Whenever I wake up after a night out drinking, I have these gaps in my memory. I dont remember certain parts of my night. I’ll wake up and look at my messages with people and I wont remember saying it. Or i’ll wake up with food I got from the night before but cant remember buying it.
Anyone experience this?
Yeah, I could never remember where I hid my beer.
But seriously, it doesn’t sound like a full blackout which would be worrisome. IDK, I don’t drink but I don’t remember a lot about yesterday, the day before yesterday or what happened last week.
Two things could be going on here. Either you’re just naturally forgetful like me or yes, alcohol makes you forgetful. It doesn’t seem like a huge problem, if it is due to alcohol than maybe you should quit drinking. I read 40 years ago that alcohol destroys brain cells.
Yeah I am forgetful even when im sober. I blame the multiple concussions i’ve had.
I was a blackout drinker. I would forget where I had left my car, or my wallet, or sometimes my clothes (really). I do not miss it.
Good on you for stopping. I don’t drink everyday but when I do drink, it’s a lot.
I had scaled back my drinking before I quit - only did it on days ending in Y.

I would black out when I used to drink sometimes.
I used to think black out drunk meant falling asleep. Now I know it means having severe memory loss when drunk.
Thanks for the reply. I hope you’re doing well.
I dont think ive had that issue but i havent drank a lot. In fact i remember the first time i got drunk in college and stumbling to the bathroom of my dorm was a challenge lol, and i remember one time throwing up red wine on my friends carpet. I felt i couldnt control my intake the few times i drank in college so i stopped because my mom is an alcoholic and i absolutely do not want to go there. Now ill have a drink or two every now and again
Sorry to hear that Moon.
You’re welcome @TheCanuk. It would happen when I drank a lot.
And thanks. I’m doing well. 
I’m glad to hear that! (:
Sometimes, I had blackouts when I drank. That’s not social drinking, is it?
