Althalus Posted April 15, 2003 #1 Share Posted April 15, 2003 Partial memory blackouts after drinking binges could contribute to future alcoholism, say researchers, because drinkers may fill in the blanks with rosy memories. Experiments involving moderate alcohol intake showed that drinkers who had previously suffered partial memory loss had poorer memories than drinkers who had not.

Bizarro Posted April 16, 2003 #4 Share Posted April 16, 2003 what an idiotic study. they pay people for this kind of thing? i can tell you that ive never suffered from 'rosy memories' when i had an alcohol induced blackout session... rather ive awoken in puddles of my own vomit on the bathroom floor and thought, "OMG, what a loser i am". also, i shouldnt even go into the 'sexually attractive' delusions because i think ive already told the story of falling into the floor face first while i was trying to mack on a chick drunk. absolute humiliation. alcohol induced blackouts? that's why ive learned NOT to drink.
