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.
