blackout drunk
Drinking past recall
Blackout drunk describes a state of intoxication so severe that the person cannot form new memories, though they may remain conscious and functional.
Someone blackout drunk might hold conversations, move around, even drive—with no recollection afterward: I was blackout drunk and have no idea how I got home.
The term emphasizes the memory gap rather than unconsciousness.
