Rice Purity Test question 48 of 100 · Alcohol & drugs

“Had severe memory loss due to alcohol?”

A blackout: hours that are gone rather than blurred. It is the most serious of the alcohol items and it closes that side of the run before the drug questions begin. Item 48 of 100, and the 5th of the 9 questions in the drink-and-drugs ladder (44–52). It is one of 7 alcohol & drugs items, and it is worth one point: tick this box and nothing else and the score reads 99.

Checking it costs one point, and how often other people tick it appears here once 30 of them have opted in to share their answers.

Where it sits on the sheet

The classic list is not one straight escalation: it opens with romance, works through sexual experience to question 43, breaks off for drink, school and the police, then comes back at 67 for thirty-four variations on intercourse. Inside each of those runs the neighbouring questions are the best guide to what this one is being measured against.
