Here's the biology behind alcohol induced blackouts:

It is not silly for you to wonder if you have affected your brain by drinking heavily. Teenaged brains are still developing and a whole new set of synapses are formed during adolescence. Thsu, the teenaged brain is highly affected by excessive amounts of alcohol, which would be considered more than 3 drinks in a sitting:

In the link above, please check out the images of a drinking vs. non-drinking teen showing memory function.

Please take a good hard look at your drinking and really think about what it is doing to you and how it could effect others. Hopefully, you will come to the conclusion that this is very dangerous for you and make the decision to stop.

Spend some time reading the stories of others who have been drinking hard for years. It only gets harder to stop the longer you drink. Right now, you have youth on your side.
