When someone drinks too much alcohol, alcohol-related blackouts start happening in their brain. Because of this, they may have a gap in their memory at that time. This means that they may not remember what they said during this time.

Experts say that these gaps only happen when someone drinks too much alcohol. The things they say while drunk are only remembered until then. Experts say that these are not remembered for a long time. This means that when they talk under the influence of alcohol and slip into intoxication, they forget those things.
