Q. How does alcohol affect your Judgement?
Higher doses. As the dose of alcohol increases, so does the impact on the brain. Functioning of the pre-frontal cortex becomes further impaired such that people’s behaviour becomes even more uninhibited and judgement further impaired.
Q. Does alcohol affect memory?
Whether it’s over one night or several years, heavy alcohol use can lead to lapses in memory. This may include difficulty recalling recent events or even an entire night. It can also lead to permanent memory loss, described as dementia. Doctors have identified several ways alcohol affects the brain and memory.
Q. Why do I forget everything when I drink alcohol?
According to the NIAAA, alcohol interferes with the brain’s development of new memories. This means people who drink heavily are more likely to forget anything that happened during the time they were drinking but will remember events before it. This is known as an alcohol-induced blackout.
Q. Is memory loss from alcohol reversible?
If the symptoms of memory loss due to alcohol abuse are recognized early enough, it is possible to reverse the effects. Lost memories will never return, but the ability to form new memories can be restored.
