Remembering everything while drunk?
It’s this universal consensus that people have memory loss when they get extremely intoxicated, “what happened last night”, “I had my 10th drink and can’t remember anything from there”.
I’ve been exceedingly intoxicated multiple times, much more than people who say they lost memory, yet I remember absolutely everything. Like, the unable to stand or feel anything, constant vomiting tier drunk.
Also drinking bad 👎.
I always thought people were completely lying about this.
I’m wondering if this is a feature of my autism, if anyone else has experienced this phenomenon?
My theory is that since my brain is in constant stimuli processing mode, it stays running in the background while NT’s don’t have that ‘scanning mode’ running.
