The worst thing that happened to me was that I passed out (or tripped and laid there or both. I can't remember to this day) in front of a residence hall in college and was taken back to my dorm by (what I assume was) campus security. It could have been a good samaritan for all I know, but I did wake up in my bed with some of my sheet covered in vomit and a text from a friend who didn't have my new number in his phone (and subsequently was in his phone address book as 'Drunk').

Nothing like a good rage blackout to make you realize the drunk ones aren't so bad.

It appears to be physically impossible for me to have a hangover, let alone blackout. Anytime I've drank enough to reach hangover status (somewhere around 24 beers or 15 hard liquor drinks when I was in college, and ... less now), I puke, feel fine 20 minutes later, and continue on.
