10 Crazy Things Booze Does To Your Body

10. Why Do You Blackout?

We've all been there. You wake up the next morning and stagger downstairs, only to find somebody grinning smugly at you over a big mug of tea. They clearly remember something you don't about the night before.

So why is it that you can't remember a single moment of your rousing karaoke version of "I'm Too Sexy", despite the fact that the entire performance has been uploaded to Facebook?

Alcohol interferes with the neurotransmitters throughout your brain. This is the reason why your coordination and reaction times go down the drain after a couple of shots of tequila, but it is when this occurs in the hippocampus that you get those big black spots.

When these receptors stop working properly, you become unable to form memories. So it's not that you've "forgotten" the night's festivities, so much as you just never hit record in the first place. Your experiences pretty much went in one ear and right out of the other without leaving a trace.
