Blackouts refer to partial or complete memory loss of events that occur while individuals are drinking. These individuals maintain consciousness during the event and may even be able to engage in complex behaviors such as conversing or driving. This study examined young adults' perceptions of complete memory loss ("en bloc") blackouts, and off-and-on memory loss (fragmentary) blackouts.
