I only have one Blackout story that's worth telling (and since it'll put off some paperwork for a bit i'll tell it now).
I was fortunate enough to wind up in Cuba for my 20th birthday way back, one of those all inclusive packages. Booze, accomodation, food and flights. Great little bundle.
I was studying in North America at the time and became friends with the other internationals. Two english lads, an aussie who lived down the road from me whom I had never met untill I went abroad, a german girl and a english girl.
I'm first to admit i'm not the hardest drinker going around, i'm usually more than happy to sink a six-pack and crawl into bed drunk but with no chance of a hang over. But this place had free drinks.
Rum, beer and vodka was the selction. All home brand quality stuff but it did the job. Did I mention it was free? For the first few days at the resort we were pretty tame, we had planned for my birthday to be the big night. We befriended a lovely canadian couple. The bloke was a trucker, big as a house and as nice as they come. Hardcore though, told us stories of having to run hi-jackers down in mexico on runs. While they may have just been stories it's still something to hear.
Anyway this trucker convinces us to get a head start on my birthday so the day before my birth memorial the gang buys me some cuban cigars from a bartender (turned out they were banana leaves) but being dumb kids we didn't know any better and sucked them down saying how much better they were than normal cigars.
We're drinking at a steady pace the entire day lounging in the pool waiting for it to get dark so we can start some shenanigans. It hits about 7pm and I've had a lot of drinks. (They were free). I've had a crack at two french girls with mixed results and the day is going great. The trucker calls me and the group over and says he's organised a gift. His 'gift' was 20 shots of rum. (They were free but that's besides the point) With the encouragement of my friends, the trucker and about 30 strangers I start to plow through them.
I remember doing six.
The details that follow are the result of an investigation that would put Poirot to shame. The english girl was a teetotaller so she was a handy little supervisor/ record keeper.
It seems that after I blacked out I continued on into the 20 shots reaching around 16 before the trucker realised I was on a different planet and switched the last couple for water.
I'm told I then went onto...
Munch on the ponytail of said truckers wife, claiming it to be 'fairy floss'.
Engage in a very public display of 'affection' with one of the French girls I had chatted to early on. On a beach chair. In a display pond.
Offer to buy strangers free drinks.
Smoke a blunt with a local on the beach (a lifetime jail sentence if caught there)
Scream at the DJ asking him to play Rage against the machine. When he then put on Ricky Martin I apparently said "this is their best track" and danced like a madman.
Start 'Aussie chat' with my equally drunk neighbour. Which consisted of incoherant mumblings about Vegemite and Tony Locket.
And so on and so forth.
I was then carried into my room at about 4am by the english lads, cleaned up and when they tried to convince me to have a 'tactical' I responded by trying to put my finger down my throat. Poking myself in the eye. Only to then ask them to do it.
I woke up around 7am. Feeling amazing.
No headache, bad stomach, nothing. Just hungry. I was amazed and went out to the food hall to meet up with my cohorts to brag about my miracle.
I find out i've been asleep for an entire day, I'm told I woke up only once on my birthday and much to the bemusement of my unlucky roomate asked him where the toilet was, went in and destroyed the place only to crawl back into bed.
And that is the story of how I missed my birthday in Cuba.
Also I think it's important that people know the drinks were free.
