I've never posted to someone regarding the amount they drank because in recovery it isn't about how much we drink, but what it does to us. As is often said here, if the amount you drank caused you problems, it is a problem.

That said, you did not drink an extraordinary amount, and what you did drink was for a relatively short period, so I don't know why your brain issues are lingering for so long, unless it is unrelated to your alcohol intake.

That's why I've recommended in previous posts that you should seek out a medical professional and determine the possible causes. Not guess, nor query anonymous forum members.

I am in no way encouraging you to give up sobriety. I wish I had quit at a young age. I can directly point to 35 years of drinking for my many problems.
