Summary
If like Hamish and Vic you've ever got three sheets to the wind, blackout wasted and wondered why one minute you’re in a London bar ordering tequila shots, and the next your waking up in a bunk bed in run down motel in Madrid with twigs in your hair, wearing one shoe, then we hope this episode will make you think twice about over drinking.
So what is really happening in your brain after accepting one too many Sambuka shots? One minute you're having the best night of your life and the next you're waking up wearing a feather boa having lost your keys, wallet and dignity. Today Vic and Hamish discuss the blackout. Why does it happen? How does it feel and are you really having fun when you can't remember anything?
Join them as they learn how to feel the awkward and do it anyway!
