(#1) Something Called "Transient Amnesia"
When you drink so much that you black out, the alcohol blocks your brain from forming memories. So you're still walking around and doing stuff, but you won't be able to remember any of it. -
(#14) If You Didn't Already Have an Ulcer, You Do Now
If you're experiencing multiple alcohol-related black outs, then there's a good chance that your stomach is releasing excessive amounts of stomach acid which causes inflammation, leading to an ulcer. The ulcer can do anything from fill your stomach with blood to burn a hole in your stomach lining. -
(#16) You Lose Your Mind
Literally! To put it as non-scientifically as possible, you keep doing stuff even though the receptors in your brain that help you make decisions have shut down. That's probably why you made the decision to take a $200 Uber ride home. -
(#2) The Emotions Come On Strong
Here's a quick science lesson: When you drink alcohol (a depressant), a tiny portion of it seeps into your brain from your bloodstream and covers your cerebral cortex (which is responsible for processing sensory information and thoughts), disrupting the normal flow of neurotransmitters.
The more you drink, the more your emotions begin to come out, so if you're sad, you get SUPER SAD; and if you're angry, you turn into a homicidal maniac.

(#10) You Might Go on a Shopping Spree
The best version of the worst-case scenario that is getting black-out drunk involves you spending way too much money on a plane ticket to Rio and having a great time like this guy from Scotland. Do you think he would have gone on the trip if he'd accidentally bought a ticket to Iowa? -
(#18) Your Hippocampus Shuts Down
The hippocampus is the emotional center of your brain, and when you fill it with booze, it completely shuts down. This can have varied effects ranging from memory loss to a loss of motor functions.

About This Tool
Blackout does not mean that a person will lose consciousness, on the contrary, people can continue to interact with others and do things as routine or have potentially dangerous behaviors, such as driving, having sex, spending too much money, and even continuing to drink alcohol. People who black out are more likely to be injured. Even if they know how to go home or have other normal behaviors, they cannot remember these actions because their brains will not transfer these experiences to memory.
Blackouts often involve memory loss caused by drinking alcohol or drug abuse. The random tool lists 18 things that will happen when you black out, excessive drinking is slowly killing you.
