Blackouts are scary and dangerous. If you were having a seizure, vomiting and out of, I'd tend to believe the blood work.

And sorry to sound like a nag, but what you describe drinking actually is rather a lot, it's well over the safe drinking guidelines mental health / addictions org's put out as a guideline, and qualifies as binge drinking.

It sounds like you had a bad scare, that could have been potentially deadly. Might be worth reconsidering how much you're drinking and definitely rethink mixing alcohol and meds.

i thought i had a blackout and drank more but i talked to the bartender and she remembered exactly what she served me. i know thats allot of alcohol but that probably wouldnt bring me any higher than.20 if even that hi. the meds must have something to do with it. either that or my livers not functioning properly. im gonna have to see my doc im kinda scared to tell him what happened. the xanax are keeping me from completely freaking out and having panic attacks. wich ive never had before. this anxiety is all new to me. im generally a very laid back relaxed person,slight social anxiety in large crowds but thats it. now im a wreck .
