What Causes Poor Memory After Drinking Alcohol?

Occasionally after drinking alcohol I will get up out of bed usually within an hour of falling asleep and behave in an aggressive and angry manner. I won't recognise my partner and am always irrational and distressed. In the morning I have no memory of the event. I am female 47 years old.

1. Alcohol is generally a nervous system depressent and taking/consuming alcohol will have its effect on brain in form of:
. Korsakoffs Psychosis
. Wernicke's Encephalopathy.

2. fMRIs of alcohol-dependent women displayed significantly less blood oxygen in the frontal and parietal regions, especially in the right hemisphere

PS. check yourself with a Neurosurgeon and with relevant examinations for further line of management and treatment.

3. alcoholic women develop cirrhosis, alcohol–induced damage of the heart muscle (i.e., cardiomyopathy), and nerve damage (i.e., peripheral neuropathy) after fewer years of heavy drinking than do alcoholic men.
