Can Alcohol Use “Not Abuse” Retard a Person’s Ability to Concentrate and Retain Information?
Question by Djhan: Can alcohol use “not abuse” retard a person’s ability to concentrate and retain information?
I’m asking ’cause I usually have two or 3 drinks a day and I find that recently I’ve been having a lot of difficulty concentrating and retaining info. I never had difficulty concentrating and retaining before, in fact I never really had to study before, I’d just read the material and it would stay – but no more. I can’t even seem to focus long enough to get through reading my study texts. Do you think the alcohol is causing this?
