Didn't the Tea Bagger guy say he does not remember doing what he did because he was drinking?


No. From the ESPN article.

""So dude," one of the friends said. They'd reached the other side of Lake Pontchartrain. Downing was driving. "Do you remember anything about Krystal?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Downing said. His friends told him. It took some convincing. Soon, though, the wheels started turning. It came back to him, dimly. A random LSU fan. Some hazy memory that he, Brian Downing, had for God knows what reason presented his ball sack to the faceless many. A jumbled-up din of laughter and cheers and chants of "Roll Tide."

This is bad, he thought."

Wrong Board. This is a board to discuss tiger sports, not your inability to comprehend what getting black out is. Alcohol affects people differently, just because you could rip tequilla shots and stay in control doesn't mean everyone else can.

I listed it here to get the opinion of Tiger Fans who drink often.

I just can't believe after watching the video that the guy could not remember what he was doing. He was not falling over drunk. He was high on alcohol and enjoying what he was doing. He was very aware of his surroundings. But when someone says they can't remember because they were drunk I don't get that. I think people say it and can remember fine. I'm not talking about the drunks who lose control.

Wasn't trying to be a dick, law school exams have me a bit edgy. But I reiterate my statement, alcohol affects different people differently. Because he looks in control doesn't mean he actually is.

Having said that, I don't necessarily believe he was completely blacked out. But he certainly could have been.
