Got it. Used to happen to me growing up..nothing serious...the falling and temporarily lose of consciousness happen to me twice i think 2 or 3 yrs ago...all the time...i had been drinking in my couch later at night..and gone for a pee.

google orthostatic hypotension.

Yes it can happen to anyone anytime, but as long as you are aware you can minimize injury. Warning signs are you may feel dizzy when getting up. People who exercise a lot and dont drink as much fluids are also prone. Solution is to drink drink drink, lots of fluids like water and if you exercise alot, something like gatorade.

Pundit
You need to bring your BP up, otherwise you may end up hurting yourself or others. Orthostatic hypo-tension mainly happens in older people, like >85, due to weakening heart muscle and taking meds. Please seek medical advice.
Drinking more water and increasing salt intake may solve the problem, but do it under medical supervision. Alcohol slows down the sympathetic system, so a slowdown in heart rate and the resulting BP.

I was partly right, skeptical of a bathroom accident. What causes this killer?
