I know the effect from my former me and many of you might have experienced it, too. When drinking a lot of alcohol one tends to forget minutes to hours of what happened. Why does this happen? Are the cells storing the info dying? Is there a problem with passing the info down to the cells that store them? Are we just tired late at night and this is the reason why we cannot remember? Please help me to understand.

I don’t know the details, but you don’t actually forget, your brain didn’t save memories to begging with! After certain percentage of alcohol in your blood, the mechanisms for making long term memory just don’t work any more.
Now the scary thing is that the same percentage of blood alcohol influences people differently, depending on your alcohol resistance.
One person could be a wet rag that can’t stand up and can’t create a coherent sentence.
Another person could be visibly drunk, but perfectly capable of holding a conversation and doing physical tasks.
Both wont remember half the night
