Why alcohol erase memories
Scientists from the Medical School at Washington University in St. Louis explain the mechanism by which alcohol acts, and in particular what happens to the brain when a person can not remember events from a certain period - so-called "white spots".
The study sheds some light on the surreal period when our body can dance all night, have conversations, even to blow karaoke stage and finally managed to get to bed, but then we can not remember anything.
Alcohol seriously affects the brain, except that reduces inhibitions and opens hunger for pizza with mayonnaise sauce. The research shows that large amounts of alcohol interfere in the work of key receptors in the hippocampus, the main memory center. At the same time alcohol is removed and steroid that inhibits the way the brain strengthens synapses - connections between brain kletki.Vsashtnost, scientists say, large doses of alcohol does not kill brain cells but rather individual ingredients that prevent the brain to form memories. "That may explain why high levels of intoxication people do not remember what they did the night before," said Dr. Charles F. Zorumski, a professor at Washington University.
The fact that alcohol kills brain cells is not an argument in favor of mindless drinking - even if they lose cognitive abilities, negative effects on the body far outweigh morning headache.

Alcohol like everything is good in moderation. For hundreds of years alcohol has been used during surgery and amputations to lessen the pain of the process. While overdosing leads to damage of major bodily organs.
Yes the key word here is moderation. Moderate alcohol consumption is likely to have beneficial effects on most people.
Man, certainly nothing more terrible than a "white spot". I had some and it's amazing what you feel when other people tell you the things you have done and don't remember at all ... it's like a body without soul.
