The way your body is affected by alcohol actually depends on many things, such as genes, some medications you’re probably taking, and if you just had a large meal (this is because food slows down alcohol absorption).
However, scientists suggest that binge drinking influences the way you remember events by disturbing glutamate, which is an essential brain messenger that’s linked to memory.
Therefore, if you have completely forgotten what happened last night or have woken up not really sure how you got home, then you’ve definitely had too many drinks and you should learn to set limits.
