Best Answer

This portion is related to memory, sexual and emotional behavior. When this portion of the brain gets affected with alcohol, the individual's emotions are exaggerated. The behavior can range from boisterousness, verbal aggression, and violent behavior to quiet withdrawal and tearfulness. Sometimes there can be memory lapses of events which occurred during drinking.
