In relation to my post from last week (back to old habits), I’ve been wondering if alcohol in general causes memory loss or if it’s related to the type of drink.
If i get really really drunk, invariably, i lose my memory and have no recollection of the night at all. However, if I’m drinking cider and black, i only need about 3 pints and i lose my memory, even though I’m not particularly drunk. If i drink lager, i lose my memory after about 6 pints, maybe less. If I drink vodka, i don’t seem to lose my memory so much, especially if I’m drinking it with red bull, i never lose my memory. After drinking a couple of pints of cider and black last night, and then switching to double vodka and diet coke, and having 3 or 4 of these, I was drunk, I did enjoy myself, I didn’t do anything stupid (although I nearly did), I went home at closing time (didn’t have to be reluctantly chucked out) and I remember everything.
I’ll have to put it to the test next time I go out on the weekend in a couple of weeks, all in the name of research, of course

It certainly looks like different drinks have different effects on you. I know it does for me. Not really about memory loss for me but just the way I behave whilst drunk.
I think the fact you are aware of this, you don’t want to get crazy drunk and not remember a thing, is half the battle.
