Extreme sudden memory loss when i'm pissed, why does this happen?

Question

Very occasionally when I'm drunk I sort of blank out, and i suddenly have no memory of the night from that point onwards, apparently I can still walk around, take off my shoes, pick up random leaflets and a few other things, but i'm told that I can't say anything comprehensible, and I don't really know where i'm going unless i'm following other people, ( I once ended up walking 5 miles and collapsing in a field instead of walking about 400 meters to my home.) So why does this randomly happen to me? I don't think it's because of how much I drink because when this happens to me I haven't always had anymore to drink than I usually would. Any ideas on how to avoid this?, other than stop drinking all together.

Answer 1

thats alcohol for you

drink responsibly

Answer 2

Alcohol has an enormous effect on ones brain, it differs from person to person. If it is affecting you to this extent then you may have to seriously consider cutting right don or giving up entirely.

I love a drink but cant understand those who cant seem to have a good night out without getting plastered.

Answer 3

Don't just stop drinking but do slow down and when out start feeling tipsy get something to eat or have a soft drink. Also don't go out on your own incase it happens and you end up walking another 5 miles in the dark on your own

Answer 4

that happens to me if i have too much whiskey, and once at a kegger. it depends on what kinda booze your drinking and how much of it you drink. mixing two kinds of hard liquor does that to me

Answer 5
