We ask a lot of our brains. We expect them to keep us alive and alert with little to no maintenance. Even on little sleep and a steady diet of Twinkies, the brain will regulate the body's systems, calculate trigonometric equations, and remind you to call your mother on her birthday. We can't say as much for a car, a computer, or even the rest of the body, which needs to be cleaned and clothed and taken out for a walk. Yet without so much as an oil change, a healthy brain ably carries out its countless, complex functions. One of the few ways we can flummox the thing is to saturate the blood with alcohol. First there is the speech slurring and vision blurring, then the compromised decision-making and loss of balance. Eventually, consuming too much alcohol craters the brain's memory. A regular drinker can develop a tolerance to the other effects, but not to memory loss.

For about four of every five people who report an alcohol-induced blackout, the memory loss is fragmentary. The remaining 20 percent of people experience a comprehensive "en bloc" blackout. En bloc blackouts are most common when the blood alcohol concentration is rapidly escalated, as from guzzling beer or doing shots (especially on an empty stomach), and the memory loss is complete after a specific point in time.

Long-term heavy drinking damages the liver, nervous system, heart, and brain. It also can lead to high blood pressure, stomach problems, medicine interactions, sexual problems, osteoporosis, and cancer. Alcohol abuse can also lead to violence, accidents, social isolation, jail or prison time, and difficulties at work and home. announcement: Okay stop re wording it so your answer will work and stop flagging for no real reason
