State

Alcohol is a depressant that impairs judgment, coordination, and memory formation in proportion to blood concentration.

Show

Blackouts occur when concentration rises fast enough to block hippocampal encoding while the person stays conscious.

Watch for

Initial talkativeness looks stimulating and is disinhibition. The direction of the drug's effect never reverses.
