Leah: I have had similar experiences. I engaged in binge drinking about once a week for a period of months...would drink til I could not function at all, or passed out. I discovered this was due to my depression. I was on meds, but apparently they were not working properly. When I got the meds adjusted, my need to drink disappeared. Now I am once again in a situation where my meds have quit working, and I often feel a tremendous desire for oblivion. Thus far I have resisted, because I know this is not the solution and will only complicate the problem. I too never drove when I drank...but anytime you drink enough to lose control, there is a problem. My recommendation...talk to you pdoc about this. There are also medications which can cut down on the urge to drink. Good luck!
