Most experts agree that drinking moderation is perfectly fine, and while that may look different depending on the individual, in general, consuming more than four alcoholic drinks per day for men and three alcoholic drinks for women is considered to be too much.

Another important thing to consider if you are worried about consuming too much alcohol is if you have experienced memory lapses after a night of drinking. Drinking too much alcohol in a short amount of time, especially on an empty stomach, can lead to what is known as an alcohol-related blackout. If you have drank to the point of being "blackout drunk", you might have had that “uh-oh” feeling the next day as you begin texting your friends, trying to piece together what happened the night before. Unfortunately, blackouts are a tell-tale sign that way too much alcohol has been consumed.

For those who have ever experienced a blackout, it can often be a scary experience. Not only are you left wondering what happened the night before, you may also wonder what exactly happens to your brain when you get blackout drunk? Why does it make it impossible to remember what happened, say, after the fourth shot of tequila? Well, even though we can’t tell you whether or not you really danced on the pool table in front of your boss, we can try to help explain why drinking too much may cause memory lapses and blackouts.
