question from a user
How bad is blacking out from booze… chronically. I haven’t found much in the way of research on this. There are studies on chronic alcoholism and the HPTA… but specifically blacking out… a lot.

I’m not sure they have any studies on frequent drinking to the point of blacking out. That would be nearly impossible to do ethically, and I don’t know how you would get a double blinded study in this case.
I think the only thing you can do in this case is extrapolate the findings in studies on chronic alcoholism, and just magnify them.
