Three times in last six months ,i've lost consciousness after drinking relatively small amounts( ie less than 500ml) Normally my tolerance level for alcohol is much higher..previously i use to consume upto 750 ml without much problems.....but now a days i loose my consciousness juz after consuming upto 500ml.its causing discomfort for me and for my freinds too..... it happens such that after a particular point of time i dont know what i m doing nd cannot remember anything that happened.now even i m afraid to drink with new drinkers or drink publicly.... One of my freinds told me tat it might be due to decrease in the count of (dehydrogenase-the liver enzyme tat breaks down alcohol). he also told tat reduction in some of the blood tissues and some hormones can cause the problem...i had also figured out tat my memry power has came down drastically during the last one year or so...... What can i do to fix this problem.........should i meet a doctor for this ???? I used to drink a lot for the past five years or so.....but i have succeded in reducing the consumption levels.Only during the Last six months ,i found out that my tolerance level has come down drastically,so i feel that there is sme pbm somewhere.................can anybody suggets some solutions for this problem................. (i am arelatively fast drinker.....i havent vomitted till now after drinking which i think itself is a big pbm)

I feel Drinking is really a addiction and not easy to quit all of sudden. But good thing is there are many rehabilition center for helping to get rid of these habits. to make a great change in life..I dont drink but i helped my friends and few of them quit addiction to drinks

I think you should a least discuss this with a doctor. I too had the same problem. I used to party all the time, then my tolerece went way down. I mean drastically I also had blackouts when i drank,not remembering alot of things from the night before. I even started just having everyday memory problems. when i went to my dr. I had blood tests done,just routine ones and found out I have liver damage. I am not trying to scare you cause everybody is different. and it could be something as simple as what you drink, but it is something at least worth looking into.
