Essentially all cognitive functions are impaired in a dose-dependent fashion. Alcohol is a CNS depressant after all. Where this gets confusing is that some cognitive functions, like social interaction, appear to be enhanced in some cases. What is happening here is that the normal suppression of certain behaviors may itself be suppressed by alcohol. So, for example, some people will respond to low doses with feelings of enhanced self confidence and report that social interaction is easier. While this may be true for some (not all studies find evidence of this), all the while - all those abilities that are easily taken for granted like thinking creatively or remembering details are gradually and dose-dendentently impaired. It's basically a catch-22 situation.
