Once in my entire life and I promised to my wife to never drink hard-alcohol again. I drank Baijiu, a white alcohol common in China. It was 78% pure(156 Proof) and I had intended only to take a sip. The Chinese men at the table I was toasting, though, insisted I drink the entire glass. Then another. Only time in my life I actually lived about 30-40 minutes of my life and completely forgot about it. Didn’t do anything horribly embarrassing, but my wife was mad. And good for her, honestly. I haven’t touched anything stronger than beer in years. Well, I’ve had about 1 glass of wine a year, but that’s no exaggeration. That Baijiu stuff, though. Avoid it like the plague. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/blacked-out-drunk-how-realistic/601518)._
