The exact mechanisms for the memory losses associated with alcohol are in dispute, and even the long term effects.
Alcohol in absobed by the stomich wall, and more later in the small intestine. From there the blood stream takes it all over, and since cell walls are very permiable to ethonol it gets into everything.
In the brain it interferes with synaptic firing, that is to say it's like you make a phone call but the cord is cut between cells. This is responsible for the memory losses during use. However, several studies have been done to show that long term or heavy use can cause lasting memory degradation. Links below.
Over time the liver creates an enzyme which turns the liver into an acid, and another to turn that acid into fat. These enzymes in addition to the acid biproducts from the chemical breakdown cause hangovers.
So, in short, drinks affect your memory long term because they impair nerve cells in your brain from firing, although we are not completely certen as to why. Long term use also seems, based on several studies, to cause memory problems long term due to cell deaths in the brain.
The main thing to remember about alcohol is that it is fun, but technically, chemically speaking, it is a poison. If it was first discovered today, the Food and Drug Adminstration would label it as in industrial toxin, not to be consumed.

Alcohol interferes with the way the neurons in your brain connect and work with one another....when that is impeded, things like memory loss happen.

No, it's not just yours! I hate it when the day after the night before, you start remembering little things as the day goes on. I am usually cringing, hiding in a cupboard by 8pm.

Should I stop know or will I be OK for a while longer!!!

Yeah I`m afraid it does. It kills of brain cells that don`t regenerate so we lose memory bit by bit....
