NEITHER of them should drink and drive. That, to me, is the flag - and it's not just red, it's BLOOD RED. [/QUOTE]
