Mini Episode: Neuroscience of Alcoholic Blackouts

Written By Cherys Austin

This episode is a tribute to all who may be inclined to enjoy an extra drink or two this St. Patrick's day —

Or for anyone who's enjoyed a night out but can't remember it thanks to too many drinks.

So what actually happens to those memories during an alcoholic blackout? What's happening in the brain, and what can we learn from it?

Enjoy this month's mini-episode and find out... and have fun (while being safe) this holiday!
