Passed out drunk. Blackout drunk is when you do not remember anything. You could have not remembered watching tv the entire night or shooting people. Passed out is when you are in a sleep like state. You are passed out somewhere - a couch, bed, floor, street, etc.

That does not mean it excuses his actions in any way, but a lot of folks do not realize this. I have had to explain it over the years.
