For as long as I can remember, which isn’t that long, I’ve always had trouble remembering things after a night out on the town…

And now I know why…

“A study in 1999 that examined the brains of alcoholics appeared to confirm this. Published in the journal Neuroscience, the research found that subjects who developed Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, a severe disorder that ravages the memory and stems from a thiamine deficiency associated with alcoholism, had a marked reduction in cell density in the cerebellum.”

They should put warnings on alcohol saying “Warning: Drinking can cause memory loss, vomiting, and make you act like a muppet!”

Well last night was entertaining, starting in our usual meeting place, drinking copious amounts of alcohol and ending up with me, in quite a drunk state, dancing to every random song on the dance floor in Hobbits! Obviously I can’t remember much but it did seem to go quite quickly which is normally a sign that I’ve enjoyed myself. ( ssh! )

It did go downhill a bit after the club. Involving a friends fist, a wall and lots of blood, but then picked up again, with a long drunken stagger home and lots of random ramblings! Sadly, even though I obviously don’t remember them, I’m sure someone does!

Question: Can anyone remember how I bruised my arm?!

*LATE NEWS*

Here we go again…. doh!
