Beer & Short-term Memory Problems?

Mar 17, 2006 2 Replies

I have gotten into a bad habit of relaxing to 1-2 beers pretty much every day when I come home from work. It really is rare, even on weekends, for me to drink more than three beers and on week nights I VERY rarely drink more than two.



It seems that after what's been 1.5 - 2 years of this routine that my short-term memory is going to crap. Maybe I'm just tuning my wife out?! I seem to have no problem remembering things that I have to do at work --- but my wife tells me things and I flatout do not remember.



Could the beer be contributing to this already sensitive memory situation? Just curious if anyone else knows anything about this?

I drank a couple of beers per night for 20 years.

What were we talking about?
