Sometimes when I launch my car when I'm really drunk I get light headed. Sometimes I even pass out and wake up when im near the 1000' mark.

Are you trashed at the drag strip when this happens?

My money is on alchohol.

Low blood sugar will cause you to go in and out like that, so try to remember if you had eaten anything around then.
Wrong. Low blood sugar will not cause this.
I know this...
Low blood sugar will cause you to be light headed UNTILL you get it up from taking in more sugar.
Not to mention you will see dots and feel very odd.
You can feel really ansie or just plain drunk almost.
Low blood sugar is not cured untill you get more in you.
It will not cause in and out... it is all out.

Serious low blood sugar and you are IN TROUBLE.

If you are doing this ONLY when launching something else is going on... and I don't know what it is. But you should get it checked out nontheless.
Could be you are just intolerant to sudden forces. Could be something more serious. Get it checked bro.
Tell your doc about it just to be carefull.

One would think that but not everyone responds the same way... a couple weeks ago I had a hypoglycemic coma in someone with blood sugar 1 point below the normal range..it wasn't until 10 minutes passed that he dipped to 19 and we could identify the culprit...a little D50 took care of that though....
