Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In my opinion, he needs a complete assessment of memory functions as essential thyroid functions serum B12 levels and blood sugar levels are important to know that what substances/drugs one is using.
In his case, using alcohol, B complex preparations would be useful. Cognitive testing and cognitive rehabilitation are useful brain stimulation exercises.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
