Make sure you don't go drinking on an empty stomach. Having food in your stomach will delay the absorption of alcohol, meaning it's much harder to get smashed. Make sure it's something you won't digest quickly like rice. The one drink/one water thing will help too.
Also I'm pretty sure Jay was implying the questionable morality of accepting drinks from men trying to sleep with you when they never had a chance due to your orientation and less about the roofie issue. Honestly, I get why it bothers some guys but it's a sword that cuts both ways and the bar scene is fucking awful anyway.
1: I rarely eat as late at night as I drink, for alot of reasons. Don't think I'll be trying that route.
2: I rarely let anyone buy me a drink, when they offer, I will go to the bar and get the drink from the bartender as I stated before, as for letting guy's buy me a drink by leading them on? Nope. If I'm not already very blatantly "there" with someone already, I'll straight turn down the offer.
curiously, at the infamous blackout party, you did make your own drinks that caused you to black out, right?
That's just it, I don't recall the party at all. All I really remember is heading out for the night with CBC to the clubs we were going to visit for the Costume contests then waking up in her friend's bed. It's obvious at some point we went to her friend's house, possibly for a party but even at places like that I make my own drinks (and most everyonelse's, my reptuation as a bartender for many years usually gets me that position)
Pretty much what Mr. Ashburner said... without the fact that it bothers me. More of an "observation question" if that term exists than anything else.
Yeah, like I said, I've never led a guy on for free drinks just to be like "lolidonteatdicklol" at the end of the night. Do I let rowdy guys buy us (myself, my partner and any other girls we might be out with) because they've been watching us dance/fondle/makeout all night? Yep. They know what type of person they're buying for at that point (with the exceptions that think that buying me a drink will make me at least go BI for them lol) so I don't feel the least bit guilty. I will make it clear though, I don't put on "shows" for drinks. "Hey if you two make out I'll buy you a round hyukhyuk!". No.
I've tried to reply this this several times but it either comes out as a very long personal story, or just stuff that I don't know will make any impact whatsoever.
So I'll try to keep it short: blacking out = BAD!
Seriously. Do something the fuck about it!
This IS me doing something about it. Reaching out for advice when I know there's a problem.

Have I ever had experience with any of this?
- Yes. It's also scary as fuck to have no recollection of what you may have done the night before.
What did I do about it to fix it?
- I got a divorce. That fixed most of my problems.
Not really able to apply that to myself. I have personal reasons for why I may drink so much, but not exactly something I'm ready to confront yet.

I still drink, though I quit for a long time. I was practically straight-edge during that time. Now I drink true socially. For me that means I drink about 2-3 times a month, and about 1-2 drinks during those times. It's almost purely for the taste. Putting me on anything that lowers my inhibitions is a bad, BAD idea if I'm not in very trusted company.
Well I thought I was in trusted company till this happened. I'm still trying to piece together the exact details and noone that I would trust seems to have a clue and are chaulking it up to "You had too much".
