Some people experience blackouts after consuming too much alcohol. There are two forms of alcohol blackout. In en bloc blackout, the person experiences amnesia covering the entire period of intoxication. In fragmentary blackout the person experiences partial amnesia of that period. En bloc blackout is unusual.

Blackouts should not be confused with passing out, a phenomenon in which people lose consciousness.
