I have a buddy who blacks out after two drinks. He can still drink lots more, and does, but he doesn't remember anything. He says he is not alcoholic.

My memory has always been bad, a result of brain damage. At seven years sober I proposed to my late wife two or three times before I remembered, or so she tells me.

I just broke up with my partner of the last eight years. While packing up her stuff I came across a copy of a romantic email I had sent her when we had jsut met. I know I wrote it, but I cannot remember it at all. It is very frustrating. I even went for altzheimers tests, which I passed.

I don't think it is possible to do what I did to my body and get away scott free. Yet in my drinking days, I hardly blacked out at all.
