What Is a Blackout? People faint when there’s too little blood flow to the brain. When a person says he’s blacked out, he could mean one of several things. He might have lost consciousness for a short time. If so, he could also say he passed out or fainted. Another possibility is he might have stayed awake, continued talking, moving, or even driving but then later not remember what he’d done. People who’ve had the second kind of blackout may remember bits and pieces of the blackout period.
