Pffft, what a wife thing to say.

IMO it’s always ok to get blackout drunk, the amount of preparation and frequency of doing so changes.

In my 20s if I got blackout drunk 3 times in the same week it was a badge of honor. If I did it now it’s a problem.

In my 20s if I got blackout drunk and woke up in some random party house next to a chick with a nose ring and a neck tattoo it was a great story. If that happened now my wife would be annoyed.

On my 40th, I got hammered, passed out, got woken up, and resumed the partying. Would have been unthinkable not to

I feel like if there's not a health issue...LFG

Have you ever wondered who holds the world's record for most times blacking out after the age of 80?

Seems like we should the fine folks at Guiness World Records out to measure.

I voted 30. I could hear the argument for never and always since both are internally consistent, but I think generally speaking, someone should have their shit mostly together by the time they're 30. Past that and it's just sad, hard to watch.

I’ve never actually been black out drunk before. Even when I got hammered I could remember everything

Stopped drinking around age 22 or so though

If we're talking truly blackout drunk with no recollection of anything, probably not more than a couple times per year after 25. Have some friends that still do it frequently and it's concerning.
