re: What's a normal amount of nights per year to get blackout drunk?

In other words, when you willingly wipe your memory of an entire night, you will be at the mercy of others. shite, they could pin a murder on you and you'd have no defense.

Nevermind that whole burden of proof thingy.

ZERO.

you sound like someone who struggles to have fun

I don't think any reasonable conception of "normal" applies to the question. It's just something that people do or don't do for a variety of reasons and in various circumstances.

The most you can do is try to break things down situationally. Maybe it is statistically more likely that someone in their 20s will drink to the point of blacking out than it is for people in their 50s. But even if you drill down and determine it is more likely for early 20s /college aged students to do so, and even more likely for those in fraternities to do so, it doesn't mean someone in a fraternity who doesn't drink to the point of blacking out isn't normal, even if they're way more likely to do so than another demographic.

I love a good night of fun but have no patience for a blackout drunk these days.

Something to do with the hypothalamus.

Sorry I just looked it up. It is the hippocampus, not the hypothalamus.

I honestly couldn't tell you the difference. I just know that there is part of the brain that determines whether you blackout or not.

Sure

at least 12
