Kevin Price drove the wrong way on the Garden State Parkway which led to the death of five people in a head-on collision. Michael Newbury awoke with a bloody hammer in his hand, the mutilated body of his girlfriend nearby. Paul Cox allegedly entered a Larchmont, NY, home where he formerly lived and stabbed a sleeping couple to death.

What happens when people blackout? Alcohol blocks memory formation, suddenly all at once and without warning.

Awareness of where they are and what they are doing lasts only seconds. Self-control and decision-making disappear, along with hard-learned inhibitions. Dangers go unrecognized. Thoughts and actions are entirely impulsive.

People in a blackout are in great peril. And no one realizes it. They risk harming themselves and others. Nothing less than death and ruined lives may be at stake. Blackouts are not harmless fun.
