Memory issues
I stopped drinking over four years ago and while I was an active alcoholic I didn't really have issues remembering things and retaining information, I particularly names and conversations. I studied late and excelled at University to a Masters degree while drinking heavily. If anything I was one of those that could get utterly drunk and make a complete spectacle of myself and remember with crystal clarity every embarrassing detail the next day.
Over the last couple of years my wife and kids have remarked that my memory is getting worse. I'm learning languages on memrise and taken up guitar to exercise the brain but finding Im no way as mentally sharp as I was when I was a drinker.
In my forties and otherwise excellent health. Active alcoholic for 25 years.
Has anyone else found their memory loss may be a legacy of alcohol abuse and what have you done about it?
