Memory lapses can occur for variety of reasons, alcohol can be one, but there are others. 1- stop drinking 2- write down everything that happened before and after 3- see your doctor to consider all possible causes, they may recommend neurology evaluation after sorting out other medical causes too Epi_help Resource Specialist
