Alcohol can affect the memory and can also cause brain damage if you drink that much on the one night you will experience the loss of some of what happened on the night you where drinking test your short term memory daily and cut down on your alcohol in take as this is classed as binge drinking Im not saying dont relax and enjoy yourself drink in moderation you dont need to get out your face to enjoy a night out ask at your doctors for a booklet on the affects of alcohol to the brain once you have read it you will think twice about your alcohol in take good luck

Sometimes, after a heavy drinking session, a drinker may lose all memory of events or behaviour which occurred when they were drunk. (It is fairly common to hear drinkers say that they can't remember how they got home last night). However, just because they don't remember afterwards, this doesn't mean that they were unconscious at the time. At the time they were drinking they knew what they were doing (after all, they did manage to get home!) Loss of short -term memory is associated with the destruction of vitamin B in the body by alcohol. Vitamin B is essential to the brain's proper functioning. Of course, some drinkers pretend they have lost all memory of the previous night's events because they are ashamed of what they did.

Alcohol definately causes short term memory loss. Cut back on your drinking and see if it gets better.

The memory loss and alcohol may be related, easy test quit the booze for a week or three. Bad news is I seriously doubt it.
I believe you need to see your doctor.

Possibly - but is your memory bad enough to give up your fun?!
Perhaps try and drink a little less with water in between alcoholic drinks,

lengthy-time period or short-time period reminiscence loss? in case you drink too a lot one evening, you may lose all recollection of it the subsequent day, even though it gained't reason lengthy-time period reminiscence loss. Marijuana, on the different hand, gradually impacts reminiscence loss, in which you mustn't "blackout" even though it impairs your reminiscence frequently, in case you seize my waft. i do not learn about ecstasy, by no ability tried it, by no ability plan to.
