Cocaine Addiction

Question: Blackout drunk + cocaine = addiction?

This is all hypothetical, but it's a question I've been pondering for awhile. Say someone gets blackout drunk, to the point of no memory, and does cocaine 5- 10 times whilst blacked out. This person has never done cocaine before. Without any knowledge the next day of doing the cocaine, is it really possible to be physically addicted? I understand the chemical addiction in the brain, but how would the user know? Would he sit there and all of a sudden feel like doing a drug he's never done before, or would it just be a strange withdraw feeling? Purely hypothetical, but nonetheless a bit interesting.

Physical addiction plays a big part in it, maybe the body would crave it, but memory is a strong part of it too, hard to say.

I think they would be hypothetically dead.....Sounds like a lot of cocaine, but idk, I never did it.

Hmmm. Coke is a mainly mental addiction because it makes you feel so happy. So that is a good question. I would think that whether you recall - actively have a memory that is - being in that state your brain chemistry still changed for awhile. So ... mabye you would feel off? I don't know. i do know that I have a friend who hasn't used coke in like 8 years and still whines about how happy she was the few times she used.
