The getting so drunk he was in blackout part is bothering me. I've worked with a lot of alcoholics in recovery over the years. One thing that seems to be pretty common is that alcoholics develop a high tolerance level for alcohol. Generally, it takes a lot of alcohol to get an alcoholic drunk. I know a women fairly petite woman that needed to drink 12 beers to just feel a slight buzz and another that drank two bottles of wine and acted completely straight. A large bottle of vodka, no problem.
So if JC has a high tolerance level for alcohol from all his years of drinking, how did he get blackout drunk at a baseball game? I haven't been to a game in years, but in Yankee Stadium, they used to sell watered-down beers for like $5 a cup and that was way back in the 1990's. If they sell mixed drinks, I'm sure they would be even more expensive. It would probably take him at least 10 beers or drinks to get slightly drunk at the game, that would be $50 or more. I guess he could have smuggled in a bottle of his own, but I'm not sure if that is possible.
If they went to the game, then went to the bar after and made it back to her house by midnight, that would not give them much time at the bar for him to consume enough alcohol to get to a blackout state. I believe somebody posted that the game ended around 10:30 pm.
Any thoughts?
