Blackouts are related to the quantity of alcohol consumed...A blackout is not associated with normal or healthy alcohol use.It is a chemically induced period of amnesia that can last for seconds, minutes, hours, and/or days.Blacking out involves the inability to transfer short term memory into long term memory.Blackouts occur with gulping drinks/doing shots, extended drinking over long periods of time(e.g, day drinking), fatigue, not eating, and increased age.Being in a blackout increases the likelihood for other high-risk behaviors, such as unwanted sexual experiences, drinking and driving, alcohol poisoning, etc.Are common among alcohol abusers and can be a warning sign that alcohol related problems exist. Frequent black outs considered an early high risk indicator of alcoholism. For More Information please contact the Wellness Center or

Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS), check the Wellness Center website for more information about alcohol.

“Blacking Out” is not the same thing as “passing out.”Passing out involves a loss of consciousness. You are still conscious when you “blackout”.but memories aren’t formed.During a blackout you are awake and functioning,but later you can't remember what you did.

• Your partner respects you & your individuality• Both partners feel safe being open and honest.• Support each other’s choices even if you disagree• You both have equal say & respected boundaries.• Understands that you both need time for studying.• Can communicate feelings without fear of negative consquences.• Neither partner is excessively jealous.• Partners do not make each other feel guilty when you spend time with family and friends.• A good partner compliments you, encourages you to achieve your goals and does not resent your accom- plishments.
