The only surefire way not to black out is just to not drink period.
Ever woken up with no memory of the night before? You're not alone. In this eye-opening episode of 'The Sober Gay', hosts Dillan and Aubrey dive deep into the unsettling phenomenon of blackouts. They break down what happens in the brain when you blackout, focusing on the hippocampus, the part responsible for turning short-term memories into long-term ones. When alcohol interferes, your brain can't make those connections, leaving you with a blank slate where memories should be.
Dillan shares his own harrowing experiences with blackouts, revealing how he used to justify them until he realized that sobriety was the only way to avoid these dangerous lapses. The duo also discuss the varying consequences of blackouts, from harmless to downright disastrous, and why blacking out alone can be especially perilous. This episode isn't just about the science; it's about real stories and the journey towards acceptance and sobriety.
Tune in for an informative yet heartfelt discussion that sheds light on a topic often cloaked in shame and stigma.
