My story
Plain and simple...I think this book just may have saved my life. I'm now very conservative when consuming alcohol. I discovered this book after googling "alcohol blackout". I had been experiencing loss of memory when drinking in social settings. Found this book and now realize I suffer greatly from this. It has scared me so bad that I either don't drink anymore or will stop at one drink. I've even discovered there were times my boyfriend has suffered from them as well. Blackouts are really more common than most people think. Even more so most don't even know they exist.
