>consumed an equivalent of 10 energy drinks+10 shots of hard liquor

a jagerbomb is not typically an entire energy drink. it's typically 3oz/90ml of energy drink. 10 jagerbombs would be ~3 redbulls. (which is still obviously a lot of energy drink and alcohol in a short time)

Red Bulls are a pretty pedestrian caffeine content by today’s standards, 80mg/can. Other brands are usually 150-200 mg.

Fair point, but yeah, it is still quite a crazy amount, esp in terms of alcohol, even for someone like me. And I am saying this as someone with very strong alcohol tolerance, not as a (likely) smaller 18 year old woman with way less tolerance.

I had 10 Jaeger bombs one time and I woke up in Belgium.

Did you have those jagerbombs in Belgium to begin with or while on the way to Belgium?

I had them at the Giraffe in Leuven.

So I was already in Belgium.

I expected to take the train back home at 9. Instead I regained consciousness at five in the morning. Except I was already fully awake, when I "woke up", walking back to town. My body was just on autopilot. For 9 hours straight.

I found that very peculiar, and subsequently moderated my alcohol intake.

A friendly stranger sent my wallet back a few days later.
