    Doesn't do that to me...

    For the record. I've tinkered with the benzo/alcohol cocktail, stupid I know, but it doesn't seem to have this dramatic effect on me. Guess what, alcohol alone, and in sufficient quantities sure does. Maybe Ambien lowers the threshold for some people, but it's not like waking up with no memory of outlandish and inapproriate behavior is a new phenomenon.
