Auto-pilot meaning you and your car got home although there is no memory of driving home and you were in no condition to be walking let alone driving. Additionally, there is evidence that you drove your car and not someone else by the fact that you found your car the next morning parked half sideways with the door left open and a puddle of puke next to it.

I had driven home shitfaced more often than I like to admit in my younger years. As I had gained a tremendous tolerance to alcohol through many misspent nights, and weighed three hundred pounds in those days, and so was able to absorb beer much better, I was never in a state where I had no memory of driving home.
Today, my wife would murder me if I ever did anything that stupid again.
Then you weren't shitfaced enough to call it that.

That was just getting home, actually. I would have only vague memories of projectile vomiting the next day, when hard alcohol was involved (especially after drinking a "kelly's Kicker," which involves some sort of hard stuff mixed with fruit juice, and served in a beer pitcher!).

Alcohol affects people differently. I used to get shitfaced in college (puking, couldn't walk, couldn't speak in sentences) and I could still remember everything the next day. My sorority sisters used to come to me to find out what had happened the previous night.
I can drink enough beer and get plastered but not to the point of becoming amnesic. What caused that was after all the beer had been drunk (lots and lots of beer) we'd break out the hard stuff (Jack Daniels, Wild Turkey, etc..) and start drinking that straight as if it were sodapop. That's what wipes the slate clean for me as far as memory and it's probably just as well. I don't do that s**t any more since I want to save the only two brain cells I have left.
