When withdrawling from alcohol can you have memory lapse?

Answer 1

Alcohol is often tied-in with memory lapses. People often take a big nap after a drinking bout and when they come out of it they are ( Clear as a Bell) in the present tense, but cannot recall what happened- which could be a serious accident or crime, when they were under the influence. Alcoholics can also be more prone to forms of senility involving memory lapses, or alternatively, will become obsessed with short-term trivia ( What"s Today"s Date?) Mother used to pull that all the time often when it had not application, like on Grocery lists!
