Long-term drinking of moderate to large quantities of alcohol can cause liver damage. Heavy drinking can cause serious nervous and mental disorders, including permanent brain damage(the answer to your question). Ulcers, gastritis, pancreatitis, diabetes, high blood pressure, malnutrition and some cancers are also more common among chronic heavy drinkers than among the general population. Heavier users may also experience periods of amnesia called blackouts. During these periods, the person functions, but later cannot remember what he or she has done during this time.
You are only born with a finite number of brain cells. Blackouts are the bodies way of telling you that the alcohol is now killing these cells.
Don't drink!

Umm- everything from aids (unprotected drunken sex), death while driving, horrible social diseases, possible skull fracture from falling, embarrassment for behavior, fear of what MAY have happened (people have MURDERED during blackouts!).
But most probably, a slow painful death from cirrhosis of your liver. Get help NOW.

Yes, at the liver and the mind. They did not lie after they mentioned alcohol kills mind cells. Alcohol is a poison to the frame, and your frame reacts to it like poison... that is why you get under the influence of alcohol.
